Figured that out reading the WFS Campaign thread as well as other forums... Thanks.

It's just this phone is unusable with all the garbage apps inside. I need to clean it. Otherwise I'll have to spend more money on another phone for my wife...:mad:
[HTC Wildfire S] shaarky:
If it doesn't support fastboot, why it's then part of RUU update pack together with adb ?
[HTC Wildfire S] ONeill123:
The phone supports fastboot.

But the phone does not understand the oem command get_identifier_token for an unique key of the phone. And the bootloader hasn't got one or two lines at the start with the value of unlocked or locked like in the sensation xe.

So htc must give an update for hboot first, but they said, that they don't do it.
[HTC Wildfire S] gq455402012:
One-click unlock tool for all of the HTC device

So is there any way to get software keys (like in honeycomb) to my zte blade?

thanks for help
[Blade General] sm4tik:
You could flash this (use the download link under the post). Not the latest stable, but the latest build I know of that has softbuttons enabled.
[Blade General] hene193:
So can i update my rom to latest build without losing

any data?
[Blade General] sm4tik:
If you're using CM7 now, you can wipe dalvik cache only. No data is lost.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] northcutt1023:
I received my Nook Tablet for Christmas, and of course the first thing I do is root it (using Nook&Zergy). Now that I have access to the market, I ask myself"wheres all the apps?" I assume that it was the Android market filter hiding incompatible apps. So later on I try to side load and get errors. So now I just want to know how to get apps to work? I also blocked OTA's.

[In a nutshell]

What I know:

-Nook runs tweaked Gingerbread

-Honeycomb app I try to install get a parseing error when I try to install(most likely do to api's)

-Market has limited app selection.

What I want to know:

- Is it possible to get Honey comb apps to run(for example adobe touch apps, sketchbook pro hd ect...)

-Why is the android market selection so limited

-What is a parsing error?

- If you have any more advice feel free to share

Thank you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mattyboy81:
I'm having same issue

Im having the same problem. Google maps, Evernote, Facebook all do not show up in market. When I use the browser to access the market it says these apps are incompatible. Also words with friends installs and opens but doesn't show properly, the chat window overlaps the game board so you can't see it. Is this a dpi issue? I've seen other posts that maybe dpi needs to be changed to 160. If so, How is this done?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Gingerbread can't run honeycomb apps. I have evernote and some other apps I have found through other sites, however i have not got facebook to run yet.

The apps are limited because of the fingerprint of the device, but people have spoofed the build.prop file to gain access to more of the market. See other threads.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Echo17121:
I have facebook and twitter running on my rooted nook right now. I took the apks from my phone backups and put them in dropbox, downloaded and installed. (That was actually before I rooted) but they are working fine and the widgets work on the homescreens. I did that with all of the apps I wanted from my phone.

[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
guys can i use the same tool from the sensation to this to change the splash screen?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I've looked into the partitions and couldn't find any partitions that were the same. Since the tool probably requires s-off (which we don't have) and would effect a partition not designed for the Amaze, I wouldn't risk it since there is a small chance of corrupting a vital nand. For example if the splash screen partition for the Sensation is the kernel partition for the Amaze you could end up with a device that won't boot. So proceed at your own risk if I were you.
[HTC Amaze 4G] gypsy214:
yeah you are right. how about any boot animations from the sensation.

im just asking i have a sensation folder full of crap and wanted to know whats useful before i take the garbage out
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Bootanimations should still work since the screen size is the same and it's media related, not partition specific.

Just read this:

http://www.patentlyapple.com/patent...sence-detection-security-for-ios-devices.html

Fruit Company applied the patent last August 2010, long before ICS was released.

What would happen if this patent granted?

Note that prior art won't save Google, because the change to first to patent :

http://www.iplawalert.com/2011/09/a...-introduces-firsttofile-to-the-united-states/

F*ck, I hate this patent thing especially done by this Fruit Company!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
No, Google would have to be copying it exactly the way Apple does it. Apple is talking about 3D stuff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Chill. Just chill. Its not as serious as you think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edufur:
It would be completely ridiculous if the fruit company were awarded that patent since patents are only supposed to be awarded for the non-obvious. This kind of implementation has long been obvious since bio-metric technology has been around for over a decade. This is just one spin / flavor of that.

Obviously you are doing something wrong since it works perfect every time I've used it to show off.

I love face unlock, but it clearly needs more refinement. I hope Google brings that soon, I'm already pretty anxious for the 4.0.3 update.

Has anyone seen John Connor?

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi...

The man who created it was the one who ran PittPatt and whom Google bought. The patent was approved in 2008 and filed in 2004.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MysteriousDiary:
Face Unlock is a pretty old thing. There was computer software doing this already many years befor we had Android or iOS Devices. It's just another weird patent of Apple.

Even the way in the Apple patent to take the ratio of eyes, nose and mouth doesn't look new to me. I mean every crappy Webcam Software is doing this to recognize the parts of the face and do those weird big nose, big eyes, alien head and such effects.

If any of you are facing the same problem with amazon not shipping this tablet quick enough, i would suggest you cancel your order and buy it from office depot or best buy!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
I would keep the preorder from Amazon until you get a tracking number. I ordered one from best buy yesterday and then it got put on back order, sold out on the website, then became available again to order yet I have not received a tracking number or shipping notice.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ReaderLee:
Yes, I ordered from Best Buy yesterday at 1:30. Paid for express shipping ($42 for two). Was told "processes in 0-1 days" expected delivery of 12/30-1/3. It hasn't changed at all since then. I am suspicious that Best Buy has left that link up since yesterday. Why are they the only vendor that seems to have an unlimited supply? Very suspicious, especially considering that it's the special internal link that was set up for people who pre-ordered the champagne color and needed to switch to the gray. Once I have a tracking # I'll feel better!

[Android General] PAulyhoffman:
There is a person in my area who advertises that he will root a phone and show people how they can use their newly rooted device to get the paid applications from the android market for free.

One of his advertisements HERE

I sent a couple emails and asked exactly what he was doing.

He told me he is installing Titanium Backup on rooted phones and instructing people

to purchase an applications > backup the application using Titanium Backup > then refund the purchase.

I am aware that this does not work for all applications, but am appalled that this kind of thing not only seems OK for some, and they are profiting from stealing applications from the developers who are making them.

If there is something that can be done to stop people like this i would surely like to help

I also highly recommend that when building an application, a Developer check market license every time the app is started. This does make devices that are WiFi only hinder a bit, but crooks like this are ruining our android experience.

feel free to report him to the BSA

[Android General] pulser_g2:
They won't get asp updates, and you can only refund an asp once...

I'd not go so far as to suggest a licence check on every single launch, legitimate users will hate you and go elsewhere or get a cracked version...

Making legitimate irritating is why people currently pirate music so much... Same with game drm and no-cd patches... Steam addressed that for the pc though :)

But for this case, he's acting immorally and probably illegally...
[Android General] Theonew:
Well that's a terrible ad :p. He stated:
[Android General] ThemBonesAreMe:
"Use Wifi Hotspot for free"

uh, wat?:confused: One can already use unlocked wifi without rooting...

[Android General] Tone_Capone:
This an unfortunate side effect of all the abilities our developers have given us. It's sad to see people taking advantage of the open market of android, and using it for personal gain, but he also has to leave a lot of info out of the process for his "customers" to have the wool draped over their eyes.

Hopefully people will be able to sniff this out as to-good-to-be-true, and not let this guy make money off of products he doesn't own.

Someone should report him to his domain holder so he can be prosecuted. What he's doing is violating all wireless companies TOS and Google's TOS for the market and intellectual property.
[Android General] Revin:
I hate this guy. I just don't understand people who are just stealing apps and thinks that it will have no consequences. Today, every phone and app have internet access and developers are able to find out how many their apps were stolen and how many were purchased. So then, if everybody will be just stealing apps, they will stop development and we will have no apps and games and it will kill Android like it did to Windows mobile (there on the other hand was easier to download cracked apps then to buy it).
[Android General] Fordtransit:
This dude is unbelivable, as are the customers who do business with hm. I really hope that this is microscopic part of consumers. It really wrong and dumb to steal something costing 1 or 10 euros or usd and takng a risk that it does not work at all. Do peopole actually count any value for their time and effort? Taking one hour or so to mess up your phone and steal what, 5 euros from devs who have written Better guides online with video tutorials, then many network operators ever boder... this is low.

Report him asap.
[Android General] calyxim:
He is not doing anything illegal. He is just showing you how to steal apps. Now it is down to you to steal or not to steal.
[Android General] Kazuha Vinland:
Calyxim is right, although he is participating in the crime kinda.
[Android General] CrippledEmu:
He may not be doing the illegal acts but he is aiding people who are willing to steal them. Which technically makes him an accomplice to theft, therefore making it illegal.
[Android General] ikesik:
I also found that funny. Outside of the obvious legal and moral implications of stealing, I find it more than annoying that he is providing a service that should never be done for profit, but rather out of interest and love for hacking in whatever form one is able. Call me an elitist, but I think that I you are not able to root your phone and or don't have the drive to ask someone for help like about a million people on this forum, then you have no business rooting. Getting a rooted device without so much as a basic understanding for the process is the equivalent of script kiddying in my estimation.
[Android General] eggydrums:

[Android General] Grim-Droid:
I agree it is theft but at the exact same time my view is on this is the guy is wrong for charging for a service like this. Personally I think it is pointless to get worked up over theft of a mobile application like tons of people crack software for computers it happens. But has anyone ever considered Android's kernel? It is Linux which means it relates to the Free Software philosophy which gets me why charge for apps why make a profit I personally believe in coding for learning,fun, collaboration and the benefit for others. But if someone wants to make a profit then sure go ahead. But you know people are just going to pirate it so how much of a profit will you truly make off a app? But to go as far as charging someone for that kind of service is even lower.

You cannot decrypt unless verizon wireless allows it. Unless I am mistaken they use a 256 bit encryption on the bootloader.

[Acer Iconia A500] MalachiX:
Hey guys,

I just got an Iconia for Christmas and love it to death. Seems like the perfect tablet for me.

I see a lot of stuff on this forum about rooting however and I'm curious what the practical benafits to rooting are. I origionally had planned to route the iconia because I heard it didn't support netflix but the netflix app seems to work fine on my device so I'm happy there.

There were a lot of things that made me want to route my phone (Samsung Epic) such as the desire to tether other devices to it and get rid of all the Samsung, pre-istalled BS and Touch Wiz which made the phone run slowly. Those considerations don't exist here as Honey Comb seems to be plenty fast and there doesn't appear to be many BS additions from Acer.

So, with all that in mind, what exactly does one gain practically by rooting the Iconia?
[Acer Iconia A500] snardos:
I rooted my a500 so I could connect to ad-hoc networks and use ntfs drives.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
It is a very personal question in the sense that there is no one, single reason why people root. I for example rooted because I needed ad-hoc wifi, otherwise I could have well survived without rooting. Once I did root my tablet I did of course install CWM so I can take a full backup of the whole thing -- better safe than sorry, as they say -- and tried a few different ROMs too, though I then went back to stock as it was the least buggy.

Just ask yourself: is there anything I need root for?
[Acer Iconia A500] CuriousTech:
I think I root for a few different reasons.

ClockworkMod for nandroid backup and other things.

Titanium backup for app/data backup and easy bloat remove/restore.

AdFree

overclocking and other performance adjustments

Cifs/Samba support - I have 3 androids with share links on my PC desktop for drag-n-drop file copying without wires.

Root explorer of course.

Drive mount seems to need it.

Oh and theming - I like to theme and make small code changes.

Thanks for the advice everyone.

I was all set to root because I heard that Netflix wasn't functioning on the Iconia and rooting was easy.

Now I find that Netflix works fine and apparently I shouldn't have let my tablet update when I first turned it on.

Guess I'll leave my Iconia alone for now.

[Acer Iconia A500] wtatters:
id be waiting for ICS

One word really - titanium - there is just no better way to make a full backup.

But having said that - with all the rumors of ICS withing maybe weeks - rooting may not be such a good idea right now ... most OTA updates do tend to have issues with rooted devices.
