atm its probably your best bet atm. its all very easy to use and very self contained. the xtc clip can make the goldcards needed for all the htc phones. you then connect the xtc clip and the sdcard to the phone by sd slot and flexy cable(comes with it)(no sdcard though) you then boot the phone into the bootloader and the xtc clip will pop with instructions to use it. very handy bit of kit if you need to do alot of htc`s and easy to help you make a bit of money on the side like. things to note. when running it on the pc to create the goldcards my antivirus pops up saying it has a virus but aftet extended use and multiple scans i think it is just a false positive :/ also that is very cheap.

ive nere noticed it deleting anything important. just back up your contacts first, everything else like your pictures should be on your sdcard anyway. you might lose your apn settings, but if your changing carrier ie sim unlock i cant see it being an issue :)

ps. it also sets the cid to 11111111 and it is irreversiable. and as far as i know a warrenty voider.

I'm up in Edinburgh, sorry man.
[Wildfire General] apollopayne:
Was also looking on ebay there is someone renting a xclip for 9.99 for 2days. just wondering if anyone used this option? I really want it done but I cant justify buying it as only me wanting to use it and would be cheaper to just get unlock code.
[Wildfire General] heavy_metal_man:
well man you could buy one, use it and sell it on like. im sure there would be people on here happy to buy one for a good deal like.

also, honestly, i dont understand how a rental would work. would they mail it to you and you mail it back? seems quite strange. if there are any of those phone unlock shops near you, you could offer them to buy you xtc clip, they might want it if they realise how useful it is. and might even pay slightly more than its worth;)
[Wildfire General] apollopayne:
I gave up to lol and brought a unlock code for now til I can get hold of a xtc clip. Found on Ebay a really cheap unlock codes and they say arrives 5mins to 24hrs and mine came in 2 mins. At a great price of £3.99. If people want to use this also pm and ill give link and if alot want it ill post it. The seller is a trusted seller on Ebay and I'm very happy with there service.
[Wildfire General] andya666:
I too had to concede defeat and bought an unlock code, I also used ebay found a new seller (essexgsm) only got 10 feedback so far but only £2.25!!!! and the code was in my emails by the time I had opened the page. Now I want to know how they did it so I can make some quick cash!!!!! Oh and it worked of course.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manneman32:
I didn´t feel it was right to put my question on the "general questions about themes"-thread... I actually only want to get directions for a specific theme.

This is my config: Stock 2.3.3 Version 3.0.1.G.0.75 without any Bravia or xLoud... Rooted and xRecovery 3 installed.

I Would like a theme that does not have any SE Blue tinted background in the menus, dialpad, messaging and other places. I would like it to be black or perhaps dark grey (as I have seen some themes have). However... the only one I have found was made for 3.0.1.C.0.75 and as I understand also for Bravia or xLoud (I think it´s called) I tried it but I ran into a bootloop.

So... can anyone point me in the right direction to a theme that is close to what I´m after? And if possible as close to Stock as possible but with all the blueish backgrounds replaced with a more discret dark color (or perhaps black).

I really wish the X10 had the same possibilities as the Arc 2.3.4... with a themechanger. One theme there has all backgrounds black.

I have glanced at several other ROM´s but I don´t wanna loose the SE camera and so on... also the stability.

Best regards...

I just saw this on the MAKE magazine blog, thought i'd share how cool this is (granted some already knew this, but im sure many didnt).

Your CMOS sensor is taped over with black tape, and the application (above) sets a baseline, and detects primary radiation that easily passes through the tape. You don't need to get this app tho, as the video shows you can still see high radiation without covering the lens, but getting the app will allow you to get readings. (still haven't read everything about the app, my info could be off FYI)

I didn't place this under themes/app, as its not actually a [APP] posting, nor is it mine. Its also not clear its compatibility to the nexus or ICS, but they claim they are adding new devices

Hi Guys,

anyone got an idea which Keyboard would be the best as an alternative to Kindle Key board and also in addition what of of pen could one

use with it for just writing notes? (free hand) etc.! Any suggestions?

Thx

regards

mjay
[Kindle Fire General] skourg3:
I have no recommendations or comments on using a pen, but in terms of alternate keyboards I am a big fan of Thumb Keyboard. It has different layouts you can use depending on how you like to type including a neat split portrait layout and multiple split landscape layouts perfect for holding the sides and using your thumb. My favorite feature is that there are two spacebars; one will use autocorrect and one does not. Takes moving a couple files around to get it to work on stock, just like any other keyboard.
[Kindle Fire General] mjay3000:
thanks gonna try that one ASAP ;)

Does it also support freehand-writing or Do you know such an app which can transform your free-handwriting into to text?

cheers
[Kindle Fire General] scrols:
I've got some inside news that Thumb keyboard is going to get specially modified theme for kindle fire, due to lack of hardware buttons. So yeah I recommend it too.
[Kindle Fire General] jdommer:
For a pen, I just grabbed a random one from the iPad aisle in target.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
+1 for Thumb Keyboard though I tend to share between it and Swype. I especially like the Preset keys you can set for sentences for things I need to type over and over but are harder to type (Like an SMS commands to a gateway server which needs a specific format).

As for a pen, I wouldn't hope too much there. The best you can do is one of the capacitance pens (same as what the iPad uses). They have large rounded tips and don't do well for real handwriting.

Even on something like the ASUS Transformer Prime, the stylus there does not work very well.

However, there is new stuff coming for some devices like the ASUS Transformer Prime. There is a company which is unlocking the hardware that is already in those devices which then allows you to use a real active stylus with a small tip that in the demo's I've seen had lots of control and worked very smoothly.

I don't think you will see anything like that on the Fire though.
[Kindle Fire General] s0urc3:
Agreeing here. Swype is for my portrait-mode quick-typing of random messages when I'm not doing a whole lot of typing that requires commands, like on the forums or when I'm writing emails. Thumb is perfect for my ssh stuff and irssi use, however, so I stick with that in landscape.

Holding out hope for a nice BT keyboard if BT support gets thrown into a rom anytime soon :)

After partitioning the sd card, how do i move the apps or install my app to the sd directly?
[Desire General] erklat:
You do it by installing rom with a2sd and not doing anything.
[Desire General] jmitr:
If your realy stuck with low app space and not sure if anything worked, do the following:

1. Make a backup of your current setup (nanddroid)

2. Backup all your user apps with titanium backup

3. Full wipe

4. Install a new ROM with either a2sd or data++ if you have at least a 1gb ext3 partion

5. restore your user apps using titanium, they should all restore to the "right place" and you'll have more room than before

DO NOT select "move to sd" under the applications menu, this will move your apps away from your ext3 partion onto the fat32 partion of your sd card

Basically, use this procedure anytime you flash a new ROM unless the dev advises otherwise in the op.
[Desire General] spurgeonjudah:
Awesome and is there any way to back up sms alone and restore it?
[Desire General] stankyou:
You haven't searched the android market haven't you? :rolleyes:
[Desire General] coos lick:
You may also want to look at ext4 rather than ext3 for the partition. Some roms - say RunnyMede AIO will likely work better on ext4.
[Desire General] jmitr:
I personally use "mobile backup II" for sms and call logs, but there are loooooots of solutions available on the market.

I like to use things that I can easily "dropbox" my back up file.
[Desire General] jmitr:
I use ext3. I also use a 2.1 / 3.0 hybrid as my daily driver (as per my sig). Of course the great thing about nandroid back ups is it's freakin easy to test new ROMs when you have a few days to fool around. Sebs runnymede ROM with the new installer will convert your ext3 to ext4 automatically. When I flashed my recovery back, it also restored my partion to ext3.

Interesting article on Rootzwiki:

Wiping Battery Stats is Pointless, Says Google Jan 13 2012 09:30 PM | Ashley Glenn in Articles

Over time wiping battery stats has become a regular ritual among the Android enthusiast community. Buy a new battery? Wipe your battery stats! Upgrade to a bigger battery? Wipe your battery stats! Change kernels or restore a nandroid backup? You know what to do: wipe battery stats! But this ritual may soon become a thing of the past thanks to Google engineer Dianne Hackborn, who sheds a light on the subject that puts the tightly-held practice of wiping battery stats in the same league as carrying a lucky rabbit's foot or throwing a pinch of spilled salt over your shoulder.

Recommending that users wipe their battery stats appears in so many places and as a cure for so many ills that it has become ubiquitous. Adherents to this practice will sit and wait for their phones to report a full charge, then use an app that deletes the batterystats.bin file or reboot into recovery mode and wipe it from there. This supposedly cures a number of ills such as battery scaling issues, poor battery percentage reporting, and any of a myriad other number of issues. The truth is, according to Android Framework Engineer Dianne Hackborn, that this file is a repository for information about system activity and that it actually takes care of itself without the need for user intervention. From Dianne's post:

Quote

This file is used to maintain, across reboots, low-level data about the kinds of operations the device and your apps are doing between battery changes. That is, it is solely used to compute the blame for battery usage shown in the "Battery Use" UI in settings.

That is, it has deeply significant things like "app X held a wake lock for 2 minutes" and "the screen was on at 60% brightness for 10 minutes."

It has no impact on the current battery level shown to you.

It has no impact on your battery life.

Deleting it is not going to do anything to make your more device more fantastic and wonderful... well, unless you have some deep hatred for seeing anything shown in the battery usage UI. And anyway, it is reset every time you unplug from power with a relatively full charge (thus why the battery usage UI data resets at that point), so this would be a much easier way to make it go away.

It really can't be put more straightforward than that, folks. So rest assured next time you put a new battery in or flash a new kernel or restore an old backup that all you have to do to help your phone or tablet play nice with its battery is charge it to 100% and do nothing else. It really is that simple. But don't worry, enthusiasts - you'll find plenty of other reasons to hang out in recovery anyway.

[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
This is interesting, so Google engineering will incorporate it into new OTA's? Or does this mean I've wasted time while flashing countless Roms?
[Motorola Droid X2] Jubomime:
I'm reading this as we've been wasting time.
[Motorola Droid X2] robocuff:
Not wasting time flashing countless roms. Just wasting time wiping battery stats. That's the way it looks to me. Personally, I've always thought wiping battery stats was nothing but a whole lot of voodoo. Never had the need for it, don't see why anybody else would either. Let the flames begin. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
I knew it couldn't possibly have an effect on actual battery life, but I thought maybe the file collected information about the length of the battery to calibrate the meter (because let's face it, with the X2 battery bug it's pretty clear that it doesn't get the value directly from the battery).

Funny thing about calibrating when it gets to 100 though...if there truly is something wrong with the meter, why would you suddenly trust it to know when it's charged? This is why I'd always charge it for a little extra and go by the voltage meter.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
So basically, I've seen a couple of different readings. I've always waited past 100% and in different ROMs I've seen 4192, 4196, 4198, & 4200 mah.

I use the extended battery, sooooo readings may vary between regular battery.
[Motorola Droid X2] Stuckinabox:
I have an extended battery as well. Actually, I have two extended batteries and two regular batteries. Got the first one with my droid X, then a faulty extended battery (bad batch where the meter doesn't read right), then a replacement extended battery, then the one that came with my X2. No two are the same, but they should all max out near 4200 mV.
[Motorola Droid X2] Pixelation:
Edit: I use one extended battery.

Ok this screen is after install of CM 7 tonight, it reads 4205 mah, so why is it different, with different Roms?

Weird isn't it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] invikto:
No, this is not another post asking about when the bootloader would be unlocked...I actually notice and use the search button.

I read everywhere that Motorola "can't afford to unlock the bootloader" b/c of their financial situation, since VZW demanded they keep it locked.

I read everywhere that Google is going to acquire Motorola.

So, if that happens, wouldn't that mean that Motorola would have the upper hand? Its not like VZW can afford to NOT carry Android phones, and it really wouldn't be a VZW vs Moto thing, it would be a VZW vs Google (if they acquire Moto).

I'm just trying to put 2 and 2 together...and this is my logical conclusion...but as always, I could be wrong...
