It's not about killing the internet. Remember as we get older politicians are getting closer to our age. Now its starting to become about information control, limiting public outcry at worst or keeping information unavailable at best. There are some very good articles online about how SOPA and related bills are not about lack of understanding but more about control. It's kinda scary when you look at it from a control perspective than a lack of knowledge perspective.

Most politicians admit they have no idea on the specifics of SOPA & PIPA, it's all political lobbying.

Maybe we can fight it, but I think too many people just don't care.

Maybe they'll get with thepiratebay and help them buy that island they wanted!:p

I read today that there's a real worry that ACTA could be passed without anyone really knowing it had been.

The article went on to describe how you could potentially be sued for having a tattoo of a company logo. Bit extreme and probably unlikely but it just goes to show how powerful ACTA could be.

I thought Acta was mainly for online piracy, but if that is true oh dear. on the other hand companies can do that already dont t I mean the logo is copyrighted too.

steelseries posted that some guy made their logo as a tattoo on his back neck yeaterday.

thats free advertisement for companies they wont sue anyone for that. well except apple I guess.

[General Topics] kmcspecial:
This current trend of legislation is asinine. We understand that piracy is a problem. However it's a self created problem created by the use of an outdated business/customer service model. The way to fix this is not stripping people's online rights. :mad:
[General Topics] Cabe24i:
I think the problem is everyone assumes these laws are there just to deal with piracy. Piracy is just the headline, controlling devices to prevent piracy (i.e. DMCA and in some lines, ACTA) does more than just prevent piracy. It also prevents us from doing what we want to the devices we buy and to a greater degree, limit our freedoms.

For example, border searches. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Counterfeiting_Trade_Agreement#Border_searches)

Take this extreme example, currently in the states its illegal to goto another country (i.e. Holland) and smoke weed. (ref: http://www.addictinginfo.org/2011/10/09/republicans-introduce-legislation-that-would-imprison-americans/) Why? Because you are a citizen of the united states and since you are a citizen you are bound by its laws. Even if it's legal in the other country. Now, normally they wouldn't know you smoked weed. However, if they search your phone under ACTA in the border searches provision and they notice a picture of you smoking a joint and holding a bud, boom. Jail.

Well, this point is probably moot, since they already allow border searches (I think due to the patriot act) but its an example, still. It's just another way to erode your freedoms, just more globally.

Edit: "Drug Trafficking Safe Harbor Elimination Act of 2011" hasn't passed yet, so it's still legal to go to another country and violate the CSA (Controlled Substances Act) as long as you don't do it on US land or territory and as long as its legal there.
[General Topics] evilgenius00:
the same anti piracy companies are trying to push a law against jailbreaking a product, wether it be consoles or phones.

I took my favorite boot animation (AndroidParticles1 by Dysgenic) and added a Galaxy S2 Exynos graphic to it to make it GS2 specific. The original boot animation came from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905538 and I received permission from Dysgenic to post my altered version of it. I added the GSII text/graphic to all frames of the animation so it is stationary while the particles do their thing.

Use:

You need to be rooted.

The stock ROM rooted will not support a .ZIP boot animation (I use UnNamed ROM.)

Put the ZIP file (do not unzip) at /system/media and rename to bootanimation.zip

Here is one frame of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eep2378:
Nice! Should have put this in Themes and Apps section, No?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mtucker:
I considered that category, but didn't think a boot animation and theme were close enough. You are right though, I do see some other boot animations in Themes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thephoneguyusa:
Nice any chance of a red version? May put this on my rom I'm putting together.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TOA Duck:
Nice work. I have a thread over there.

There may be a red one in the general Android apps and themes section. Of course it won't have the modifications he made.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mtucker:
I can easily change the GSII Exynos text to any color, but can not change the original boot animation that Dysgenic did (the green android and particles).

Thanks Divine_Madcat for moving me to the right thread.

Colorize Tip

Attached is the original animation in red (no words)

(note: this is not an install, just the boot animation zipped)

You can use the Photo tool GIMP to colorize,

just open the image, make sure that it is in RGB mode,

then go to the color menu, choose colorize, then adjust the sliders the same for all images.

;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mtucker:
Nice. I'll have to try out GIMP sometime.

If you are still interested, would you like the text in white or in red to match the particles/android?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mtucker:
Maybe. The GSII is my first Android phone and while I have been sucking up information as fast as I can, I don't know at this time how to make something flashable. I'll look into...... it won't be anytime real soon.

I can do that. I'll take the DoomZday graphic from your signature and stick it on the particle boot animation. If it is part of your ROM, I suggest that you give credit to Dysgenic in your ROM info. I should have it by tomorrow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] thephoneguyusa:
Awesome! I'll make sure you and him get a thanks on my rom op :D

a while back i flashed Trigger to my phone using odin. Ive been using trigger since and its becoming buggy so i was looking into new ROMs but i was unsure of something. My baseband build is KD1, so does that mean i can only use KD1 builds or what :| Sorry if this facepalm worthy but its been a while since i did any of this. Im also looking for recommendations on what ROM to use next and if there is anything special i need to do when switching ROMs.

Thanks

You can flash any rom but if you flash a gingerbread rom you will need to have the correct bootloaders. Fbis251 has an excellent starter pack that you should check out. Valhalla is the only gb rom I liked. It is good others are equally as good.

Thanks for you replies everyone. I don't know exactly how it happened because I found the phone like this on my driveway. My neighbors across the street were having a party and I'm guessing someone that was drunk broke it or something. I just wanted to know the price to see if it was worth repairing and then selling or just trashing it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AestenD:
Holy crap! With that much damage, and saying you found in driveway, I think it might have been driven over with a car lol. If you have the sprint insurance plan, go with the 100$ deductible. If you don't..... Don't know what to advise.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SouthPhilly:
Well before you go spending cash on this ET4G ask yourself...

This isn't your phone, and you said you found it in your driveway. Chances are if someone lost it, most likely they reported it lost.

Ahhh, if only we had more customer's with that mentality!

If you bring it into a Sprint store, most likely they will refer you to Asurian. That is the "official" policy. However, if you are at a cool Sprint store like the one I work at, as long as they have a phone to harvest a screen from, they will fix it, be it active on an account. It's just hit or miss if they have another phone to harvest from.

Hello everyone,

I'm sure many of you have been frustrated with having to answer the same questions 39 times in any given ROM/Kernel thread, or at least have had to read through people asking & answering the same questions over and over.

Or maybe you've had to read the past 85 posts in a thread, b/c you missed 2-3 days of action b/c you were busy, just to keep up, so you could save face, and not ask a question that was already answered.

Or maybe you just like helping out, and keeping threads clean.

Well, I'm trying to get some momentum requesting that the Devs enable the in-thread Wiki post. It's a post that shows up after the OP that allows anyone to edit/update content. Better than an external Wiki...b/c it's RIGHT after the OP & our MODs won't have to waste time updating their OPs over and over...we can do it for them, AND we can save everyone time.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ripsphone:
I got my vibrant unlocked and I have it running on At&t. I switched it over because At&t is the only provider that gets signal at my work.

My question is this...I am not getting AS GOOD of reception as people that are using phones that were designed for the At&t network. I actually am getting 3G, but again, it drops back to edge more frequently.

Is there anything I can do that will enhance my signal? Are there any radios, I can flash that might help?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolguy14783:
The vibrant only gets 1700 (AWS) Mhz, 1900 Mhz, and 2100 Mhz for 3g. It does not support 850 Mhz UMTS, which is also used by AT&T. If you are in an area that does not use 1900 Mhz, you would not get 3g from AT&T.

You can try flashing different modems and see which one would work best. This pretty much is a hardware limitation of the vibrant, as it supports only one of the two UMTS bands AT&T uses.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vengfulr3ap3r:
Hello, sorry for asking this question.

But is it possible to have ADW launcher have the default app drawer or are the launcher and appdrawer tied together. eg you can only have one or the other. The device in question is the motorola xoom wifi. I didn't post this in the xoom forums because its more of a general android question concerning launchers on a tablet then it is a device specific question.

Reason being is because I enjoy having ADW launcher's ability to take up the full screen on my xoom as opposed to have the columns on either side where you cant place app (wasted screen real estate if you ask me, since theirs no need for a tapping area when you can swipe to change screens). But at the same time I very much enjoy the ICS app drawer and being able to see a visual representation of my widgets and what not.

Does anyone know if it is possible to have both the ICS app drawer and a custom launcher? By this I mean to have the custom launcher home screen and the default appdrawer? I have googled but I haven't found an answer Thats why im asking. I don't know enough about android to figure it out on my own, So can you have both your cake and eat it too? Or is the homescreen tied to their respective launchers. Eg you cant have the default app drawer without also using the default homescreen launcher? Or is it possible to mix and match app drawer's with a launcher. my initial feeling is that they're tied together, But considering im sure someone else has wondered this before, I thought I would ask. I hope I explained this well enough. Thank you all in advance for your replies and any help rendered.

[General Questions and Answers] sean is here.:
I could be wrong, but I don't think SOPA shut down Megaupload. If it passed, and is made into a law...all sites that are deemed supportive of illegal activity could be squashed. Meaning if you post a link to an illegal DL to Facebook, even that could be shut down (although realistically, FB is pretty legit and huge so I guess Mark would pull some strings).

Unfortunately pirates rely on these sites, too. When they're abused they'll be attacked by government(s because eventually other govts will be doing similar stuff, too, if it passes).
