Before you try HTC unlock, try your best to get S-OFF... I and some others were lucky to get the Dinc2 before VZW, as always, ruined it for everyone and put useless updates on it to block S-OFF.. Thanks Dr. Buzz Kill. Now, I don't know the status of S-off on this new firmware as I didn't need to. But if you get S-OFF, it is like god mode! You can go nuts with flashing... HTC unlock, on the other hand, will need you to flash ROMs a bit differently...

Heard of it looooong time ago and I am okay. I rarely have virus troubles as I only go to trusted sites and download trusted apps... And as it turns out, this virus is not on my pc...
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
No worries for me as i use open dns on all my computers and most any i set up for anyone and some serious virus protection to boot...lol

Also wanted to thank everyone for their input regarding my request for tablet info, this really is one fantastic community.

[Motorola Droid X2] litetaker:
Recently, in a seminar at my university, I got a 16 GB flash drive from Samsung. Sad part is it is shaped like a business card :(

If you get around buying one, you can use this software to make a bootable USB too: http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/home And you can choose options to make that persistent (to save your changes to settings, files, etc.) . This means, if you have a fast enough USB drive, you have a totally usable, tiny portable OS!!! :O

More options = merriment.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Shaped like business card? Interesting lol. Dual booting from a USB drive is very appealing. I love some flexibility. I just really want to get going...hopefully this work week doesn't kill me.
[Motorola Droid X2] paxChristos:
I prefer yumi, I have a 16GB flash drive that could boot ubuntu (10.04/12.04/32&64bit distros) archbang (32&64bit) arch (32&64 bit) & knoppix latest DVD (9 total isos). Overkill? Heck yes! Being able to fix any system at all? Priceless ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Fedora is where its at :cool: and you don't have a way to burn a CD or DVD? In abcense of the thumb drive?
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
I do. When I tried that, the comp spit out every cd I tried saying Mint wouldn't fit. Think I'm going to use the thumb drive methodm
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Strange...have you tried any other builds? I know from personal experience that there a numerous fedora spins that will fit on a standard CD...then they have the DVD version as well

Random question:

I downloaded the AOKP Mixer CM9 Theme. Running CM9 on my X2, I just tried to load the theme and got this:

Good Idea or bad idea to run it anyway?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Its fine to run hit apply anyway and reboot
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Groovy, I'll give it a whirl. Heck, I can always Nandroid :D
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Ya know, I haven't I was so focused on Mint cause that sounded like the most user friendly distro Linux provides. I guess this would be the place to ask which distro would be best for someone that only does the basic things with a computer? Really all I do on it is school research, writing papers, watching TV shows and playing magic online.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
I have ran them all literally...and fedora is my favorite...works great out of the box so you will probably have no problems with a basic install....I personally like the kde or xfce desktops xfce is way more simple and slim....gnome or kde are the more fancy desktops. I would suggests gnome or kde desktop it will be the easiest transition then you can try others as you get more comfortable with fedora and Linux as a whole

If you're going to keep the install simple and what not go with Fedora 17...18 is the beta out but I would wait if you want more stability.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Oh and by the way once you get it up and running try xbmc for your media center its the best in my opinion...all though there are a ton of ways to handle media and lots of people like different ones for different reasons.
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
im running xubuntu 12.04 and dual booting windows 7; both x64, its running pretty amazing actually

i use linux for adb/android & win 7 to do school work on
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
So what I'm getting is switching between kde xfce and xmbc desktops is pretty easy, no?
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Yes you can have multiple desktop environments installed at one time and then select the one you would like to log into at the login screen so that is nice. Xmbc is the media hub that I was talking about. Xfce gnome and kde are the three desktop environments that I was talking about.

As for simplicity its selected from a drop down at login so can't get more simple than that ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
That is verrry nice.
[Motorola Droid X2] trafalger888:
Very much so. And there are some Gnome applications, for instance that I prefer over their KDE counterparts which are available from within the KDE environment.

My bride wants to ditch her Crackberry and come over to the light side. What's a descent good all around phone to get? She could care less about moding or dressing it up (not very technically savy). She's gonna have to pay full price more than likely thanks to Big Red. Ideas??
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
I was thinking galaxy nexus for my next phone
[Motorola Droid X2] ztotherad:
+1 thats what im thinking honestly, but do you lose your unlimited by upgrading (ie going to get a sim card)?
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
If you buy off contract or from like swappa or Craigslist, you won't lose unlimited. If you get a sim card you won't loose it since they are free and nobody has to know :)
[Motorola Droid X2] Ryno77:
Jelly bean installed on my xoom...fun stuff :)
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
+1 thats what Im thinking ;)
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
That's kinda what I was thinking.... my X2 for her and me moving up to a Nexus. But, I doubt she'll fly for that.
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
She will if she's not technologically savvy lol
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Bahahaha! True.

So....... Nexus or S lll????
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
If you want development, nexus. Get the sgs3 if you want a phone like the x2...
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
From what Ive read so far the Nexus has an unlocked boot loader, right ? so from that alone I would say the nexus since Verizon confirmed today that the SIII has locked the boot loader..and also, SIII its lots more $

EDIT:

I would have to look at the SII as well..havent done much reading on that one
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
For the galaxy nexus, you go into adb and type adb reboot bootloader . Then type fastboot OEM unlock and your unlocked. Then flash a recovery and your golden for all the roms :)
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
Nice..so far the nexus is the front runner :good:
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
I dont see any other option. The best phones on vzw ever? The og droid and the gnex. Hands Down. Rezound is good but with aosp still not there.... I cracked my screen so I need a new phone. I was looking at the sgs3 but with a signed, encrypted and most importantly a LOCKED BOOTLOADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get a gnex. You won't be disappointed. The camera is satisfactory and the radios aren't as bad as everyone says.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
If I was heading for the S3 I'd really pony up for an international quad core version that I could use on AT&T.
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Reading about what you guys are thinking of doing is good. Looking myself and can confirm (have been told several times by different VZ peeps) that if you bring a 4g phone in and activate or whatever, you won't loose your unlimited or have to convert to a share plan etc. I think this has been documented enough. :)

Finally drug myself to a VZ store today. Wanted to see the GNext and Rezound for myself to see how they felt and check screen size and all. Found something interesting on the Galaxy. Screen burn. Kinda reminded me of Plasma TV or something. Check it out.

I'm assuming this is due to the fact that this phone is on all day every day etc. Things that make you go hmmm....
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Yeah but those things are on.the homescreen 24/7! If I get screen burn, you'll be the first to.know :p
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
haha, that would totally suck wouldn't it?

Think it has anything to do with the type of screen it is? Didn't notice on any of the other phones in that store. The screen was sort of discolored etc too. I think that was other remnants of burnage. :)
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
Don't even play like that man :eek: That phone has been sitting on there since it came out..the poor thing has been exposed to people doing things to it...evil things :(

[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
I preferred the Rezound over the Nexus. The only thing I liked better on the Nexus was the SAMOLED screen. It was slower, and actually ran ICS worse than the Rezound, both on custom ROMs. Just browsing through the thread and saw the X2 vs Fascinate thing; owned both, Fascinate>X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Well it really depends. Spec wise its rezound > gnex any day but development wise its EASILY, HANDS DOWN gnex >rezound.

Also, Fassy > x2. Dual core is nothing compared to it. Had both too. :3
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
For the Fascinate vs X2, I think the Hardware should have given the X2 an edge, but it was crippled by software, and since the Nexus S and Fascinate are almost identical internally, it has made ICS webbing much easier for it.

As for the GNexus, I did like the ROMs and whatnot, but they just couldn't bring it up to par with the Rezound. There's more variety in the Rezound ROMs. Btw, is the Fascinate making a comeback or something? I keep seeing more and more people using them on XDA.
[Motorola Droid X2] antp121:
Lol. I think steve(the guy who has all the ics roms) said jt is coming back. That can only mean one thing imo, JELLY BEANZ
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Yeah I heard something about a few Fascinate devs waiting for the 4.1 source to be released so they could begin porting.
[Motorola Droid X2] motcher41:
I never did like the galaxy nexus screen I thought it was kinda cheap n junkie feeling

rockin my EVO 4G LTE
[Motorola Droid X2] swbf2lord:
Oh yeah, I just found the thread where he was looking for a Fascinate. A member is supposed to be sending him one if not already. I guess it's bad that I've been in the forum since '09 and am not exactly sure who JT is.

Well it was PenTile. The SAMOLED did help with that, but it wasn't as good as a true SAMOLED screen like on the SGS and SGSII, might be on SGSIII as well but idk, they may have used PenTile again.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Realizations that come at 5am:

1) I curse my body for waking up after only 4 hours of sleep.

2) I use the "thanks" button on xda as a "like" button.

3) The homerun derby continues to be underwhelming.

4) Reading through the "nearby tweets" (feature on tweetcaster) makes me fear for the future of our world. :what:

That's all for now. :p
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
I'm kinda diggin' the new facelift of XDA!
[Motorola Droid X2] grnsl2:
Tally, this totally messed me up too! Was sitting here, working on a redo of CM9 for my phone. Had a few of these pages open and when I refreshed to see if there was something new, i had all these yellow buttons all over etc. Ha, thought, oh crap what did I do...

Cracking me up. I'm sure most of us do the same after 4 hrs. :) The nearby tweets are pretty creepy, espically if the tweets are in your neighborhood right? One thing if you can pretend they're in some other crazy part of the world, say Philly, right Ash? ;-)
[Motorola Droid X2] kenjesse:
Love your words of wisdom and I know what you mean about "premature wake ups" pretty much an everyday occurrence for me these days.
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
YES! Some were too close for comfort. And about 97% of them included horrid grammar, and messages that I could vaguely translate to drugs and sex. Pretty sure "ggg's doin wut gggggs dew, doggy world n errrbodys thursty" has something to do with... ah, hell. I don't know. I'm sure Ash knows more about that. ;) (I love how Ash gets ragged on without even being in the convo yet, hahaha)

In other news, I'm liking the new theme for xda! Totally threw me off at first, too. But I think I am going to like it. Looks cleaner. And I'm totally ok with less poopy brown.

Lololol "premature wake ups", indeed! I think my REM cycle is 4 hours, as this tends to happen quite a bit. Can't really remember the last night I slept the whole night through. To make it worse, I was fasting, so it especially sucked being awake and feeling the hunger grow as the hours passed by.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
Your REM cycle is 4 hours.... 0_o Don't think this odd but uhhh can I has your brain for awhile? I need to study it.
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
LOLOLOL
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
LOLOL see, proof that sleep deprivation hinders the thought process. :) I meant at the 4 hour mark a cycle had finished. For me, a complete cycle always ends on an even number. If I get 8 hours of sleep, I feel great. If I get 9 hours of sleep, I feel groggy, sluggish, and cloudy headed all day.

Having a 4 hour REM stage just sounds frightening. Although, I would imagine I would have some phenomenal dreams.
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
Have you guys experienced sleep paralysis? That's some excitement for you! Google it :eek:
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
Say whhhaaaaa?! That sounds terrifying, by name alone. Looking it up now....

Holy ****. That reminds me of the serum (no clue on the name) that bad guys use in movies to paralyze their victims while still having the victims be alert during torture.
[Motorola Droid X2] thelowend:
No but I've seen someone experience lucid dreaming. Its incredible.

Breathe, youve got to have some pretty vivid dreams. But I wonder how you slip into REM so fast?
[Motorola Droid X2] BreatheALittle:
I do have incredibly vivid dreams! I can usually remember all the details, and I've actually woken up with physical reactions from my dreams. For instance, the other day I woke up crying because I was crying in my dream. So weird. Maybe you *should* study my brain, lol. No clue how I slip into REM so fast.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
Guess who is the proud owner of a Gnex :cool:
[Motorola Droid X2] droidzika:
I started getting sleep paralysis when I was 17.. Im 38 now. I thought I was crazy so I never said anything to anyone. It went on for years. I would have about 2-3 episodes per year. About 2 yrs ago I was just looking at stuff online and came across sleep paralysis. I couldnt believe it.the article I found was talking about me. Without going into a long story here...it is, hands down, the scariest thing you'll ever experience. You fall sleep, you wake up shortly after and then you get this sensation that something, the scariest, most evil being in the planet is coming to see you and it's going to do horrific things to you... you are paralyzed and you cant speak/scream..it lasts about 5 secods but it feels like a minute (yeah thats a long ass time).

I've only experienced it once this year... not much you can do about it really.. but if i feel like it's setting in..I take a deep breath and it seems to help, thats what the article I was reading said to do. Also, bout 5 years ago I was diagnosed with sleep apnea..I thought THAT's IT..this is why I been getting Sleep Paralysis ..nope...sleep apnea has nothing to do with it.

I would not wish it on my worse enemy :eek:

Damn. I thought I had sleep problems, as I can never get a solid night of sleep. I sleep a few hours, wake up, will be awake for a few hours, go back to sleep for a couples hours, etc. Never fully feel rested. But that's nothing compared to sleep apnea and sleep paralysis. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with that. I cannot imagine that feeling. It does sound horrific. I'm glad it seldom happens, and that you've found a way to minimize the occurence.

My bride was up for renewal on her contract. So, we got the phone for like $199 and had to pay the upgrade fee of $30. I went ahead and got an Otter Box since they tried to make us feel special by giving us 25% off accessories.

In all the seriousness I can muster I swear this actually DID happen to me. I was between 9-10 and I'm sure I saw the devil. It was this being I knew was "alive" but he didn't move at all. Just showed his teeth and stared at me for what was hours. Then I woke up screaming, went to school and didn't sleep the next night. Its horrendous...you really cannot move yet youre FULLY aware of everything around you -- something should NOT ever happen at even the first level of sleep.

[Motorola Droid X2] LaserChicken:
I've spent the last 4 hours messing with the S3. I'm less than impressed, I'll be happy to sell it as soon as possible. Maybe I'm just picky, but I feel like it should leave my DX2 in the dirt--it's faster, no doubt, but it's no knock out punch.

There is too much hype over the latest and greatest devices. I have no problem keeping my DX2 for another 6 months or so.
