Would doing the opposite make MORE sense to anyone here? (Let anyone send their phone and then have it all done, correctly, for free?)

Passing judgment makes you look stupid. Why dont you catch, kill, and cook your own food rather than pay someone else to do it all for you? Let me guess...You dont have the skill to hunt, nor the weapons to kill, nor the talent to cook. Yet you sit there, and attack this dude for offering a service? Hes not selling the ROM, hes selling the work involved. Who cares if YOU think its so easy that its stealing money? All that matters is whether or not people think its worth THEIR money.

Enough of this ignorant hypocracy.

Id be more concerned about sending my phone to a private stranger that may steal the phone or mess it up. How will ebay protect you from YOU sending him your phone? Youll get your money back due to ITEM NOT RECEIVED case...But hes gone and sold it on craigslist days after receiving it. By the time you get pissy and demand your phone, money, and contacting your cell provider, hes sold it and you cannot do anything about it but call the police and file a report.

Thats your opinion, but I suppose your rich enough to work your job for free.
[Off-topic] Ceed19:
I had 2 sensations. I posted one on craigslist with several roms. ARHD 3.6.13 installed, also ARHD 6.x.x on a disk with it. All the things I had used to unlock it for all carriers, root it, super cid, etc etc.

The phone was new, running at 1.83ghz, 2 oem batteries, otterbox case, new box and accessories, new sim, 2 16gb microsdhc cards, a spare rear cover, and extended anker battery, etc etc

I Sold it for $400.

I had about 35-40 replies to my craigslist ad. approx 10 of those ads were asking about purchasing the phone, the other 25-30 were total strangers asking me how to root their phone, or unlock it, how to install roms and everything else.

I did not offer this service, but was offered numerous times $50-$100 US dollars to do these things to peoples phones. I guess I could have made $600-$1000 in the run of a week if I had of done it.

I however did not want to be responsible for bricking someones device and having to pay for it.

If I would have accepted one of these offers, which I did not solicit, that would in some way make me a crook or a scam artists? Since I would not do it for free that makes me a low down individual? I have bills, I have kids, I could use the money but that's simply not something im confident in doing. Others may be. If I were to do it for free and brick someones device am I allowed to say tough luck, this is free, sorry about your device?

all the information to do almost anything can be obtained for free, I can read how to swap an engine in a car, how to build a satellite, or how to perform open heart surgery all within a few clicks on google. However most people are not going to do any of those things, and are going to pay for someone else to do it. And the people who are going to do it are not going to do it for free and or tell a willing customer to go find the information on google. If your skillset in any particular subject is not worth a monetary value to you but is valuable enough for someone else to pay you to use that skill set that does not make you a crook for not excersizing that skill, nor does it make someone else with that same skill set a crook for allowing someone to pay them. EVERYONE is willing to pay SOMEONE for SOMETHING that SOMEONE ELSE considers easy and worthless and would NEVER pay for.

in my humble opinion

[Off-topic] Skipjacks:
This.

Rooting is easy for the majority of the people who post on XDA because....duh...it's an entire community devoted to rooting.

As easy as this stuff comes to most of us, we probably represent 0.5% of the cell phone users in the world.

Most people in the world would look at a rooting guide like it was written in Chinese.....in a weird dialect.....with bad handwriting.....after being translated from Martian.

Just because it's easy to you doesn't mean it's easy to someone else. Yes, there are step by step guides that a monkey could follow. But you cant' follow an easy guide if you're affraid of it.

If someone wants to pay for that service, good for them. Why should someone who can do a task refuse to let someone else pay them for that task?

If you disagree with that concept, I hope you're a hermit living off the land and not paying anyone to do anything for you. For that matter, I hope you built your Sensation yourself instead of paying the factory workers to put it together for you. I'm sure you're capable of putting the parts together, so those factory workers are basically ripping you off for charging you for it!

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------

And let me put this in other terms that a forum of computer geeks (myself included) can relate to...

There are no less than a million easy to follow guides with simple instructions on how to pick up women.

1) Go up to a woman and say hello.

2) Tell her your name.

3) Smile and compliment her on her eyes. Tell her she is the best looking woman in the room.

4) Profit.

Simple, right?

Now if someone offered a service that said "For $40 we'll go talk to the hot girls for you and guarantee one will like you and go home with you."

Is that guy ripping you off because he's selling a service you can find a free guide for yourself?

Oh wait...they have services like that! They are called dating sites! Matchmaking sites do exactly that! They charge people a fee to meet women. And they make millions.

Why? Because this simple task of going out and meeting women with easy to follow instructions that really are kind of idiot proof....is more intimidating to most guys than alligator wrestling.

Explain to me how that is different than a consenting adult who's scared of breaking his phone paying $40 to have someone else do it for him with a guarantee?

(Thank god I'm married. Writing this post reminded me of how much dating sucked! It also made me remember how happy I am that I paid $60 for that subscription to Match.com)

[Off-topic] Skipjacks:
Okay first off....your screen name is "I steal from bums".

Explain to me why anyone should listen to your opinion of the morality of a transaction between two consenting adults after reading your screen name?

Moving on from that....how do the 4 or 5 rooting jobs that a guy like this gets every few months (I'd be shocked if it's more) ruin anything for anyone else?

How does it affect developers?

And developers are often software techs who get paid for their talents in other ways. Or they are college com sci majors who will get paid for their talents in a few years. Are they wrong for charging for their skills in their day jobs?

And let's talk about how worried you seem to be about the developers getting ripped off. Do you download their ROM's for free? Yes. You do. So aren't you stealing from them directly? (I don't think you are based on basic common sense, but following you 'occupy XDA' logic, that's the conclusion I'd come to)

I repair computers. A reinstallation of windows is super easy. I still charge people to do it for them, and I make a pretty good amount thanks to it. I got a client coming in a few to pick his up. Also another one is waiting for a replacement keyboard. It takes 2 screws and 5 minutes to replace it, but I will now charge the person $100 for a new keyboard and to replace it...well he did spill water on it, and it wouldn't turn on, but nothing that my handy heat gun wouldn't fix. lol

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
Anyone else out there finding that there is no way to save bookmarks in the stock browser? I am using quick controls and it used to be on the first transformer that you could hit the bookmark key and it would bring up a screen asking you to save/rename/etc. but on this current version it just takes you to bookmarks you already had saved. No option to save new ones...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diodato:
You're not the only one. But since the quick access is an experimental feature little attention is given to it.

The only way you can save a bookmark in the current stock browser version, and with quick controls activated, is by retyping the URL, wait till the page starts loading and before the URL bar disappears tap the "star" symbol to save bookmark.

As you have already noticed bringing back the URL bar does not give you the option to save a bookmark - the "star" symbol is replaced with an "X" to cancel the whole URL string. At least this is the only way I have found to save bookmarks ...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Popsiclestand:
Wow how inconvenient! Thanks so much for the tip!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Ok ok what's the ****ing trick to bookmarking a page your on in the stock browser... I admit I've never figured it out.

Only cryptic way I have found is to visit your History and hit the star next to the url... is this really how they want it done or am I missing a faster way that is 10x more logical & quick
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
When a website is open, hit the star on the right side...it will open a drop down panel, allowing you to change the label, and on the bottom line allow you to bookmark it to "home screen"/bookmarks/other folder.

To active a saved bookmark, click on the right most "banner". It will open a page with all your saved bookmarks.

Hey y'all, i'm just asking whether you'd like WebOS running on the desire z. Think about it, the desire z would be AWESOME with webos, and it would be (relatively) easy to compile, since it's got the same processor as the Veer. :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] rirozizo:
webOS is fine...

but i was hoping someone could make a windows mobile ROM... but that's clearly impossible since its not open source...

oh well... but i vote for webOS.... even if its not that good, it would help the developement...

They have a different touch screen, camera's and drivers so I don't think it would be that easy ;p but hey I may be wrong
[G2 and Desire Z General] RJx307:
Not a bad idea. Would be alright to have a play around with.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Yep, that's my understanding as well. The hardware drivers don't exist, so they would have to be made from scratch. A huge amount of work to get what is . . .yes a dead OS onto our phone. So unless the OP or somebody he knows is planning to take this on as a project, this is kind of a pointless post.

Other than that, more variety on ROMs is always a good thing. If you don't want it, don't flash it. So there is no real "downside" to having WebOS ported over.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Will_nonya:
Other than the "because we can" aspects why webOS?

I would much prefer a windows phone Rom...
[G2 and Desire Z General] tonywong:
I'm new to here... but this poll really suit me, as I have currently a Desire Z & a Pre 3! I would love to have webOS on Desire Z but I prefer vertical keyboard. Horizontal keyboard is good but a bit too large for rapid typing.

So my answer is: if I don't have Pre 3, Excellent to have webOS on Desire Z. But since I have one already, it's also a good idea for me to have a Android phone, mostly for apps and games.

[G2 and Desire Z General] tiger2wander:
Let's see that what's we have here? The most problem with porting job is linux kernel and drivers compatible and fully functionals working. We have some working Android kernel 3.x, the most close version compared with official Linux kernel, WebOS is based on Linux kernel also. If developers still interesting on porting it then they can do it a quite easy than the time before kernel 3.x got working.

Hi guys!

I'm getting crazy....I'm using MiniCM7-2.1.9 + nAa kernel v11 on my X8.

But if i try to create ext4 and swap partitions on the SD card....android tell me: "it's possible to remove the SD card" and it won't mount it!

I have created: -1.4 GB partition (FAT32) (Primary)

-0.5 GB partition (EXT4) (Primary)

-70 MB partition (SWAP) (Primary)

Why it won't work? :mad:

How I can fix it?
[XPERIA X8 General] hunff:
Well, since you SD card is 2GB, try FAT instead FAT32. Partition and reboot. I have the same error, but one reboot solves.
[XPERIA X8 General] milenkokg:
Or make partitions on pc...have a lot off free programs for that
[XPERIA X8 General] colmoschin94:
OK,tnx.

I've found another easy way, in CMW>ADVANCED>PARTITION SD CARD.

It seems work without errors, but I have a question, how i can install apps on the ext partition now?

I've in cyanogen Settings:

Application>Allow Application moving (enabled)

Application>Install Location (what should I select? automatic, external or internal?)

Performance>A2SD (ext) Settings> A2SD mode selected (is it correct?)

:confused::confused:

Hi all,

I did not see a thread on this when posting, if there is, it's labelled as something very different...

I've the 2010 Mini and want to buy the 2011 Mini - the one you guys have. It's useful to ask around for problems/happy features about the phone first...

So what do you really like/not like? Your phone is getting upgrade to ICS as well...with decent specs like that you might make the next update, Jellybean too. But how's your phone going?

Thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
If you want to buy xperia mini then go ahead buy it..it's a great device for a price..you are coming from smaller display..so you are not going to have any problem with 3 inch display..display is awesome..so do other things are..keep in mind that some minis were defective so get new stock they are not defective..if you get defective model then go to service center they will fix it..now there are plenty of roms to try..so if you get boar to stock rom then there are plenty of Roms to try..in my opinion you should buy xperia mini....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DanToDeath:
ya the problems that mini had were fixed by the calibration fix Sony brought out promptly. and it's much better than the competition, you know that from your research!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] urra901109:
i don't know whether you realize it or not, the mini comes without the front facing camera.. first i thought it was a standard spec of all 2011 xperias, luckily someone point it to me just before i decided to go with cheaper mini. i use skype a lot. :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
Yeah it is a shame it doesn't have the front camera. The Xperia Ray does, and when ICS comes out for these devices, we can use that face-unlock. The thing is, that is really a gimmick. As fun as it is, as much as we want to show everyone the face-unlock, I don't really need it, though it is cool.

Good point about Skype though. I use it on my laptop but not on my phone. I'm interested in the extra camera etc. on the bigger Xperias but some of them are a bit pricey here and all of them have the same core features e.g. the CPU, GvPU, RAM etc. and I like that about the Mini, a lot of power in a decent 3 inch screen! :)
