Okay i looked it up, once you jailbreak you install openiboot which allows iPhones to install Android os.. Kinda like how mac can run windows

Just what i read dunno if it's legit but i suppose that's what my friend meant

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you jailbreak you get Cydia, a store for jailbreak-specific apps.

They don't get the Android Market.

And I'm glad your friend is a solid source on the matter...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
This intrigued me so I looked it up and apparently it is true (if this source can be believed)... http://www.cultofmac.com/68731/you-can-now-install-android-on-your-iphone-entirely-through-cydia/

Hmmmm... I HATE APPLE but if this is true at all it is pretty cool...

See here as well... http://www.androidoniphone.com/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbrian:
So the question now is can we dual boot? That is if this works..

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
I honestly dont think so. IF this is true then the reason this can be done is because Android is "open source". Apple's iOS is NOT open source so there would be all kinds of licensing issues and knowing Apple... they would sue EVERYONE for even THINKING about doing it... LOL...

GOD I HATE APPLE!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
Not possible. Whatsoever. Apple is closed source. Sure a cydia theme can replicate the android market, but that's about the extent.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbrian:
I guess, i thought it was far fetched but one can dream.. Lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
The 2nd link in my post is for a site that guarantees that you will DUAL BOOT iOS and Android. This does not seem to be a theme... They even claim that Flash will work which would be impossible on an iPHONE with just a Cydia theme on it...

Anyone here have an iPHONE and 30 bucks to try this and see what its all about?

So apparently androidoniphone.com is a scam BUT... There IS an open source project by idroid where they have been able to run android naively on the iphone... See here...

http://coburndomain.org/index.php/2011/04/idroid-developers-androidoniphone-com-scam-victim/

And here is a link to the REAL iDroid Project wiki... http://idroidproject.org/

Guess this isnt so far fetched after all...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
iOS is closed source, you'd never be able to make it work on an Android device.

Why would you dream about getting iOS on an Android phone? If you dream about that, go buy an iPhone and leave this forum :D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcW9ueO7TeU

Im sure this is the wrong place for this thread...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That link is Android running on an iPhone. Android is open source, so yes I'm sure that's possible, but that's not what I said...

I said

you'll never run iOS on an Android device

. Because iOS is closed source.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
And I already said that about 5 or 6 posts back if you would have read...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I've read the thread. What I'm saying is you responded to my post with a video that did nothing to refute my point... speaking of reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kbrian:
@martonikaj

If i could run 2 OS with no issues then why wouldn't dream of that if their both good OS?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Hey if that's what you want, go for it, but I bought an Android phone because I didn't want iOS.

The easiest solution for you is to buy an iPhone. Move your SIM back and forth as you see fit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt2053:
GNex sim doesn't fit in an iPhone :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
You can cut your SIM or get a micro SIM, and use an adapter to put into your Mini SIM slot. Not rocket science!

Lol, i don't mind iOS but i like Android better, if i could run both i would try it.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] atv_maniac:
So im interested in getting the droid bionic and using it as an ipod touch alternative...Im not interested in the samsung 4 or 5 player..ive already checked them out.. The main question here is if I got it would I be able to go through all the activations (this will not be used as a phone..only wifi) if not is there ways around that.. Im aware there is a bypass for the activation with the droid logo but not so sure of the sim activation... Or would I be able to root it and disable these activations...thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] iNsAnEmOd:
thats just messed up.. getting a 4glte device and not utilizing it... smh
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Honestly if your looking for a good phone I recommend Motorola, but since your looking for a media device I'd recommend HTC or Samsung. HTC and Samsung make great devices, its just the radios and speaker/mic quality is bad so they are horrible as phones. Motorola makes great phones but due to their locked down nature I stay away if its anything other than a phone. If you decide on HTC steer clear of the t bolt, it has bad build quality.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] atv_maniac:
Thanks for the reply... Do the samsung or htc phones have the sim lock...Im still wondering if theres a way around the sim lock on the bionic too... Is there a thread with information like what im talking about??Thanks..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
You may want to try a 3g device. Droid X2 possibly. They don't have sim cards.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Pixelation:
Hi, my name is get a tablet :)

:) SMILE :) It's Not Illegal Yet :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
Not sure what you mean by SIM lock? I have been using a bionic and RAZR with no SIM just fine (except for the annoying reminder, but if you root it you should be able to figure out how to disable it)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
Yes there is a way around a sim-lock.

Go online and purchased an unlocked GSM phone.

If you absolutely have to own a bionic then get the European Droid razor which is sim-unlocked.

There are many choices available to you just search for "unlocked phones" on amazon, newegg.com, or eBay.

Be advised that they are a bit more than a locked phone.

You'll be able to use them as wifi only without the need of a sim or cellular service, but can always add it later if you so desire.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eraursls1984:
What do you guys mean by sim lock? I haven't seen this yet. I have a replacement bionic that I've been playing with that doesn't have sim, and a RAZR as well. It may be due to the fact that mine don't stay stock for more than 15 minutes, but before I flashed anything I was able to use all the features except phone and text (which could be done over VOIP) the only thing I see is an icon, that's it, the phones aren't locked in any way.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
Sim lock... where do I begin

Let's say you have a phone from at&t, but you want to use your T-Mobile plan with it.

If you remove the at&t sim card and stick in a T-Mobile sim card it will feed you some kind of error, or just not recognize your card preventing you from using your device.

The phone will also prevent you from using certain features until an at&t elm card is inserted.

That is an example of a sim locked phone.

Your phone can be sim unlocked from the carrier or manufacturer via a subsidy/unlock code in order to use sim cards from other carriers.

Or you can always just buy a phone that is already unlocked.

CDMA phones don't use sim cards and need to be flashed to use a different network sim they do not have removable sim cards.

LTE devices on Verizon use LTE for data only. not phone calls. They are still a cdma device.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] poog:
yes there is a way.

Yes there is a way. A very easy way...to bypass activation on the Droid Bionic to just use it as a wifi android device

I do not take credit for this..I got this from the web.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"to bypass the activation on the Droid Bionic launch into safe mode by powering down the device and powering it back up, once the droid eye appears press and hold the volume up and down buttons simutaniously till you see the green android guy, then tap the corners of the screen starting at the top left and going clockwise around. skip the setup and enjoy guys

1) When tapping the top left and top right, do the taps immediately =below= the icon bar, not all the way up in the corners.

2) When tapping the bottom right and bottom left, do the taps immediately =above= the gray emergency dialer/change language bar, not all the way down in the corners.

My thanks to someone-anonymous on Tumblr for step #2 there, and to fnxjames. "

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
Do any of the ICS leaks/releases thus far support USBOTG or USB host mode?

Our phone is supposed to be capable of it, but according to the threads I have read so far it is not working (at least prior to ICS).

The combination of working USB host and running Ubuntu / BackTrack5 would be awesome!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
bumpidy bumpidy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
It worked for a while in international sgs2 but they disabled it for some reason.... E4gt has never had it as it's not in the kernel... Maybe cm9 will have it but they haven't said yet ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RigorousNinja:
i used to do it all of the time on the gingerbread roms but from what i can tell on mine running the FB17 leak, it will work if you pay for through sprint so we may just have to wait for the update to come out an some devs to make a rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
What exactly do you mean that we may have to pay for it through Sprint?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RigorousNinja:
since this is just the leaked stock its the same concept as the stock o/s when you got the phone, sprint wont let you use it without paying for the hotspot plan but when the devs get to work on the official release they change it so the you dont have to pay for USB hotspot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iamtheug:
I believe our ninja friend here had miss understood the question.

Mr Ninja, usbotg/USB host is a utility that allows the ability to use an adapter cable to connect things like a flash drive, USB keyboard/mouse, external hard drives, ect.. This was a feature that Samsung advertised that many of us (including myself) were extremely excited for, only to find out that Samsung/sprint had removed the ability from the Kernal. he waswondering if they had added it back with Ics.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
Exactly!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
was talking to jamcar who was trying to incorporate USB hosting with his DARKSTAR rom. he said that the files are included in ics kernels but there must be some specific drivers for our phone that need to be coded to get it working. he may or may not be working on it but i offered to test for him if he gets something going
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I remember seeing the references to the USB OTG files back in the GB releases, but as most people found out, references doesn't mean the whole setup is working.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
So are we basically at the mercy of Samsung to release the needed drivers then? If anyone is currently developing them, I would be more than happy to test... Although I need to aquire/solder the cable first :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
Just saw that Darkstar v1.0.1 has Usb host listed in the features! Anyone get a chance to give it a go yet?

EDIT: As far as I can tell, references exist but it still isn't working...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImaWinRAR:
yup. i jumped on it as soon as i saw it in the list. its present in the ics kernels, but as for the necessary drivers/etc they are yet to be coded. its nice to see the demand for USB OTG growing. if it was this strong when zedomax was devving for us we might have gotten something (he started on a kernel for Tmo GS2 that supported it)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
Tried Calk's E4GT 2 v1.0 Beta 3 last night, and it doesn't support USBOTG yet.... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rangie:
More bad news, Bluetooth HID doesn't work right in ICS. The menu and back buttons don't work on my mouse and the home button on the keyboard no longer functions.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jasmith86:
No luck with calk 2 v1.1 either
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shadowg8:
Hopefully someone comes out with a ROM that supports OTG. I really miss using my keyboard an mouse, lol.... Also would the HDMI to Mini fail to work as well because of the lack of OTG support?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] omair94:
I heard there is a new build today (fc13). Hopefully that will have otg. If not, maybe in cm9 soon or we beg zedomax to return.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cguerrero:
agree

I wish this subject would get more attention then maybe we could use our expensive devices' full potential.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ggoldfingerd:
Yes, it would be nice to have OTG support. I really would like to use my phone for open accessory development. Guess I will have to use my Xoom for now.

Ok i know that ics 4.0 will some day come out for the xperia play cdma but i wonting to get my bootloader unlocked do you think i need to wait for the cdma ics to come out or get my bootloader unlocked because i dont think i can update to the new ics when it comes out for cdma and keep my bootloader unlocked or do you think i just need to unlock it and wait for a custum ics rom for cdma i was just thinking i need to ask befor i unlock my bootloader next week

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leerpsp:
I do not understand what you just said
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bombasti:
I cant really understand what you are meaning exactly.

what i think you mean is, that you want to unlock your bootloader but you are afraid that you cant update to the official ICS release afterwards, am i right?

as far as i know, unlocking your bootloader does not prevent you from getting the official releases to work on your phone. besides there is always the possibility to flash any firmware using flashtool.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Unlocking via bootloader stops you from updating OTA I believe, while the test point unlock allows OTA updates. The ICS rom likely won't be OTA anyway
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccboy2010:
From Sony's website.

Also, if you unlock the boot loader, you will not be able to download and install the final Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade for Xperia™ phones. For additional information on limitations and warranty, please see our Unlock boot loader service page.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leerpsp:
i can not unlock my bootloader with that page and as for every one asking i was asking will i get the ics os faster if i unlock my bootloader or do you think i dont need it unlocked i will have the money to unlock it the 27th and will get it done a few days later but if every one thinks i need to wait till the ofw of the ics rom comes out?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elspanish88:
surely there will be a FTF file of ICS released so we can just use that with flashtool?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Montague:
When the final version of official sony ics is released, do we need an unlocked bootloader xperia? Or do we just wait for the ota so that this way we dont have to unlock the bootloader

u can flash official FTF files that are signed by sony even with a locked bootloader.

I have been searching and searching for a bluetooth keyboard w/ trackpad to no avail.

Can someone recommend me the best keyboard in your opinion that connects great with the GNex? preferably one that has a trackpad on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cwoggon:
Bump for interest.

Preferably something that doesn't suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I'd be looking for confirmation, but I bet one of the BT keyboards intended for use with the Xoom or GT 10.1 would be good for the Nexus because they have the Android keys in place and are meant to be used with Android. No trackpad, but I don't think you'll find a lot of those...

Also FWIW I hooked up my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and it worked great. Command+Tab works for task switching, and interestingly volume up/down keys, as well as play/pause and forward/back track selection works as well. Kinda cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pandages:
Please excuse the thread necromancy, but I have a good answer to this question:

I found a review of various bluetooth keyboards on Engadget: The Best Bluetooth Keyboard

I ended up getting their top recommendation, the Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 (the cheaper version without the numberpad, which is otherwise identical). I paid $33. It rocks.

I don't agree with their review in a few ways.

1) the build quality is fine. It feels firm but not too firm, and it doesn't seem flimsy at all.

2) backspace isn't hard to reach, it's fine.

3) it's cheaper than they priced it.

Things that don't work: windows key doesn't do anything in android (I wish it performed either "Home" or "Menu"). The mute button doesn't do anything (but volume keys work as intended). F-keys don't do anything either. However, alt-tab works wonderfully.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Yetamedi:
Logitech DiNovo Edge (google that as I cannot post links yet)

I actually use this keyboard with my computer (typing on it this very second) and I love it. Its very flat and has great key feel, not to mention cordless and lasts a couple of months on a single charge.

It meets the requirements of the original poster being a bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad, but I would caution that it is not a cheap one. I have had this one for a few years and I think I paid a couple hundred for it. I am sure cheaper solutions might exist, but he said he wanted the "best."

I'm on ICS now! I just booted into recovery, wiped data and cache, and installed the zip, as simple as that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McSpammer5:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capefearless:
Some ICS builds might require GB bootloaders but teamhacksung's ICS does not.

With that said though, you should probably go ahead and update anyway. There is an Odin one click that isn't any more risky than any other Odin flash. Flash the bootloaders, revert to stock if need be and then you are an the latest bootloaders and don't have to worry about it anymore.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cirjeffrey:
Im planning on buying a tablet for entertainment use as well as school stuff. Right now I'm deciding between the Xoom, the transformer (not the prime, too expensive :/) and MAYBE the iconia a500 but most likely either of the first two. My question is are there any glaring bugs or issues on the Xoom that make it inferior?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandogg:
No. Out of the those three, the Xoom is the best (at least in my humble opinion). The A500 is crap, the Transformer is awesome if you plan on using it as a laptop, but other than that it feels like a toy (though the LCD is very nice). I could have taken my choice of any tablet (this was when the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was new, but already released), and I chose the Xoom.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
+1...the Xoom is still the best of the bunch.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubanluke88:
The OG transformer actually has a better screen than the xoom but other than that it has near identical specs. It also has the potential to dock in the keyboard dock thing so if that's something youre interested in, then it might be a better pick.

The development for the xoom is second to none though so if thats important to you then xoom it is. The Acer....meh.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Overstew:
I have it hooked up to my car stereo that I don't max out with volume. If I max the volume on my phone, after about 3 seconds, my music will stop playing and it'll pause itself.

short answer...., who cares?

long answer.... do we really need to clog up the forum with this dribble? ???

there is a comparison thread for discussion of other devices, oh and a whole forum for the device you wish to discuss.

you make it sound like your next device has to be a group decision. the note is basically a bigger skyrocket with a stylus. what's the big deal?

edit... are you freaking kidding me?????

the mod already closed one thread of yours on this topic so you create another one???

are the forum rules this hard to comprehend???
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
What dani said is exactly right. Who cares? Don't be a follower! You are the one paying for the phone so get what you want. Who cares what everyone else is getting. I just used my upgrade for what i wanted and got a Atrix 2. I use it and my Infuse. Why buy two samsung phones that are similar when you can have two totally different devices? Do what you want, dont worry about everyone else.
