[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyamad:
For programming, I have found DroidEdit to be an excellent basic source code editor. Along with Agit to pull in git repos (and one of the github apps), I find the Prime to be pretty excellent for reviewing code.

I don't do much LAMP programming these days, so I don't know, but you can always SSH into some server with ConnectBot.

For interpreters/compilers, there is a compiler for c/c++ (c4droid), and REPLs for Scheme and Ruby. I have installed Terminal IDE, and done some simple stuff with it (grep, etc), but not much beyond that. It seems to be a powerful environment.

I haven't used an iPad extensively, so I can't speak to that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Atlas7:
I think if you want to buy tablet you can wait little more time for buy asus transformer pad infinity! Prime have small problems with software and another things
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Spidey01:
For developing Android apps, use AIDE.

For developing other stuff, use a chroot -- I suggest Debian stable for ease of apt-get install {whatever}. You will need a terminal emulator (I use BTEP) and optionally something like Xvnc.

My tablet is equipped for C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, and Ruby development. I use the same exact tools that I use on my work station, on the development server at work, and on personal netbooks/laptops/desktops. Learning Vi IMproved or EMACS and the unix environment is well worth it, you would have a less "Integrated" experience otherwise without much hacking. I can even cross compile crud to Windows 32-bit/64-bit off my tablet.

But be warned while awesome for running Android, large C/C++ projects can take a good bit of time to compile. This is no twin Xeon quadcore build server.

so kindly if you have any information how i can unblock my account please help me.

thanks in advance,
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueplayer:
thanks lufc, sorry by mistake
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgollner:
I would change to another chat software. They don't deserve your attention!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueplayer:
Maybe i agree with you but i think it is good to find the solution and the procedure which they used to block.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
If they block you then there is no way to get around it. They could be using your device ID to block you so you would need another device and a new email addy to use the service.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueplayer:
thanks zelendel, but there is no way to change the device ID ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not legally no.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueplayer:
and what about illegally way if you can help me ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Simple answer is no. Doing so breaks XDA rules.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueplayer:
aha ok sorry i ddin't know that before. thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SayWhat10:
well i am blocked out of another app where if i can change the ID it will work again

this topic is old but i searched first(like everybody ALWAYS tell people to do) and this was similiar(instead of changning the ID to access skout, i need to change it to access s_______ )

is it really illegal to change the ID on your own phone?

which US law is that breaking?

which XDA rule says you cant change your ID on your phone?

changing ID is 1 of the many things you can do when your phone is rooted

and rooting isnt "illegal" or "banned" on here
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Changing the IMEI is illegal in many countries and In so falls under the don't get us in trouble rule.

Changing the IMEI talks and tuts have always been banned on XDA and always will be.

Does aosp launchers such as trebuchet,apex launcher work on ics roms whit sense ?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
And while were at it not gonna start a new thread but what md5 checksum is ? I sae on a rom thread saying : check md5 before flashing ??
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
1. Yes

2. here
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
I already tried google didn't help much this is why i asked here ..
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
It's not that Google didn't help much it's just that you didn't read what was there. MD5 Checksums can be generated from a source file, kind of like the original rom file before it's uploaded. It's an identifier, a bit for bit one at that, change one little bit of that file, and the md5 will change too.

Before a file is hosted, an MD5 is generated and posted on the web. You then download the file, and run an MD5 check to see if yours matches the one that the author posted. If they match, you're good to go, if they don't, you'd best not flash that file. Sometimes, errors can happen while downloading, and an MD5 is the only way to see those errors. You wouldn't want to flash a broken file, would you?
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
So basically its to know if the file is broken or not right ? Any ideas if i want to flash a rom and i don't know my md5 how to check that up ?
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
For Gods sake. Learn to read. Go and find a md5 checksum checker program for your pc OS that generates an md5 hash and compares it with the given one
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Sorry :/ im not very technology guy just trying to understand how it works and all :/
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
Q&A section is for questions, so no need to apologise because you have every right to be asking how to do this.

All you need to do, is to navigate to this page: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Check.shtml and download the software. Then input then md5 checksum that is given by the rom developer, and open up the rom you downloaded within the md5 checker application. Check for md5 match, if it's good then you're safe to flash :p
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
Kinda hard to believe that you have close to 1500 posts now yet you don't seem to know what an MD5 is. :o

anyways....

Dev will post an MD5 hash

After downloading, use an MD5 hash calculator to calculate the hash of your downloaded file. (Google for one. There's lost of free MD5 Calculators out there)

Compare the hashes that the dev posted and the one you got from the calculator

If they're exactly the same, you can go ahead and flash the ROM or whatever package that is
[HTC Sensation] Jikstah:
Sorry to butt in, but I've never checked an md5 hash of any of the toms I've flashed. And I've flashed a tonne. What's the reason?
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
It just makes sure that the file you downloaded is an exact copy of what the dev uploaded :)

Usually, its the same.. but if it is different, you risk bricking your device! Especially with RUUs.
[HTC Sensation] dexter93:
Always check (and double.. triple..) the md5 when flashing crucial parts of your phone such as: radio, firmware, hboot, recovery etc
[HTC Sensation] RGunturi:
Yes this. If the MD5 checksum is wrong, DO NOT FLASH!!! Re-download the file and try it again. I believe it could potentially brick your phone. The only way to fix a bricked phone is to send it back to the manufacturer!
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Thanks a whole lot buddy ! +1 to you sir
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Well the thing is i came from a very old device xperia x10 such things werent needed at all but thanks anyways for the help +1 to you aswell :)
[HTC Sensation] Solar_:
When the RUU's MD5 isn't the same as the given one (so bad download or what ever), it won't even run. So actually you don't have to check MD5's with RUU's.. But, for firmware packages for instance, it is mandatory because of the chance of bricking your lovely Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
What about just custom roms ?
[HTC Sensation] dgenx210:
If the dev posted a hash, it's probably best to check whatever that file may be. You really won't want to end up with a lovely and expensive brick :p
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
No worries :)

There was an RUU posted not long ago on the development subforum (the first ICS leak from HTC - 3.12), and the hash that was on the uploaded file was incorrect. The RUU did it's job, but phones were bricked. The link was removed and corrected so that the md5 checksum did match. This means that even with RUUs you have to check as they can still install, but may brick your device.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
When you mean brick you mean 100% dead ?
[HTC Sensation] zaki0saad:
Take a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409730&highlight=3+12+ruu+brick, near the start of page 2 of the thread. If you read, you will see that the thread with the corrupt RUU was taken down because people were getting bricked.
[HTC Sensation] V1k70r:
MD5 checksums have been around for a looooong time (1991), you're always supposted to check them. However, if your internet connection is good files will normally get downloaded properly.
[HTC Sensation] shahkam:
Yeah i got a really nice connection no drops or anything downloaded a md5 hash calculator only thing is im scared to flash lol new device i know there isn't any risks if i follow steps by steps but still fearing a brick :$

[HTC Sensation] Rhiannon224:
If you are running ICS, some apps are not yet available for ICS. I have had apps be incompatible with some custom ROMS that wer GB based.
[HTC Sensation] Jwtiyar:
No i have gingerbread, i installed old market and solved
[HTC Sensation] Ace42:
Then it could just be an error w/ the functionality of the new market then. Sounds like it can access certain apps.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] keijames:
Note is the best.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] RipplingHurst:
Tablets are first and foremost about screens. I've had most of them and I can honestly say that the 7.7 is so way out there above others, there's no comparison. The 7.7 in super amoled + is absolute the reason to get a tablet. If I had to sell a person his first tablet, without knowing him, I would take the 7.7 with me. So thin and classy, can't go wrong with it, well, until you really try the note.

When you get the note, you'll see how cool the pen is. A pen with thin tip that is.

The bigger tablets need urgently 1. A pen, 2. Crazy high resolutions.
[Off-topic] invasion2:
OK so my friend and I threw balls on the roof for laughs. We got caught and had to get them down. But with what, you might ask? Well the teachers made us climb up the 3 story roof and push the balls down. It was raining too, so that made it slippery. It was also tilted, and there was nothing to hold onto but the edge of the roof. What I'm asking is, is this legal? Could it be punishable by law or get to the local authorities? Because we could have stayed after school with a

supplied ladder

and get the balls down! This is not hypothetical. I won't do naything with the cops, but I'm just interested. Given the conditions, rain, tilted, and 3 stories high, what did we learn from this? Teamwork of two 14 year old guys pushing each other up a roof? My hands started to bleed when I was done pushing the balls down from holding onto the sharp edge of the roof. And I know I've said this, I just want to reinforce it.

I WILL NOT DO ANYTHING! I AM MERELY INTERESTED!

Thanks for the time xD
[Off-topic] Archer:

[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
It will have hopefully taught you a valuable lesson about maturity... You throw something up on a roof... How do you expect it will get down? Someone will have to go onto it and fetch it...

If you fell, it was your own fault, and I guarantee you would have never dared throw something onto the roof again (after you got out of hospital)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sliment:
So I'm on an att unlimited data plan and on a corporate account so I don't want to change carriers. Also I really don't want to pay $500.00 for a phone. I'm hoping after verizon's 90 days of being exclusive with the nexus other carries will being selling it, but I can't find any info about it. Has anyone heard anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
i only heard of Sprint officially getting the Galaxy Nexus. no att or tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
I was in your same boat. Got tired of waiting to hear if att was going to carry the gnexus so I splurged and bought one :D luckily my s2 and cappy provided me enough funds to cover the cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
Most likely it will be the same case with the Nexus One.. other carriers suppose to pick it up.. but in the end only two will and the rest will pick up something they think is better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well... T-Mobile and AT&T never officially sold the N1 in their stores.

OP, Don't count on it.... just buy it unlocked. you're gonna be waiting so long to have the possibility of it being sold here that it'll be old news by the time it does. There hasn't even been a plausible rumor of it coming to T-Mobile or AT&T in the US since it was launched. Its been months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] what25:
I agree with these posts. AT&T never themselves sold the Nexus One or the Nexus S, so it seems highly unlikely that they will a subsidized Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
Unlikely that we will see AT&T officially carrying the Galaxy Nexus, you're better off getting a Galaxy S2, selling it and then adding a bit of cash on top to get an unlock GNex. It really is a great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
You cant get a carrier any less "Android friendly" than Att.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
note

They do have the galaxy note... I'm on verizon with the gnex and if the note came to verizon I would have seriously considered it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
So many people have AT&T but I never hear anything good about them. I only hear bad things about their call quality, dropped calls and crappy unstable data. So why do people actually stay with them? Just because it is GSM. If you live in the US and don't travel out of country often, what would any other advantage be to stick with a crappy provider?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] audibalso:
a

Agreed, but like the sliment mentioned. He's on an unlimited plan which no longer exists on many carriers. I suspect a lot of folks are "stuck" with att because they don't want to lose their unlimited plan. I'm sure if Verizon still had an unlimited plan that many unlimited att users would jump ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
You only hear bad things cause people only complain when they have problems. When things are good then people just go on with life like nothing is wrong.

Ive had att for 7 years and have great service in cali, new jersey, pennsylvania.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Precisely this. The ones w/ bad experiences will be those who spout off on XDA.

AT&T doesn't universally suck across the country, its extremely region dependent. People just have problem with some of their practices and plans, which makes people say they hate AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayoubi:
What I did is, I bought the samsung galaxy note from amazon for only $250 instead of $300 from ATT without tax. I resold the phone and bought the galaxy nexus from negri.

GL man, i'm growing to like my galaxy nexus more and more, making me not regret keeping the note even though it has LTE and 8 mp pixel. :>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LionAR10:
The technical terms for this only-hear-complaints thing is called "silence on success". Yeah, ATT works fine in most areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephoneguyusa:
I agree completely. I have had AT&T for almost 2 years now and my experience with them has been a 100% better than T-Mobile and Verizon.

With that said my gnexus comes today!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 1Speed:
Like any carrier, AT&T is great in some areas of the country and bad in others. In my hometown in Western Massachusetts, AT&T is a god compared to Verizon. However, down in NJ where I am currently living, it is the opposite.

As for AT&T getting the Galaxy Nexus I doubt it. By the time they get things figured out, a new phone with ICS, that has better specs would have come out. Plus, AT&T has the Galaxy Note, which I know they have been pushing pretty heavily in new england due to the number of commercials I have seen about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
The concept of Nexus (untainted, easily-hacked Android devices) is a foreign one to AT&T. If your heart is set on a Nexus, you'll have to buy it outright. Otherwise, as others have mentioned, the Note looks like a hell of a device.

[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I went to a Sony Mobile "Insider on Tour" event tonight and got the chance to have a look at the S, P, and U.. I also took 2 photo's one with my current arc, and one with the S.. I've stuck them together, side by side and here's the result.. The camera on the S is incredible.

[EDIT : FYI - I took both pictures with default settings.. and the S photo was taken from standby to test the quick shot feature.. it took the photo in under 2 seconds.. easily. The 2 photo's were cropped and I used the left hand side of each to make this image, no post processing on the image quality at all.. just cropped and added the labels.]
[Xperia Arc General] Rashkae:
Interesting. Look at the seat numbers, and the seats at the back... The Arc resolves them, the S does not.

The S may have better shadow noise, but it looks like the Arc has better detail. Of course, for the S, you did not have that bright spotlight in the frame to throw off metering either
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
I think he cropped that out of the S' photo.
[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
Not a fair comparison IMO. Would be a much better one without those light sources.

Anyways, it does seem the picture taken by arc to have more resolved detail.
[Xperia Arc General] ArmorD:
Haha, Arc seems better!
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Could you post some more pics, please?

Snapdragon S3 keeps me away from the new devices, but the camera might change that.
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
I did crop the two photos...just took the left side of each.

The handling of the light sources was what made it such a good comparison..

I only had it in my hand for 2 minutes so only managed to take that photo and Bluetooth it to my arc..

The s handled amazingly well.. And the camera really was very impressive..
[Xperia Arc General] harlz:
I have unfortunately read a review for the Xperia s that states the camera as having the same jpeg compression as the arc s, ray and neo. I truly hope this isn't the case as I was extremely let down but the quality from the arc s camera.

I believe this review might have been posted on Engadget today?

If anyone has some proper hands on experience with some outdoors shots compared to arc s, iPhone 4s and sgs2, please post your findings on which has the better detail and quality, megapixels withstanding.
