Videocam illusion.

Why wasn't the thread just locked as it contains loads of info for the many, many people that flashed the rom!? This is ridiculous.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] navaskp:
Bring Livewings back!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anilisanil:
Agree completely. This is breach of trust, what happens to all those who flashed their ROM trusting XDA that the info would be there? Deleting is too big a decision, if found violating rules, the that particular post could have been deleted and thread be locked, but deleting the entire thread?:eek::(:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lance Uppercut:
Thanks man. And I second your opinion. The mods need to fix this colossal screw up.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] prodigiez:
sabotage case maybe..

+1 bring back the thread... im stuck with this rom..need the guide and fix in the thread..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anshoo:
+1

Please bring that thread back. Deleting a thread that can affect so many uaers is just plain wrong. Lets not kill the existing development on our device.

Edit

Besides this rom is lovely
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] procoder:
+1..

please bring him back and thread as well...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I very much doubt that the thread can be restored if it is really deleted (and it appears that it is).

If anyone needs clarification as to what/why that happened, you could perhaps ask here:

What did he wrote that insult people? If he insult people from beeing noob then I understand moderator, there are loots of noobs here, some of them might become a dev someday. If you start to insult people from beeing noob, then the interest for xda will collaps.

Hi guys,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lukemo:
Mods you made a great mistake banning LW and above all deleting his thread. Absurd. Please LW keep on with your fantastic job and tell us Please how to follow you in these days. I would like to go on with your roms but we need support thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anshoo:
Agreeed that the mods had to take some action. But deleting the thread and banning the user is no solutiom to a problem at hand. All posts can be deleted instead that exhibit such behavior.

Just saying that there are better steps to take when things go south.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] guru_root:
Livewings U rock ... :-)

Mods wake up !!!! What you did to us is totally unexcaptable.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GhostOfTheNet:
insulting noobs :D

I think the persons who runs this board just see only one side of XDA.

Sure XDA is a place where people develop ROMs. But XDA is also a place where people are learning. So there has to be teachers and scholars.

To me it seems, that Livewings is very young. At this point you(the mods) have a clear educational responsibility concerning the subject ethics. If you like or not, its your job to give him the skills for handling users, because also you(and the other devs here) helped him to earn the skills to build ROMs. Just simple.

(Especially when he is such a good scholar in the technical subjects :D)

Hell, give him a headnut and finish that, so we can continue business as usual.

Regards

Ralph
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jackleung:
I am totally agree with what many others had state here. Banning Livewings is justify if he really did insult others here. But removing threads with useful information is simply wrong and counter productive. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anilisanil:
Isn't it ironical?

Livewings abused noobs so moderators abuse him by banning him and deleting his thread.

So how is that what moderators did to LW is any different from what LW did to noobs?

I think moderators should set an example to others, and in this case they seem to be agreeing with what LW did and if they do, how can they ban him? Paradoxical!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Oliverte:
Indeed, agree with the noob part, everyone need to keep in mind that he's been a noob a day, but people also need to remember that the dev thread is not made to ask questions/ETA/how to/ etc...

This is probably what made Livewings sick ! But it's probably a part of the price to pay when you're doing great job ;)

Hope to see some news soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] gattari:

Appears to me it is about competition and miui..note no other miui threads..noob stuff was an excuse imo..some others even voluntarily shut down their own ics threads...totally weird dev site...never saw such stuff at sgs2 etc. Htc hd2 was by far the best. Ever since ics came out things have gone south imo...to think that lw even fixed graphic glitches call issues etc tgat others still have...also thanks to pvilla and his grg asst from.India..sorry cannott remember their complete usernames for inotiating miui and eybee for smoothening the creases out.

If Livewing banned because he insult a noob, i think it's too much.

Ok for punnish him, but banned and delete thread, it's too much.

Remember everyone be a noob at the start.

(sorry for my bad english)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mac231us:
This was about power struggle imo..the miui originally started by pvilla then taken by livewings solved issues imo that are still issues in other roms..check the 3 or 4 ics threads...folks posting why did u steal this and that then some op saying i did not say so..then anther op having issues with folks using his work...then some threads voluntarily shut down...looks like politics..someone taking the fall and someone running the show..would not be surprised someone deletes my posts (not that i am important-g) or this thread too

Dear livings you ar the best need webspace for your rom and a forum i give you whit a free co.cc add what you want pm me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GhostOfTheNet:
You cannot say the noobs should eat something like that, they are getting frustrated and will not learn something what maybe they would learn well.

Also you cannot expect that younger persons are experienced enough for being able to respect the ethical side of being a dev. So the older need to respect the failures of the youth and help them to evolve.

And here is the problem, your gov and also the mods are not respecting the failures of the youth, so they are punishing without target instead of teach the right. In the worst case that's absolute not effective, in the best LW will learn his lection and evolve but leave this playground because of getting treated unfair.

With both possibilities I do not agree.

EDIT: I would like to read a mod here

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Lance Uppercut:
Can a mod please explain why the thread was deleted? Can it be resurrected? As users if the Rom our phones pretty much live or die based on the information that's there. You have made a terrible error and you need to work to correct it or come out and apologize.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] M3TALLICA:
I am not judging moderator's decision regarding banning the developer as I don't know the incident. But deleting his thread is absurd and childish.

As they say XDA is not democracy, you've to follow the rules. Same applies to moderators, you are not a tyrant, you can't just delete threads like this.

Thread Closed​

Unfortunately i am unable to go into details about individual bans, but i will say nobody gets banned for a small infraction. There is always a very good reason for a user to get banned.

I feel many of the remarks here are very short sighted, as members you do not have access to the reasons behind this decision. We have all of the evidence, it was closely scrutinised, and the moderation team felt this decision was justified. We cant allow the rules to be broken just because one feels they are above the rules whoever they may be.

As Mods we work hard to keep this site running smoothly, working closely with developers to help them do there work. All mods know that its the developers that make XDA. Insulting us is not going to do anybody any favours.

There is a appeal process, if a member feels the decision was to harsh.​
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] grandkirin:
I was planning to flash some different roms and I was wondering if pushing Creed's mms.apk to another rom would work.

yes i love pratyush's work but i just need to try out these newer roms :)
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] hell_lock:
Yes I think it would work. But be sure to create a backup before doing that just in case and not only apps but developers of other roms (dont wanna name them) copy alot of things on Creed's rom. So i think its perfectly safe
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] PG101:
Ofcourse it'll work.. that's the beauty of android and custom roms.. just pull the .apk from the source Rom.. don't extract.. and drag it to the target Rom.zip in the same location as the source..

If there diesnt exist a similar folder then create one..

And... Stop spamming the section with such FAQ sort questions ;)

Hi There,

Just came back from Tokyo Japan today. I noticed that my T-Mobile US SIM with my GNEX GT-I9250 doesn't work in Japan. I checked that Japan uses UMTS=2100MHz, which is covered by the GNEX. Why would roaming not work? Anybody has similar experience? Could it be SIM issue, since I had the same SIM for around 4 or more years now...?

Any input is much appreciated. I will need to get it up & running asap, as I probably will need to take another trip soon...

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well it depends if there is a roaming agreement between T-Mobile and whatever carrier you're trying to use... and there may be issues because the T-Mobile SIM is provisioned to use 1700/2100 AWS, not 2100 specifically. The SIM probably isn't set up to roam properly if I had to guess.

But really, you don't want to roam. The prices are

astronomical

. You saved yourself a lot of money not roaming. Just buy a local SIM/hotspot when you get there, or contact T-Mobile about their international data plans (and ask how they handle the SIM incompatibility).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] best1923:
IF its not TMobile prepaid you got to call TMobile and let them know your leaving the US so they activate the International Roaming.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] foxehkins:
I went to Tokyo last year and I had no issues making called or sending texts. But my raining charges were ridiculous. My gf calling me all the time ran my bill up to $800.00. -_-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Armuro:
Thanks guys for the inputs.

best1923: I am on monthly plan, and did call ahead to T-Mo and let them know I was going to Japan. I recalled they even responded "Have a pleasant trip to Japan." So I doubt it is that. Appreciate nonetheless.

martonikaj and foxehkins: I would buy a local sim too if I do make a lot of local calls. Problem is, I don't. ppl know me by my US number, and I'm there only for short period of time. So doesn't make sense for me to get a local sim. Since foxehkins confirms that roaming does work (@ the expense of $800+), guess I'll find out from T-Mo store if it could be the sim that's causing the issue.

Thanks.

The new ics scroll bars on holo themed apps are lovely, but if you use an app that hasnt been updated its sad to see the old gingerbread scroll bars come back.

[APP] Make Readable Later - Adds "Share Via" functionality for Readability app

This functionality was missing from the Readability app for Android, so I made this free app using the Readability API for easy adding of websites to Readability.

Make Readable Later is a simple app that allows you to add websites to your Readability bookmark queue for reading later. The app authorizes with the Readability service and then provides a Share option in the Browser, Chrome for Android, and other news/RSS apps that implement the share function. This is not a fully-featured Readability client, only a simple app that provides the missing Share functionality for the official Readability app.

[Android Apps and Games] tinyXperia:
Why don't people just use http://readitlaterlist.com/?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideashower.readitlater.free

Or is that completely different?
[Android Apps and Games] d0lph1nK1ng:
that is a competing service. I like how readability cleans up the article better. your choice though
[Android Apps and Games] Killer Donut:
I, too, prefer the way Readability (especially the standard browser-based version) parses & displays articles. It's a shame that the developers missed out on an opportunity to take advantage of the Android platform's strengths. The app doesn't seem to otherwise have been rushed out the door, so it's almost alarming to me that such an obvious omission could have been made, especially given the amount of polish otherwise present in the app.

I don't think I have enough posts to enable the "Thanks" button, so...

Thanks! :)

(Edit: Whoops, there it is... Did this being my first post enable it or did I, like a jerk, actually miss the huge button at the bottom of the post? :o Oh, well, lol...)
[Android Apps and Games] heyjoe66:
I've been using ReadItLater for years and can tell one good reason to use Readability service is that it handles almost any article, while ReadItLater more often will say that it's not an article, but just your imagination

Why is this not an article?

by the way, I believe official Readability app does have Share page function. I can see it in browser's menu right now. Or am I missing something?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigsmitty64:
I've read on here on more than one occasion, that the speaker on our phones can come loose, and removing the back cover and pushing firmly in on the speaker will re-seat it. Give it a shot! Hopefully this helps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keith_Stone:
It's a consistent issue with cappy's. Looking at the back of the phone with the cover off, the screw on the right side of the speaker is frequently over-tightened during assembly by the manufacturer, thus causing the left side to lift and randomly break connection. If you press to re-seat it and continue to have problems, try backing the screw out about a 1/2 turn (counterclockwise) and try again . Just don't back it out too much or you have the same problem. Good luck!

I can't seem to find a good program that will convert the video file, I saw that Dvd Video Soft (which I've been using for years) has a preset for video to Sony for the Xperia Play 4g (mine is a 3g R800x- Verizon)

Try another program

Try this program http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739300

Download it. Exract it. Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone. Run the one click root application from your pc you've just downloaded. The application will install the update.zip...Then your phone will reboot into recovery. Make sure you click "Reinstall Packages" in recovery. Use Volume keys to move up or down...and the power button to make your selection.

It may be because you are on 2.2. Are you able to use your phone? Or did it get bricked? If so i am totally sorry. But i will be more than glad to help you start from scratch.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merio90:
Check to see if you have the super user app installed. If so then you are rooted. Then proceed by downloading rom manager from the android market. Once rom manager is downloaded "allow" any permissions that it is requesting. Then click on install clockwork recovery. Then look for your device once it tells you to. Then you can reboot to recovery from rom manager or by using the 3 button combo.

couldn't install Rom Manager since using 2.1 Eclair (not compatible?)

Tried regular way of installing CWM

why is this happening:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merio90:
I dont think you can flash a recovery CWM from heimdell or odin. Only way i know of is from rom manager. Rom manager should be compatible on 2.1. Are you sure you are rooted. If you don't have the super user app installed well you don't have root access. Super user app shouldve installed automatically once you ran the one click program from earlier. Easiest way to install CWM is from rom manager.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtone:
must be your lucky day.

1. download attachment

2. place it on your SDcard

3. rename the attachment to update.zip

4. get to 2e recovery using 3 button combo

5. re-install package, if it goes back to 2e recovery, re-install packages again

6. you should see the green CWM.

7. flash away?

OK. I am having the same issue. This used to be my phone. Gave it to my mom about 6 months ago. Got her a Sensation XE so she gave it back. It was rooted and running CM7 prior to giving it to her. Flashed it back to Eclair via Odin, updated to Froyo via Keiss than gave it to her.

Went to root via the update.zip process and low and behold got E:signature verification failed. Tried Super One Click - same result.

Odin'd back to 2.1. Can't get Rom Manager on the phone. Not in the market. Downloaded the apk and get a parsing issue. BTW, root via update worked on 2.1. Decided it was a bad flash via Odin so I repeated the whole process just to get stuck back at can't root with 2.2 and can't get access to CWM via 2.1.

Sooooooo...... now what? Never had an issue rooting ANY phone so far.

What gives and help!?
