Would be funny, but I still think the OP should get the prize, since he actually beat WP fair and square (even if he removed a security feature). It is actually MS's fault if they didnt lay down the rules to begin with :)

It would be a win-win :)

He gets the phone and the bragging rights (which he already has anyway) and MS/WP gets lots of publicity.

You cant go wrong :)

How much more secure is having a lockscreen that you touch or slide to unlock vs simply having to power on the phone? It's not as though the Windows phone was password or Pin secured.

Indeed, enabling or disabling a security feature is entirely a personal choice.

I dont think anyone is implying that it gave any kind of unfair advantage. As I said before I think he won fair and square.

Be that as it may, security features are there for a reason. You can also choose to leave your car unlocked and the keys in the ignition, but it wouldnt be very wise :) ... but again, it is entirely a personal choice :)

If you are going to mock rednecks, you need to say "Merika" instead of Ammurica.

I have an intelligent retort, but it will end up the same way, but since you asked......

1. You don't know what he has on his phone. It may be sensitive, it may not be.

2. A lot of people don't use a screen lock. Some only use a slide lock. That provides no security, just prevents accidental screen activation. I guess everyone is wrong and you know what is best for them.

3.

Man you must have a bunch of crap on your home screen. Now using your example, IF someone had all of that crap on their home screen and you were sitting beside them on an airplane, you would still be able to see all of that if the phone owner went to use his phone. He would unlock the phone and you could still see all of that info from your 'glance' anyway.

4. Cry foul and sue when your car gets stolen? I can see them crying foul. Because some piece of crap dregg of society takes **** that doesn't belong to him? Yes you cry foul. Sue somebody? Who are you going to sue? That comment was just pure nonsense and stupid.

Why is it always the victim's fault? Why can't it be the fault of the scumbags that commit crimes?

This is about people like you knowing what is best for the rest of the people.

This was an article about a guy in a contest and he won the contest. But he didn't get his prize. You can't see that. You immediately jump on the guy because he doesn't do things the way you think they should be done.

This IS America, and to be a little redneckish, you can tell me how to use my phone when you pry it from my cold, dead, fingers!!! :D

---------- Post added at 01:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 PM ----------

Yes, "Just because I want to" does cut it. We are talking about a cell phone for Christ's sake. We are not talking about National Security. We are not talking about drunk driving. It is a ****ing cell phone. And you want to control the way he uses his cell phone.

Do you know what a lot of people do with cell phones?

They make telephone calls!!!

And how is reporting the facts "biased"? When you see something you don't like, why is it suddenly "biased"? It was a simple article about a contest winner that was supposedly done wrong. I don't see any bias.

[Off-topic] MissionImprobable:
So how is this any different than if I leave my phone screen on normally? It doesn't matter if I have the lockscreen active if sitting and doing something actively on my phone requires me to, get this, have the screen on *dun dun dun* Your argument is just dumb. He disabled the lockscreen temporarily for this contest.

Again, even though the Windows phone had a slide to unlock or similar system active, IT HAD NO PASSWORD. If the store rep had it on, she wouldn't have been able to get to the homescreen as quickly as she did. I don't understand why this is so hard for people to get that neither phone had security measures activated.

From the article: "First, she hit the power button to turn on the screen. Second, she had to swipe away the lock screen. That’s pretty much as fast as it gets on that platform."

Could it be any clearer?

You're joking, right?

Why would someone put their name in their homescreen (unless very vain) lol. Seeing which cities you like and maybe a few email subjects is hardly enough to "steal your identity". It does, of course, depend on what you put on your homescreen, but in general it's not even vaguely like "keeping a car unlocked".

Besides, if you're pressing your power button, chances are you want to unlock the phone anyway, not just stare at the lockscreen all day.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KBizzle:
Not going to quote on the newest codename but I have used calks format all on every ics rom I have flashed. Never had the assert issue. I know that the first cm9 had that issue but I haven't seen it since. May have been lucky, idk. Either way, it seems its different for everyone. I advise, if you have assert failure, start over without calks format all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] *Luke*:
You're getting assert errors because you formatted system prior to flashing. Either you did it manually, or you used calks format all zip file. If you format system, the assert script will fail.

The install directions are exactly the same as the cm9 test builds.

Odin to stock and flash a recovery.

Boot into that recovrery.

Wipe everything, and use the format all.zip

Flash CM7.

Reboot into CM7 recovery.

IMMEDIATELY flash the ROM and gapps. Do NOT wipe anything or format anything beforehand.

After you have flashed the ROM and gapps, do ONLY a factory data reset.

That is it. Do only those steps... do them exactly this way; don't add anything, don't skip anything, dont change the order around. As long as do that, you will have zero problems.

Back up your apps with titanium and restore them without data if you're concerned with getting apps back quickly. I've restored some apps with data using TB although its not recommended. YMMV.

Good luck.

+1 I've tried rescanning the media. It's not looking at the internal SD media.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Does that on external SD for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
Is there a fix for how the external sd is mounted to emmc? Most apps will default to /mnt/sdcard which obviously isn't the true external sd card with these AOSP ROMS( AOKP, CM9, Codename, etc... ). With some apps it's not too much of a hassle since you can just edit where they save, but some apps don't allow you to do this, for instance the stock camera I believe doesn't have this option, or if it does there are other apps out there you can't change from /mnt/sdcard. Is it possible to drop to a command line and remove the /mnt/sdcard and unlink the /sdcard directory/link, then symbolically link the /mnt/emmc as /mnt/sdcard and /sdcard, so everything will save on the external? Or will this break things?

I'm curious how others get around this, or do they just accept the limitation?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] live_in_the_sky06:

Are you saying there is no fix because you've tried symbolically linking and ran into issues, because you read somewhere and know it wont work, or just assuming because you haven't tried it? If no one has tried it I'll give it a go later tonight and see if it works.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
Is there a preferred suggested method for nandroid back up for codename v1.5.6? I need to go back to GB and don't want to lose my current set up.. :/ I read that you can flash the EL26/cwm and run the back up.. but I just wanted to clarify if there is either a better way or if anyone has run a nandroid with the EL26 kernel for the codename v1.5.6 rom.

sj
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agentfazexx:
Do a backup on any CWM recovery...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
Yes, just Odin on EL26 CWM, do a nandroid of your Codename setup, then flash your GB ROM/Backup as you normally would. I'm of the opinion that when going from ICS to any GB ROM or Backup I always odin on EL26 CWM, do my nandroid of CN, then run the EL29 Stock Rooted oneclick, Odin or autoroot on EL26 CWM, then restore GB ROM or Nandroid ... I don't think this is necessary, I'm just brick paranoid :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
I always want to do it the safest way too so I don't mind the Odin to stock any time, it takes like 5 mins. I just wanted to make sure that codename will boot with the EL26/cwm kernel.

The only issue I am concerned about then would be when I restore the codename backup, I would then just flash the FC22 stock kernel after and be good right?

sj
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RubenRybnik:
The phone will boot with EL26 kernel and you can get into CWM, but CN will not boot with that kernel. So yes, if you restored your CN nandroid, you would then flash the AOSP FC22( or whatever version of AOSP ROM ) back on and then all should be well...

I am having the same issue. Love the ROM but it isn't reading the internal storage in the gallery............
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Darth Pooh:

I might need to go back to GB, like CM7. Not sure if that's still glitchy, but I think I'm still getting minor data loss with CN

Did you try a third party app? Quickpic? I noticed on some aokp builds that after I installed Quickpic, opened up and checked for all my pictures, the stock gallery finally loaded them all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
so, I got my nandroid of CNA v1.5.6 backed up with EL26/cwm. As expected, CNA did not boot, so when I restore, I just go into download mode, flash the FC22 stock kernel with odin and Im good. The last question I have is with the yellow triangle, if I flash a stock kernel with odin, will that produce the yellow triangle or not?
