[General Questions and Answers] Igoritza:
I have searched all over the internet and there is no article that explains exactly WHY and HOW could MS collect Royalities from EVERY single company that putts Google's Operating system into their devices. and not just any amount, but 5-10$ from every sold device!?!

Could someone explain to me why ? How is it that Microsoft is earning billions from something that is not theirs .. ? And as I read in one article - they didnt even pull up the lawsuit, they are just threatening with words, and everyone agrees (HTC, LG, Samsung, EVERYONE!)

WHAT has MS made, that Android copied, and that it belongs into MS's patent claims .. ?

And, what on earth is Google doing about that ?
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
Short answer: the patent system is broken, at least with regards to software. You can patent any stupidly obvious or generic idea ("slide to unlock") and the patent office, which makes money off these, will probably accept it.

(Indeed, there was an accepted 1996 patent on using a laser pointer to play with a cat. Go figure.)

Thus, companies like microsoft spam ideas into the patent office. And the patents are taken seriously enough that many companies would rather settle than take the risk of having their products blocked.

Android didn't necessarily "steal" anything; our patent system doesn't give a crap. See, patents were originally supposed to spread out the technical specifications of an idea, in order to spread the knowhow. The problem is, where it comes to software, the technical specification is so tied in to the idea itself that they're pretty much one and the same. Effectively, you're patenting ideas, and the broken patent system now punishes others for coming up with similar ideas. There's an entire literature on the brokenness, if you google around.

As for google itself, I'm not sure they are doing anything. They bought Motorola, but that might've been to protect themselves. If they have a plan for protecting their OS' manufacturers, it's not very obvious at all.

---

TLDR: HTC, Samsung, etc being punished by a broken protectionist system. The only way around it is really to get rid of the system itself.

Ultimately, the users are the ones who suffer from having to pay the costs of all this litigation, but this is probably more a long-term than a short-term effect. For example, $5 of royalties will probably not make a phone go from $699.99 to $704.99. Rather, the effect is less money going into R&D all around, and more going into lawyers' pockets. So as a user, if a phone costs $650 or $600, that's just how much it costs.. for now.
[General Questions and Answers] Igoritza:
So, basically, this is a Game of US companies and imprinting their legal system on the rest of the world .. ? .. ? Cause, I dont see anyone from the rest of the world getting anything extra .. ? Damn, someone needs to remove that continent from this planet.

But, WHAT is in the core of the Android so that MS gets their share .. ? I understand how HTC Sense may be connected to some of the early WM5 stuff, but what about the rest .. ? they CANT patent almost everything, or do they .. ? And as I figured out, most of the patented stuff is GUI, that is ridiculous!
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
MS don't collect from every android manufacturer, just some. Basically they claim google infringe on their patents and went to manufacturers saying "pay us or we sue you" but afaik no one knows what patents are infringed and I think Barnes and Noble told them to politely get lost so not sure how they fared but it shows not all say yes. Unfortunately ms have good lawyers that seem very persuasive.

[General Questions and Answers] Igoritza:
Just found out everything:

It is true, that few people know what is the actual deal. Google has sucessfully defended themselves from Oracle that claimed several patents, and purchase of Motorola from google is actually a defence mechanism cause Motorolla holds over 17.000 patents (W T F!!!!!) God knows how many Microsoft is holding, and how ridiculous those patents are being that they have much more than Motorola.

No one is considering abandoning Android cause that system actually made their devices popular, but still they all have a problem with MS blackmailing them. HTC made a boom, but they are still a small Taiwanese company that struggles all around (not getting Hanstar IPS pannels cause Apple ordered more, not getting Gorilla cause Apple and samsung ordered more, and so on) .. so the 5$ toll is pretty big number for HTC phones, and they are the ones that are in the biggest problem right now (not talking about smaller players in the game)

Damn you USA and your laws. Pizza is a vegetable, Kinder surprise is banned cause stupid american children would eat the toy. and Microsoft somehow owns Google's Android.
[General Questions and Answers] z33dev33l:
I think the better question is, what has google come up with themselves rather than buying or stealing it?
[General Questions and Answers] Dboy352:
Why would they, if they can just take what everyone else is doing and put it mostly into one system they will never need to come up with any original ideas. Heck look at iOS5 and what they put into it. They added (just to name a few)

1. icloud (in essence a play on windows cloud service with their windows phone devices of cloud storage. the exception is this syncs with other ios devices but a play on microsofts idea)

2. draggable notification bar (android has had this forever now. The difference, on ios you can get a stock ticker and weather instead of just your notifications.)

3. imessage (Blackberry Messenger for ios basically)

4. OTA updates (blackberry and android both used this before apple)

5. wifi syncing (I know windows had this in their windows phone 7 devices not sure of any others that had this feature before kies air in samsung.)

6. Reminders, see reminders by date (a lot of the widgets on android let you do this without even having to open the calendar app)

that's just to name a few and just to show every company does it, even someone as big as apple does it. If you come up with your own that's great but people don't take to it as well as something they have already had. For instance if you had android and apple wants you to come over to apple they are gonna give you the things you love about android most like draggable notifications, wifi hotspot, etc. There is no need for originality anymore. That is just what this world has come to.
[General Questions and Answers] mistermentality:
Why is that the question. Or are you suggesting that android is simply copied and stolen from others work?

Dave
[General Questions and Answers] Igoritza:
What .. ? U serious .. ?

Man, copyright infringement these days is ridiculous, there is NO possible way to make anything "new" if you take that seriously, as it seems that american courts do.

It goes to the extent that almost anything can be patented, so that literally any rectangle shaped phone with TS could be patented by one company and so, baned for the rest. LG/Apple actually tried that (prada/iPhone) even though Eten, HTC (former Qtek) and HP already had PDA's with SIM functions much before that.

Android was developed before iOS (starting in 2005, already co-signed by 86 companies) and released in 2007, so there is no place for ripping off Apple. And, exept for the simultaneous development of iOS and Android which have similarities, I myself as a tech-geek and user of electronics, do not see ANY similarities of ANY android feature with ANY of the MS products and I had the chance to use them all - Windows versions on mobile and desktop machines. in terms of GUI and in terms of understanding how stuff works under the hood.

Im surely not able to understand 30k+ patents that MS holds, but that is not normal, that is more of a world sociology problem, rather than an actual technical one. that is retarded.
[General Questions and Answers] thebobp:
This is exactly on the dot. The way people have been duped into thinking that any sort of resemblance is "stealing" is actually sad.

And, unusually enough for z33, actually related to the topic. This entire ridiculous regime exists precisely because people are so ridiculously overprotective of their own ideas (or the ideas of whichever-team-you're-a-fanboi-of) while rationalizing their own copying of ideas from other people. The fact is, this copying is necessary because innovation does not exist in a vacuum, and yet we still react as stupid little apes when it comes to be our turn.

Well, this is how the system works. It's not about anything true, just what you can prove to be true.

There even exist companies that have the sole purpose of buying patents and using those patents to sue other companies!

In terms of the mobile industry, in case you didn't know, it is currently one of the hottest arenas in terms of patent lawsuits.

Hello, i need help here.

I Just flashed my phone with latest nAa-kernel and use MiniCM7 2.1.9

Overall it's great, since i found no bug, but i like to change my splash screen (not the bootanimation) to the default one.

No, i won't flash using stock kernel, i want to keep the kernel only with stock splash screen.

Here, i have extract nAa-kernel: kernel.sin and loader.sin next i want to extract them so i can geet boot.img but i don't find proper tool to do it.

So it would be great if someone could help me change my splash screen to Sony Ericsson one :)

On the big forum is hard to find something specific. Search does not always produce the desired result.

Therefore, at the request of users, I decided to create a separate topic, which will collect themes for LeWa ROM.

Incidentally, all these themes is a themes for Lewa home - which is a standalone application and can be installed on any firmware.

The latest version of the Lewa home attached.​

Drop them to main directory of SD card and go to Themes > Import​

If you put to the theme directory on SD-card too many themes (~90), you can not change them, there is an error (FC) when trying to enter the "Theme" application.​

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atlantisu21:
Can I do this:

You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this.

I need to back alfa rev Bravo Stock hboot
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beachcomber:
Think you'll need to fastboot flash the AlphaRev downgrade hboot as the newer hboots (CM R2, OxygenR2 etc) are downgrade protected.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
You only need to use the downgrader when you want to return to factory S-ON. Otherwise, leave it alone.

All hboots will brick your device.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thezombiehunter:
hboots are for GSM devices only

if you want to install a custom rom like this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1403113

you need to use cmtd to change your partitions like an hboot will do for a GSM device

follow these instructions:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/23984-guide-to-installing-cmtd/

after rebooting recovery flash the rom followed by the CDMA patch and GAPPS

then flash the boot-cMTD.zip

reboot

hopefully you found one with a patch that actually works

Hi guys as you can guess from the title of your post I have a problem: I'll try to explain it more succinctly and clearly as possible.

I installed on my Galaxy S ICS through the ROM Onecosmic 4.2 and I did run with Semaphore 8. But this morning I tried to underclockar the phone (from 1000 to 800) via the Kernell app. After that, the phone started to reboot loop. So I tried restoring from a backup, but unfortunately I did a restore of a backup when I installed another Kernell (ClockworkMod 3). Now the phone crashed to the startup screen and when I go into recovery virtually almost every action is prohibited. What can I do?

TOUCHSCREEN FIX

Sense only, not for cm7

Remember that I made a GB2.3.3 Gaming ROM cause GB2.3.5 have multitouch issue in games eg. Nova, Sandstorm it's like playing on a keyboard with a broken mouse, whenever you try to look right thumb, while left thumb is still on screen it will look only once then unresponsive.

We'll if your still on m1ndh4x8r roms or other GB2.3.5 roms, and likes to play gameloft games without problems, I have made a fix in the kernel that would remove this problem, and fix two thumbs simultaneous use, and not worry about hitting your enemy while running.

Download

http://www.mediafire.com/?dhznbecb42u2k9d

V2 update

Add IO schedulers

Add Governors

V3 update

Clean and recompiled

No wipe, just flash it.

Also compatible with Gaming ROM

Please hit thanks if it works for you.
[HTC Wildfire S] GSBS:
im using your gaming rom :)

but as same at the m1ndh4x8r, my WFS still freeze at the lock screen, it totally not response. It very hard to unclock the phone. And the same issue when i try to end a call.

the important thing is after unlock, it work normally.

So, i dont know its a hardware problem or because the ROM?

any way to fix that? Thank

Sorry for bad english :p
[HTC Wildfire S] einstein.frat:
For your information it is not related to kernel or rom, it is your digitizer that is broke

search google "wildfire s digitizer".

Also I don't have that problem in any rom or my rom.

better luck next time

OK, everybody it's ready for download. it's final version of fix.

If it was so good, why'd you do it ? Anyway, you just have to flash the kernel back from the ROM you were using...
[HTC Wildfire S] miguelca:
Thanks a lot for this! Flashed this kernel after doing a nandroid backup. With your latest GB2.3.5 stable / premium features rom it works fine, showing a lot more governors and i/o schedulers to choose from.

It seems that with this kernel I need to reduce OC one step. It seems to be more hardware demanding... :confused:

Had to reduce from 806 to 787 MHz in order to complete Antutu latest version benchmark. If I don't reduce OC, Antutu freezes at 7% testing (cpu). :(

Quadrant doesn't freeze phone and doesn't force me to remove battery...

Tomorrow I will test the gaming abilities of this kernel and will post results as soon as I can.

Thanks again for your constant work.

Edit: gave up using this kernel due to cpu instability.
[HTC Wildfire S] (IwaN):
Because of the multitouch in AirHockey game. It's wrote that it fixes it.. but nope.. And after flashing the kernel back all my data was deleted. However I've already reflashed mindhexer's ROM and now I'm ok
[HTC Wildfire S] johnnyspritz:
I tested this, and the multitouch works great, and the overall touchscreen experience is much better. However, this kernel's underclock is higher than my old one (m1ndh4x8r's) and my device freezes randomly. Also, there is a bug where the sound goes to mute and you can't bring the volume back up until the phone lets you do it (15 minutes - half an hour later). Not worth a better score in Fruit Ninja, in my opinion, but if you can fix these bugs it'd be a great replacement kernel :)
