First of all, thanks for all the good wishes :) I need to wait until the following week because I live in the frigging butt of the world, but I hope it'll come ASAP. However, I don't think I'll be coming frequently to this forum, just the same as I left the Darky forum when I bought my Play. In order to keep up with the novelties I think it's necessary to keep the device in your hand, just to envision how they will affect you... and geek out about them.

What I'd like to learn now is the internals. So far I've been making guides and stuff which doesn't need more knowledge than that which comes with experience and keeping a structured pattern of thought, but now I want to create my own content, like themes or whole ROMs. Plus, some day I would like to find (or found) a project to make mobile computing, and especially content creation and tweaking, more approachable to women.

There are circa 5 billion mobile phones in the world, and it's probable that they'll surpass the number of human beings in 5-10 years. Plus, it's not just a thing of geeks in the Western World: mobile phones have millions of uses in places where nothing else could be available. I recommend you the blog (Communities Dominate Brands), twitter feed (@tomiahonen) and books of the mobile analyst Tomi Ahonen, to give you ideas on how mobile phones have changed our world, and how they could still change it.

Knowing that, I don't think it's much guesswork to think that operating and maintaining a mobile phone will be a mandatory skill wherever you are, even in places where being able to read and write is not. And therefore, content creation and tweaking your phone is empowering, in the same way of writing literature. However, so far, creating content for the guts of phones and tweaking them has only been a realm of males with few exceptions, just like literature (and most arts) was dominated by men until the 20th century. Once women were empowered to write literature freely, we discovered a whole new world of possibilties, ideas and conceptions. I think that giving (more) women the possibility to develop their own content and deploy their own visions will improve our mobile phones similarly.

So, I think initiatives should be undertaken in order to do that. And one of them will be mine, once I get to figure out what's the best idea.

Wait, are you a woman? Your username (or at least how I pronounced it in my head) lead me to believe otherwise.

I do agree with you. We could use a woman's touch in the dev department.

Roms tailored for women by women would be a big hit. Maybe I could actually convince my sister to try something other than stock on her cappy :P

Edit: NVM after a quick google search of your username I realised you're a guy.

I'm not a woman (you can check any of my social profiles to see my real name and stuff), but I'm a staunch feminist. It should take a shorter time to integrate women in the craft of mobile content creation than it took for them to be empowered enough to write books, paint or create art on their own. This field doesn't need a woman's touch, it needs women grabbing it by its balls, like Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley,Virginia Woolf or Françoise Segan did in literature.

[Xperia Play General] captain67:
When I see comments like that in a technical forum, my first thought is that the guy spends his time here because he's a misogynistic pig who can't get a girlfriend, and has nothing better to do with his time.

Guys who say **** like that are the ones who can't get laid unless they pay for a hooker! Don't even bother trying to argue cause you know it's true. Either that or you pick up a drunk slut at a bar and pick up some bonus herpes as well.

Women should be in the kitchen you say. That's hilarious since the restaurant industry is run primarily by MALE chefs. Aside from the fact that women can use sex appeal to get their way, and often have a higher earning potential than their husbands. Women also usually handle stressful environments better.

If you're better than they are, explain why you're the one who spends most of your life trying to please them and get in their pants, not the other way around.

Don't bother trying to argue with me, you know it's true.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] adsada arc:
I'm really enjoy the Xperia S, but one problem I have is that the camera seems to easily go out of focus and then I move it a little and it will focus then unfocus again. using the autofocus button fixes it, but its still annoying have to deal with this.

Sometimes when focusing on a close object then away it can take a while to refocus...

Has anyone else experienced this, or could it be a fault?

Hi all

can i flash kernel over stock rom

let say LeeDroid kernel:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
You can, but not every kernel supports every Rom. So I suggest make a nandroid and flash the kernel . If you face issues then restore nandroid.

I have tried many kernels on stock Rom , and never had issues till now.....
[HTC EVO 3D] lhayati:
Yeah it works fine.

I don't know why you would want to stay with stock, because there are rom's like anryl's which is 99% stock, but with slight speed enhancements.
[General Questions and Answers] Plymouthbiker:
Hi Guys. I've been wondering around the internet looking at information for unlocking sim locked mobile phones and have come across the same typical information. I was wondering if anyone knows the in's and out's of how the operators lock their phones to thier networks so that at least it can answer a few questions which I have not come about.

Now I know that there are various programs out there for nokias that use your IMEI number to generate codes to unlock your mobile phone, but as I'm not a nokia user and have an old HTC Hero, these I guess would not work.

I have also tired and failed to look for software that does the same for smart phones. Code generators etc...

The only solution I can find is to use a website to input my IMEI number, pay a rediculous ammount of cash to get a code to unlock the phone.

Now, obviously these companies can get hold of the information to generate the code to unlock the phone.

1. Do they get this code from a program they use? And if so... would anyone like to share the name of this program with us???

2. Or is it a case that they gain the codes from the operators who lock them in the first place? And thus there is no way of getting the code to unlock the phone? (with out paying)

3. Are there any programs on the net that can decode these codes that are made for Android phones or universal, or apps made to automatically do this via the android market etc...

4. If not, is there anyone who would be able to make one? I've seen one for the samsung Galaxy s2. But would there be a universal one available or someone willing to write apps for the specific phones if that's the case?

5. I've rooted my phone, would using a different rom unlock the phone? Or is this totally seperate from the rom?

I just find it difficult to believe that with all the rooting, making software run on phones they weren't ment to, app building and stuff you clever people do on this site... why does it seem so difficult to do and make something that unlocks the phone to all networks? Is it actually that hard?

6. I'd like more information on why it is so hard if anyone knows?

Thanks everyone for any information and any help you can give me on this matter?

Regards.

You're mixing some stuff up there. That build was done back in December and hasn't been touched since (look at the OP). Secondly, it was uploaded using Multiupload, which means the link is down.

Zeam launcher is by far the best. Speedier/just as speedy as Nova and Apex and is not a memory hog (never seen it top 7-8MB of RAM). Nova is sluggish when you first fire up the application drawer (takes quite a few seconds to load if you have 100+apps), so comparatively, Zeam starts up and stays consistently fast. However, it does not offer many (if any) themes so if you fancy themes I suggest something like Go launcher or ADW Launcher.
