iOS is based on OSX which is based on Unix so technically it has a *nix kernel already
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
well its unix based, but does not use the linux kernel...unix existed long before the linux kernel

if it was using the linux kernel, it would have to comply with the gpl and post source, which is about the last thing apple wants to do

As mentioned on the "ICS update hopefully soon" thread! :D :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jameshmiller:
Other wise none as "Drunk Mode". This was an actual feature starting with CM6. It's official name was "Phone Goggles".

From Cyanogen -

Phone Goggles – CyanogenMod Settings

Phone Goggles? Why couldn’t they just name it Phone Filter or Communication Filter, at least that way no one would have to read the description to figure out what it actually does. This nifty little tweak has more oomph to it then it seems. Also known as “Drunk Mode”, this tweak here is what could save you from making an embarrassing call in an embarrassing condition at an embarrassing hour. Phone Goggles will filter out the numbers you shouldn’t call or text depending on the period you have defined for it to run for. To enable Phone Goggles, navigate to CyanogenMod Settings > Enable Phone Goggles and choose the application you want to filter. If you’re a frequent caller, choose Dialer, or if you’re an impulsive text person, select Messaging. Either way you can use the Default settings or you can choose to use the custom settings and adjust the period when Phone Goggles will run, along with the type of confirmation that would be prompted. In our case, Math problem!

Note that this app will not prevent you from making a call, only make you think twice, or thrice, or, you get the drift.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gtdtm:
Dang, I was waiting to hear what came after thrice...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] litetaker:
Interesting.. But I wanna make my phone smarter! I mean, I don't drink (:gasp:) but I guess it is gonna be cool if the phone can smartly detect u being drunk. One thing that comes to mind is using gps or gyroscope or accelerometer in a clever way to judge ur drunkenness based on your movement... If you are super drunk, you will be super uncoordinated... Of course, custom built sensors with high precision may be able to easily detect your state of lack of coordination better than those in the phone... But we could may be make it happen actually! :D

There are so many awesome things that can be done with the type of sensors in our phone... And all that they are frequently used for makes it seem underused and uninspiring... One awesome use of gyroscopes and accelerometers I have seen is detecting the orientation of the person for panoramic photos (360 Panorama does a great job on iPhone but crap on Android so far) and MS's Photosynth... And then the Google Sky too!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jameshmiller:
Hey. could you hurry it up on the update? I'm heading out of town, and I wanted to install the update you were talking about before I leave.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tacoaru:
I have a problem that is causing me a lot of stress and have been unable to think of and find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Today a friend of mine was looking through my phone and commented at how my internal storage was almost gone. He said that he could free up some space and so I obliged, as he knew his way around phones quite well. He was looking through a folder and commented that there were some .apk files that could be deleted to free up space. Thinking they were files I had gotten from downloads, I said it was OK to delete them. This was my mistake, as I should have asked where exactly these files were. He deletes the files and my internal storage frees up a few dozen megabytes. This is where everything went to hell. As soon as he finished deleting those .apk files applications start force closing one after another. Thinking it was a glitch he shuts down and restarts the phone. Upon restart, I find ALL my applications gone. The icons are gone and when clicking a spot where an application used to be, it says application not found.

My phone is rooted using DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit.

I HAD Titanium Backup (root) installed before this mess started.

I HAD rootexplorer installed as well.

Upon further investigation, my friend told me that he had deleted these .apk files from the phone memory under a data folder. He couldn't get more specific than that. He accessed these files through rootexplorer.

I seriously don't know what to do and am about to cry.

I thought that by reinstalling google play and titanium backup I'd be able to restore these applications but I can't even install the downloaded .apks from the internet. Tried putting it on my SD card and opening it but it doesn't recognize any program to install. I thought of using the Sony Ericsson PC Companion to install the .apks but don't know how my phone will be affected since it's been rooted using DooMLoRD's method.

Someone please help. I'm still a newbie with all of this and don't really know what I'm doing. Searches for similar problems on the internet haven't proven useful at all. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thank you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] DragonClawsAreSharp:
Okay. You need to loose all your data. Take back up of contacts. It should be possible with the stock contacts app. And your msgs if you want.

Then do a factory reset. You will need to download your apps all over again. And if you had taken back up using titanium backup, you will be able to reinstall titanium back up after the factory reset. And you can restore things.

Thanks,

Rick

Your solution worked. Lost some data restoring a Titanium backup a couple days old but it's better than having everything missing. Thanks!

Product Link: http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Defender-Tune-Belt-Thunderbolt/dp/B0056AN7SQ

Here’s a quick run down with photos (arm band).

I was hoping this would fit the EVO LTE with a case and fortunately it does. I initially was just going to use it with my Dizitronic TPU case, but thanks to another xda member, I also ended up ordering the Ventev Case located here: - http://www.amazon.com/Ventev-Edge-Holster-Combo-White/dp/B00846W5XC

For those of you with other cases, you can measure to see how your case compares to the Ventev. The dimensions of the EVO LTE with the Ventev case on it are 141(L) x 76(W) x 14(H) mm and it just fits snugly in the Tune Belt Armband.

The photos pretty much tell the whole story. You can see there are access holes at the bottom of the band that allows you to feed headphones through if you need to. In addition the blue Tune Belt tab is actually a Velcro tab as well that can be used to secure your extra head phone wires. I’ll be using Bluetooth the whole time so I don’t have to worry about it.

You’ll notice the top does not actually “close” or seal. This isn’t an issue if you have any type of case on your EVO as the case grips the inside enough to secure the phone inside. If your EVO is naked, I might be a little concerned with it being able to slide out of the case under certain circumstances.

I’ve included photos with the blue silicone case so you can see it better. I also got a photo in there with the Ventev (white) case. The silicone case does catch the inside of the band a little more due to the grippy nature, but nothing troublesome.

Some of the Amazon reviews mentioned the Velcro getting weak over time and I can see that happening as the Velcro isn’t the “heavier” Velcro that I’ve seen used on other items. Also, I have about 16 inch biceps right now and the band just fits about right. I’m working out now, so I went ahead and ordered the band extender since it’s only about a $1.50 more.

Here's the link to the full resolution gallery of photos: http://imgur.com/a/56D9X#0

Let me know if you have any questions!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lazydazed:
Nice write up, I've been holding off for too long. Should be here Tuesday, running trails is no fun with a monster phone in my hand...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:
Thanks.

Yeah I was too paranoid of something happening without a band or case so I wasn't using it, but now it's great.

I use it with "A HIIT Interval" (High Intensity Interval Training Timer) and it works great. (The timer vibrates the phone as well as an audio beep and I can feel the vibration through the armband)

Decent visibility through the case unless you have a bad angle and there's glare. I should have mentioned, touch screen works fine.

While I haven't had any issues with my Skinomi screen protector and the plastic screen on the armband, they do mention the risk of it sticking.

Just wondering...?

Thanks!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
A little iniciative on your behalf to actually read up on the specs and you'd find that the TouchPad wont be able to support it when released because the resolution is too low. Whether that can be ported remains to be seen. Next time please do a little reading before starting a new thread with a question to whose answer can easily be found
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kl323:
Ummm ok, I did read up on the specs. But I didn't know what the resolution of our TouchPad was. Secondly I thought we can change the resolution by adjusting the DPI? If I'm wrong oh well. Well it doesn't matter anyway.

No need to be so hostile. And yes I did search before hand. And btw, I was even on the kickstart page to read on this issue. I did find a few other donators who wondered the same thing.

Hi all! When will we be seeing a custom recovery on this tab? Condi, whats the progress so far on the custom ICS ROM? Sorry to hear about ur bricked tab. Hope u get it up and running ASAP!
[Sony Tablet S] condi:
Hi xyancompgeek,

For now we can run custom binaries in place of original recovery,

but its temporary - I've runned few with killing recovery process

and replacing /sbin/recovery binary.

You can take a look at here (posted 9th april).

The bad thing is that we cant write it permanently,

and also we cant do nothing with kernel, bootloader.

its being updated with firmware update, kernel+boot+recovery

is included in hidden.img - its our 'blob file'.

Its being written to mmcblk0p4 partition,

and after reboot you will see 'three dots' installing screen,

like in normal firmware flashing.

You can make a test - dd hidden.img to mmcblk0p4

and reboot - voila...

But as long as we can't decrypt/modify that blob files,

we cant develop kernels, custom recoveries etc..

br

condi
[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
Sad (& good) to hear. I suppose the temporary recovery would be fully functional. Is it possible to make a quick switch for a cwm recovery? Im sure you'll figure out a way to make it permenant!

[Sony Tablet S] xyancompgeek:
You must be already knowing about this : http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images . Unless sony is using something more secure to protect their files, that should be the way to extract and edit the img files. I doubt this is the exact solution, but maybe we're looking at something similar? Im not an expert, just one hell of a googler!

I was walking my dog the day after St. Patty's and came across a Droid 2 phone. I called the last 3 people on the recent calls, left messages, and no response. So I figured I'd try to make this a testing/whateva phone.

My question is this....Can I actually use this phone with another carrier? Like Boost, or cricket? and how can I unlock it to do so. I just rooted the phone with no problem, but I would really like to unlock it.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can get it flashed to cricket or google how to flash it yourself if you already have a cricket account.

Also DO NOT upgrade the firmware to .621 aka 2.3.4 or you will lose root forever!

/ is cricket the only possible provider? I've heard in the past sprint or att are possible options, and I've googled for months and still found nothing.

If your Droid 2 is a Global you may get it unlocked to use AT&T. normal Droid 2 lacks a SIM card so only cricket/page one is all you can use outside of Verizon
