I might need someone in a couple days to test a rom for me not currently available for this device. Im no expert by any means but this aint my first rodeo either. Im building it for my lte right now. I would test this myself for the shift... but my girl doesnt like me playin with her phone :mad:

Ill see if i can talk her into it. If not i might need someone or two. If this builds successfully ill look into building some others from source. Pm me if you want to test in case i need people.

What exactly are you planning? :victory:
[EVO Shift 4G General] youdug:
Hopefully nobody will step on my toes and build them ahead of me but im gonna build pacman tonite and then look into slim bean and possibly a vanilla build since nobody builds vanilla anymore for whatever reason. I built pac for my lte last night even tho jamie has a great build already but i just wanted to try myself. Was gonna pop up with it but i need some testers. Strapped already knew but i dont see anyone on here wasting my time and trying to beat me to the punch. I like the 6 people who still have a speedy lol no drama :thumbup::cool:

The most horrendendous website u visit regulary?

Hand down for me it's XDADEVELOPERS. If you don't have a good ad blocker installed ( i didn't at work today) it's totally unuseable.

Every time you try n resize the screen it reloads the page lol. Totally sucks. And no i won't be forced into buying.their app.

Also on a phone their pages are about the slowest loading on the net.

Yeah well cocaine is also illegal so
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
They're just saying that they paid money for the rights so if you take it to another carrier they are losing money... Greedy bastards. The other day I saw a prepaid gsm carrier that only sold sim cards... they are popular as hell all over the world, but it's the first time I've seen it in the Midwest. The whole thing is just a way for the big 4 to keep prepaid carriers out of the game, cuz all the prepaid phones are like 2 years behind... What if the phone was meant for a Canadian carrier? The first phone I unlocked was a Rogers BlackBerry lol, worked on ATT
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Yup, you're right
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
I don't care about the motives, this has zero to do with copyright. These devices are not original work of the carriers.
[EVO Shift 4G General] bilgerryan:
Very true, but it all comes down to money... With enough of it you can get whatever you want... Just like Apple with their copyright BS. Politicians and lobbyists are easily bought and paid for. It's the sad truth about our nation.

[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
They' re just saying that you cannot Unlock a device from one carrier, and use it on another. Its always been that way, just not with so much BS. It's still legal to Unlock, and Root your device. Although most carriers still frown on it. You just cannot switch it to another Carrier. My guess is they're all planning on offering more PrePaid plans. So they want some way to have better control of the situation. All of this is really BS. Because many places other than in the US, you purchase the device outright. Then you choose your Carrier. No muss, no fuss.

Google+ is catching up to facebook, uh oh... I doubt google+ would be gaining as much ground, in this chart, if it wasn't for google's authentication api, open ID and the fact they consolidated their whole login system for their products.

The most surprising thing in the article is the fact that orkut is listed, since when did anyone ever use orkut? lol. I remember when it first came to beta and I was scrambling for an invite. When I finally got one, I logged in, realized noone was using it and it functioned like a cheap myspace rip-off(if that is even possible) then logged off.

You can 'subscribe' to forums through the app and it will add them to your favorites in the app, but once you switch roms and re-install the app you will have to add them again. I think the only way you can perm. do it is through the full site.

I haven't tested this, but just thinking about it I *think(really just guessing)* I know what the problem is.

When viewing through the full site and you are viewing a category of sub-forums, such as 'HTC EVO Shift 4G' there is no option to subscribe to the category.

When viewing the same thing in the app you can hit menu->subscribe to add the whole category and sub-forums to your favorites..

My guess is that since that option is an option of the app and not the site it doesnt persist doing it that way? Someone test it, I'm too lazy.

There is no forum tools option on this page, or atleast I cannot find it with any skin. But in the app there is an option to subscribe from this page.. and it favorites all of the forums listed... that's what I used to do and why I think it didn't persist.

After many iOS years, I finally jumped earlier today to an android Samsung S3. Initial impressions are outstanding. Got bluetooth paired with my aftermarket Pioneer radio with no problem, and Pandora streams audio flawlessly. However, Pandora on my iPhone would stream the song data (title, artist, etc). Does the android app not have the same functionality? Not sure if it's a function of the app or the phone. The music plays and I can even skip tracks with my steering wheel control. But no song data. :(

If it was successful, you should get an email from them within several minutes with a button to claim the free space.

I just bought a new TF700T and have unlocked the bootloader, and am now trying to root. However, when I start the device by holding down Power and VolumeDown, the bootloader immediately loads the recovery kernel without giving me the opportunity to select fastboot.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Rand Brittain:
I see them, but the device immediately announces that it's taking me to the recovery kernel images.

Or I let go too soon and it boots normally. I haven't found a way to actually be allowed to make the selection yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Rand Brittain:
Having tried something different, even using "adb reboot bootloader" from the command prompt reboots the device to the bootloader, but still gives me no chance to make any selection other than the recovery kernel image.

Okay, solution to the problem found: even though the bootloader tells you that Vol- moves the selection and Vol+ selects it, it's the other way round.

Problem solved.

Then when nexus 4 came and I fired it up it thinking it would be better it sounded identical to the galaxy nexus post upgrade.
