[Motorola Droid Bionic] jethead102:
Please be patient with my noobness, I'm still learning. I recently flashed LiquidSmooth 2.5 to my Bionic, and really really really like the interface; simple and fast. Only a few problems I can't figure out:

1. Play store won't open. I've only found one way to it, by pressing menu while looking at the app drawer, and nothing happens when selected.

2. Home button doesn't work, both the hard button and when I activate the softkeys at the bottom of the screen. Back is the only way to the homescreen.

3. I can't figure out how to have a Google account in the OS.

4. The lockscreen settings have no effect on the phone.

5. The browser won't open, and Chrome claims to be missing some files.

Anyone? Anyone? Beuller? Beuller?

Thanks for your help!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jethead102:
I figured it out, I forgot to flash gapps with it.

Now I'm not able to send any mms, I read on the development forum that a fresh flash solves this problem. Will reflashing the rom without wiping it restore the OS to the stock liquidsmooth, or will it keep my current apps and settings?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] urbanski89:
Why do you need to reflash the ROM? I believe it best to wipe everything to insure a smooth flash. Could be wrong though.

That is ridiculous.. government.. no the constitution has no say anymore.. I'd like to see the jackass who spun words on how this is reasonable. Or that we the people have no reasonable expectation of privacy regarding our phones which very personal matters revolve around.

Says top secret court order! LOL If it was top secret, would not know about it. Duh!!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] SHANENATAS:
Hey I'm all for it if it helps catch "bad guys" and junk. If you're not doing anything illegal who cares. Do what ya gotta do to catch the jerks. I for one am sick and tired of people getting away with junk, it's ultimately costing all of us.
[HTC Droid DNA] bkrodgers:
It's worth noting that there's nothing in the article that indicates that they don't have similar orders in place for other carriers. The Verizon order is the one that leaked, but it would seem that given the breadth of the order, it's probably not VZW specific. The others just haven't been leaked at this point.

I don't personally lose a lot of sleep over this, but I can understand the concern on this. I do think that an order this broad is excessive.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
I'm sure it's not just Verizon

I love the "if you're not doing anything, nothing to worry about" argument. No, I'm not doing anything. And it's because of that fact that no one should be building a database on who I call and for how long and where. People just don't get it... How far will it go? When does it stop? Should every person walking the streets be subject to search at any given time because "we might get a bad guy"

Sorry, but I don't do anything wrong. I'm a simple family man who enjoys sports and tech. And I am bothered by my government spying on me and my fellow citizen for no reason at all.

The article states, the conversations weren't recorded, but that's next. And how would you feel if some computer somewhere is recording you talking dirty to your wife? Or whatever, insert whatever you want there.

This isn't right. And it's scary.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Thank god for whistle blowers/leakers. Without them, we WOULDN'T know about this.

Funny too how Obama is massively cracking down on whistle blowers...
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
So you are ok with say, at any random time, your door being kicked in and your house searched without a warrant? By your logic, someone somewhere is in a house doing bad things, so we should just search every house whenever we want.
[HTC Droid DNA] epicroot:
Apparently there is a rumor of a class action lawsuit against Verizon for compensation as well as contact cancellations Etf free..

Of course it will probably go no where because of the federal wire tap law hu ha bull****.

This Country that we are growing up in and supporting with our taxes cares not about us but soley about is control of the country.

Oddly enough Verizon most likely never put up a fight to this. Verizon license their air waves from the federal government.. as with their lte service and upcoming aws service they are leasing it from the govt. Makes since if you think about it..

Govt. Says if you want the best airwaves from us to Make you the number one provider we expect from you in return to allow us to collect millions of users call data ..

Well that's all I got for now till the govt. Pisses me off again
[HTC Droid DNA] superchaos:
All airwaves are "leased" from the FCC. I deal with radio communications. Fire and law enforcement were pushed onto the 800MHz spectrum about 10 years ago. Now the FCC wants them to move to the 700MHz spectrum so they can lease the 800MHz to cell phone carriers. Tax payers pay for the equipment needed to make this change which isn't cheap.

All the complaints I heard about google snooping on your WiFi are nothing compared to our own government snooping on every spectrum out there.No communication is sacred unless it is face to face.

The extreme would be to go back to basics of a land line so your location couldn't be tracked. And not using any social media sites or forums. How far are you willing to go?

Maybe this all a scheme to get us back to using snail mail. That would boost the USPS revenues! /Sarcasm off

There's a difference between whistleblowers and people who just dump classified info.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
What I find more disturbing is how ok a lot of people are with our constitutional rights being blatantly violated by the government under the guise of they might catch a boogeyman. The point isn't "if I'm not doing anything wrong, I have nothing to worry about, so I don't care". The point is the lower level implications that the government is wiretapping us without a warrant for us individually without just cause. They cannot do that according to the constitution, and there should be impeachment implications over it AFAIC. Same goes for the second amendment. You might not like it, but it is our right - constitutionally - to be able to own firearms. Like I said, I'm troubled by how many people are just ok with our rights be stripped of us. Rights that make us American, that made us the free people we were.

I wonder how much more intrusion, how much more erosion of our rights it is going to take before the American people revolt and tell them to back the eff off. I don't think we are those kinds of people any more sadly. We are not the people with the spine to stand up to big brother to defend our freedoms from an overreaching government. Myself included - I know I don't have that in me. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
That is literally the same thing. Bradley Manning dumped classified info. He is labeled a whistleblower. As far as Obama and his admin are concerned, they are one in the same.
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
The war party started this under Bush with the Patriot Act. U can thank all those who got them in power for what is happening today. Know ur history.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
While true, the Patriot Act was extended by congress and signed by the president that is sitting in office right now. They had a chance to let it die, and didn't. Now it is all on them for what we have today from that Patriot Act POS when they should have let it die out.
[HTC Droid DNA] jbaalson:
The government likes to use the argument that "they (we) are still looking for terrorists." This argument is now void. Seriously, we stopped trying to end terrorism years ago. We cannot possibly still think that our government is still trying to do this. They are constantly getting into our private lives like it is nothing.

Look, I am a soldier in the United States Army, and I do not see myself ever going into some senators house and going through his documents because I can. That is exactly what they are doing to me! I have nothing to hide. Just do not go through my personal life. I guarantee that they would not like it if I went through their personal lives. LEAVE MY VERIZON RECORDS ALONE!
[HTC Droid DNA] MicroMod777:
Just saw on news that this survelance has prevented a major terrorist attacks on US soil, or so they claim.

Guess the Bostom bombers were using MetroPCS! LOL
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
dude, are you serious?

learn the facts, and then speak. you just sound ignorant here.

read what badogg said; it's 100% true. all these politicians are exactly the same, and the most disgusting part of it is people like you who claim "oh bush was the bad guy wah wah wah" but then you think it's perfectly okay when obama does it. absolutely pathetic. the citizens of this country are just as much to blame as the government, since they're the ones who voted these idiots in.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
Wow. Feinstein has totally and completely lost her marbles. Why we in california continue to put her back in office is beyond me. Check out this article on the subject:

Wow. Why does she have to be so snide about people wanting to keep their personal info - personal? What a bee-otch...
[HTC Droid DNA] jayochs:
of course they wouldn't like it, just like they don't feel like being under obamas lovely healthcare plan, so they choose not to.

and many thanks for your services to our country.

[HTC Droid DNA] tommason1968:
This is very interesting, and I have an interesting story. My mom is a 74 yr old die hard republican and from the south, so you can probably guess her views of Obama. My mom is a bit fiesta and had many conversations on the Internet and cell phone about what how she wishes someone would kill him. (no not my views all though I don't care for him) anyways my mom was traveling to maui and upon arriving at the Denver airport she was taken out of line and seriously searched. The same thing happened in Maui on her way home. My view on this is that our country and what it was founded on is being taken from us.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
I'm pretty sure that at any time in history if the government caught wind about anyone wishing the president dead they would get some special treatment. Lol

Oh yeah:
[HTC Droid DNA] jbaalson:
The biggest problem that we have is that we continually elect people into office who are to incompetent to support themselves. I do not care if using our phone records has helped to catch terrorists, after all, drones to the same thing. All I am saying is that the government needs to leave their nasty finger off of my stuff. Congratulations if you (elected officials) make $250,000 a year because you "represent" the fine citizens of America. How about you (elected officials) go off with your outrageous amounts of money and seclude yourself to see how the world really works. I guarantee that you would not like it if we, the people, stole from you.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
Yep. Too many people vote on blind party affiliation alone. WAY too many.

Like my dad taught me - just because you can, doesn't mean you should. That applies to the government, just because you CAN pry in to my private life, doesn't mean you should do it. Sometimes it is just wrong to do something.

I do wonder why this is top secret. Is it to keep the terrorists in the dark, or us the American people?
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:

Well, looking at both sides. What if your wife or child where killed in 9/11 or any type of attack. Would your mind change about this topic?

The government did not do a great job at trying to protect Americans during 9/11. There where many signs that showed the events that where going to take place. But at this point right now! Can we blame the government for trying to protect us at this point?

Phone data records. What do we think they will find with this information? Well it really lead to anything? Well the government act on some one if the person is looking up bombs parts? Or looking bongs to place there weed in. How far will they go?

What do you guys think?

If I lost everyone I knew in 911, I still wouldn't be ok with this.
[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
Well, to me our constitution is something that should be sacred to all Americans given the price that has been paid for it. To try and justify all the rights, or even one of them, to be infringed upon should cause the American citizens to stand up and tell them NO WAY! Otherwise we are no better or free than the rest of the world.
[HTC Droid DNA] rossvtaylor:
This is, normally, WAY more political a conversation than I'd jump into. The erosion of privacy and due process is troublesome. And I say this as a retired LEO who would, you'd think, support investigative intrusion. But the further leak/revelation of the PRISM program, if true, is actually scary and will be the big story for the near future. And, I hope, the impetus of change - as said already in earlier posts, the Constitution and the freedoms described within it and the amendments are too easily forgotten or ignored by far too many...

Okay, off the soapbox and back to phones, ROMs, and all.

This isn't a political forum
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
Please, please tell me this isn't your real opinion on this matter.. I was reading the thread and saw your post and was instantly saddened.

If you keep telling yourself that because you are doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about, that is exactly what they want you to do. Bravo! Keep in mind though, they aren't looking for illegal activity, that's just what they are telling you. This most likely won't bother most of America which disturbs me even more, but what can I do? They have used the Patriot Act for the "War on Drugs" than they have the "War on Terror".

They are keeping tabs on anyone and everyone at all times of the day. Why would they do that? I don't know the answer to that, maybe when the time comes for marshal law, they will know where to find those whom will disobey the order? Hell I have no idea.. But in all honesty, it's no longer about illegal activity. I think they are looking for patterns.. tracking you, your movements, purchases, chats, facebook images, who you associate with profiling your legal law abiding life ... It's all under the dome now.

Please, keep in mind that some of us still have hope that one day, the 4th amendment will mean something again. One day we will be free again, one day America will again be the example of what democracy really is and what it means to its citizens.

Never forget... We once had a right to privacy

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

No of course I would not be okay with that, good point. We can b@#ch and moan all we want, that won't change anything, it may look like it has, but who is really to say.

[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
Actually he was taking a shower and heard the bang. He came out of the shower yelling for his wife "What the ffff was THAT?" and the next thing he knew he had a shotgun to his head and was thrown to the ground and cuffed. His wife was on the floor with a shotty to her head too. In the end after several hours and ordering pizza (seriously) they said "oooh, this was just a big misunderstanding. Have a nice day!" and left. This was after busting down their door, ransacking their house, and almost killing their dog. They never got an explanation or anything. They called and called and just got a huge cluster-f-runaround and so he finally just gave up, fixed his door and moved on.
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Thats one he11 of a story..

I thought so too initially, but I had to help him fix his door. Those battering ram things they use don't mess around. Seriously jacked up his door jam and drywall around the door where the deadbolt is.

Only in America. I'm sure by now I'm on Obamas predator drone target list because of the guns I own. The phone thing really bugs me. And I wonder how many people will cancel their plans without paying a fee because of this whole situation.
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
You're missing the point. If we allow this, where does it stop? By your "I do nothing wrong" argument you shouldn't care that it could happen. At least you know your family is safe right?
[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
It stops when your daughter/son gets his/her legs blown off while watching a race. People say the government doesn't do enough then when they do SOMETHING people get all bent out of shape over nothing. Its not like they are listening to your calls. What they are doing (probably) is tracking calls to known terrorist, then track those calls to everyone involved. THATS the world today its not 1950 anymore.. camera on every corner, drones flying through the air.. these terrorist want to kill us, we need to do what it takes to stop them. I think most would give up a little privacy to feel a little safer. Having a shot gun over the fireplace doesn't get it anymore. I understand your concern, were do you draw the line? I don't have that answer but I know terrorist use cell phones and its a easy way to track them down.

Ah the terrorism boogeyman. Watch out he might get you! Although your more likely to die from a monkey attack than an act of terrorism, but sure, trample our rights for a one in a million chance...

[HTC Droid DNA] badogg:
While true, the statement still applies today. We should never give up our liberty. That is what this country is all about after all. Freedom and Liberty. If we sacrifice that, then who are we any more. That is asking to sacrifice who we are at our very core.

So in the same token as what you said, if things got bad enough, then they might as well shackle all of us and intern us in slave camps to serve our leader, because - well - things have changed.

Bush did do this in office and they did scream bloody murder. Just as Obama is getting the bloody murder screams from the right now. The problem is bigger than that though. The problem is that politicians just can't seem to make decisions simply using logic of "Is this right, or wrong?".

This two party system is destroying this country and everything that it was built on.
[HTC Droid DNA] croppz:
They don't know what is right or wrong. They want to ban guns yet Biden says to go buy a shotgun. Like you said, they can't make up their mind. I have a feeling that if this was a parliament style government there would have already been a call for a re-election.

Just so we are clear, I'm not a bush supporter but I am also a Republican/Conservative whatever you want to call me. Some of the stuff he did was just as bad as what Obama is doing. Both sides keep trying to elect authoritarians.
