Ya I heard this app will also be good, its done and FB approved it, now only google is left :D

should be on the market within the week? its called Bloo now btw
[G1 Apps and Games] Senorkabob:
So why does google need to approve it?
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
Just to make sure it follows its guidelines. There's a few rules, like no explicit stuff, no gateways to other markets (they don't want apps that are alternative Android Markets), obvious malicious code/viruses, etc. It's nothing like Apple's rules, but they're there to protect Google and its users.

Facebook really won't allow you to upload photos through an app? I guess that's the only reason to keep fbook
[G1 Apps and Games] turboyo:
Exactly what I was going to post, good thing I still got Fbook even though this looks better.. I dont get why facebook wont let him but Fbook had it? 2nd vid is up..

I think he just means you can't upload profile pics but to other albums u can
[G1 Apps and Games] MattyMatt5481:
Only 1.49, id buy it
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
I have mixed feelings about this. FBabble, Babbler and Bloo now are some interesting Facebook apps, but they mix or miss functionality. FBabble is just FB chat, but this is missing in Babbler and Bloo. While I understand the limitations of apps, and not making them too bloated, it's cleaving the Facebook experience in half by splitting these two.

Also, while I see Bloo including much more integration with the phone (syncing contacts and calendar events), Babbler includes more functionality of Facebook. Both use the Facebook API, so I know that either focus is possible on both apps. I hate the thought of choosing between the two, but I want only one app for FB. Babbler shows me if I've liked a comment, and viewing a profile seems to include more information. Bloo integrates extremely well into the phone experience, however.

I'd rather not juggle between the two, but I also don't really want to risk an investment into one or the other, in the hope that both will parallely develop the features that they lack and the other has.
[G1 Apps and Games] MattyMatt5481:
anybody know what is new with babbler where theyd wanna charge 1.49 for it? isnt it strange that as soon as the price for bloo is announced that babbler tacks the price onto their software?
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
According to the description for it it is the no ad version. He doesn't have a changelog or anything so I won't buy it, under the assumption that that is all he changed
[G1 Apps and Games] jordanjay29:
The other assumption is you receive updates for it and don't have to mess with ads. I'd rather conserve my phone's battery than wear it out loading ads. I'd probably use up more than $1.49 charging my phone back from all that consumption.
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
Well they are both on 1.0 in the market so it seems like both get updated. As for power consumption it will only need to load ads when the app is running which will require the internet anyways, so the extra power consumption is a non issue. Also with ad free you don't even have to worry about any kind of ads. Now if he stops updating the free app then I guess I have no choice but to buy it. Until then I will save my 1.49 to see if Bloo is better and then make my choice with which dev gets my $
[G1 Apps and Games] avesik:
The paid version of Babbler is the same as the free one, but without ads. They will both be updated at the same time and have the same features.

A *LOT* has changed during the past few days, so I encourage you to check out the free version! Many new features, new UI, more speed - everything's there.

And of course Babbler is being actively developed to iron out any bugs and fill out any missing features (tighter integration with the phone will be there as well, don't worry - btw. you can already share links/youtube/photos/videos via Intents from other apps :)

Detailed changelogs will appear with new versions, but anyway all important news is usually posted on the application page on Facebook!
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
If you read previous posts by the Babbler creator in this thread, the Facebook API does not provide functionality for chat integration. That is why it is not included in Babbler or Bloo
[G1 Apps and Games] MattyMatt5481:
Bloo is up in the marketplace, just loading up now, 1.49 as promised and is looking sweet
[G1 Apps and Games] cidica:
Yeah I just left Babbler for Bloo. While Bloo does not have video upload right now it will come the Bloo interface won me very sleak and well thought out. Nothing against babbler I just honestly think the UI could use alot of work.
[G1 Apps and Games] ce_rob:
i still don't see bloo in the marketplace...am i the only one with this problem?
[G1 Apps and Games] nephron:
I like this app a lot, but when i get a notification of a poke or w/e it takes me to browser which i didnt like at all.
[G1 Apps and Games] Carloswithac:

[G1 Apps and Games] DoCunnin2:
Bloo is going to be the Best Facebook App, ass soon as it develops and takes off. its currently in the market for 1.49. not bad at all for the options.
[G1 Apps and Games] MvP77:
i bought both today, dont know wich 1 to keep. They are easily the best FB apps on the market.
[G1 Apps and Games] MvP77:
I like the way babbler shows the whole feed. By this i mean it shows when my friends took a quiz or what is going on in the apps on facebook. Plus i like the widget.
[G1 Apps and Games] -vip3r-:
what widget?
[G1 Apps and Games] MvP77:
Babbler comes with a widget that shows the feed news.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
I'm back to Babbler. Bloo takes way too long (even on 3G) to load. Should have never left to try the other :)

edit: I like the widget, but is there a way to make it bigger? I dont use a lot of my screens so I have one screen for icons, one for widgets.
[G1 Apps and Games] BSDADON:
yea same here and babbler also has swiping between images and just a single tap to zoom in. much more worth it i think. it may not look as pretty as bloo but at least i dont have to wait forever for it to load. babbler on edge is faster than bloo on wifi sometimes to load the feeds, that blows my mind. i assume it is because babbler has a cache saved to your sdcard that it loads quicker. either way i like it more.
[G1 Apps and Games] MvP77:
Bloo 1.3 Doesnt look to bad, i like the features they are gonna add. Guess i will have 2 FB apps.
[G1 Apps and Games] tekkitan:
Doesn't have the widget though muahahaha. I don't think Bloo's interface is any better than Babbler's. I like Babbler's because everything I need is pretty much on one screen. With Bloo you have to navigate through different sections and it's like a web site, which in my opinion kind of defeats the purpose. Hell, the web page loads faster too :P
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] G8orDroid:
I have a PPC6800 flashed with one of Ryan's Alltel 6.5 ROMS (Great job Ryan!). The phone worked great in my home area after the flash, but I'm currently on vacation and cannot get a EVDO signal in Orlando! I get decent signal for voice in most places, but really just enought to make calls, lots of "can you hear me now" in the conversations. Verizons maps show that they cover this area completely so I went by the Verizon store to see if they could update the phone. The tech guy said that the phone was still really an Alltel phone and there was nothing that he could do. (he was kinda a jerk, didn't appear to even want to help) I use the data connection alot and have become very dependent on it to stay in touch with my office, but with my current 1x connection, email is about all it's good for.

My questions are:

Can I apply the Verizon version of the ROM to the phone without bricking it?

If not, is there something I can do myself to "update" to tap into Verizon's EVDO network?

Thanks for any help.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GeLopez:
you can start by updating your prl *228 option 1 or 2 (dont remember)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] G8orDroid:
Yeah, I tried that, but since I'm already out of my home area, it doesn't work. All I get is "programming unsuccessful" or something like that.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ebonygirl:
Alltel's pda support is pretty good. Call in & get one of them on the line. They will try & make you do the *228 thing. Also check your setting for Home Only/Roam and see if that makes a difference at all.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RyanMogul:
Lol WOW.. If your Carrier is Verizon why the heck would you flash my Alltel ROM?? WTF do you think its an Alltel ROM for?? Its not a stock ROM it is a Custom ROM meant to flash on any TITAN(mogul, ppc6800).. It is fully programmed (besides PST/QPST a user has to program that memory region of the phone themselves) for the Carrier..

What you should have done was take your "Alltel Branded" PPC6800 and flashed the olipro2.40 unlocked bootloader, then flash a Custom Verizon ROM, then flash a gps radio 3.35 and up, then hard reset and pull battery for a couple minutes. Make sure the phone is UNPLUGGED and boot it up. Now access PST and Program it for VERIZON, load your local Verizon PRL, and update the items so phone resets. When it boots back up you want to access DMR (diagnostic mode) and plug it into the computer and Program QPST for VERIZON, make sure everything is set for Verizon you have to do some searching.. Also make sure to do the GPS one tab

last

and write to phone while still in that TAB,

do not leave the GPS one tab until after its completed

. Now unplug the phone and open task manager and close DMR, now

soft reset

the phone. Keep it UNPLUGGED and when it boots up access the internet to set it up for the first time.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] btonetbone:
Ryan, I normally agree with you 100%, but I don't think that's the case here. I'm pretty sure he's an Alltel customer that is confused because of Verizon's recent purchase of Alltel.

Basically, Verizon is not going to be fully taking Alltel phones onto their network...ever. They are still Alltel phones. BUT there are new PRLs out there which will allow you to completely utilize the entire Verizon (and Sprint, too) tower structure.

So what he should do is still with the Alltel ROM. And because Alltel gives the 6800 their 3xxxx series PRLs and not the higher quality 4xxxx series, he needs to donwload the best PRL and update it manually.

Here's a link to a page where you can download the latest PRL 40050. There are instructions on the page to show you how o install. The one change I've had to do is instead of simply ##775, I had to do ##775#.

http://www.the-answerman.com/sidlist/prl/index.asp

Good luck!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RyanMogul:
Thanks for trying to clear things up but its still a little inconclusive. You said he is an Alltel Customer, you also said that Verizon bought Alltel.. Now remember he says he has a "Alltel Branded" TITAN.

If Verizon bought Alltel that means the Carrier Alltel still exists, it wasnt a merger correct?

Ok then, if he has a Alltel TITAN, and he is an Alltel Customer, with my Alltel ROM. Why even mention that VERIZON will not take Alltel phones onto their network??? You said he is an Alltel customer, and he has a Genuine Alltel TITAN, so he would be activating the Genuine Alltel TITAN on Alltel..

I was confused because of all this talk about Verizon maps, verizon store, etc.... I see what you mean about his PRL, so hopefully he updates to the 4xxxx series and his issues vanish. But wow what confusing posts..

Hopefully the Verizon, Alltel purchase doesnt affect my Alltel or Verizon ROMs from working properly. I wouldnt be suprised though..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mfreema:
I think the downloaded PRL should do the trick. I used to work for Alltels data support and they cannot help unless you are on network. If you are roaming on another carriers tower then nothing can be done to manually push a new prl through to the phone. I know from experience that Orlando/Kissimmee area is a tricky area. The issue is that Alltels PRLs are very crappy. There are towers in the area which will not incur you roaming charges, but for whatever reason, the phones will not choose to connect to. I forget the SID of the towers in the area which will get you 3-4 bars of EVDO coverage. What I have done before while I am there is to keep checking your phone to see if it picks up on those towers (it will from time to time). Go and check the current SID number and then set that as your home SID and put the phone in home only mode, which will lock you into those group of towers while you are in that area. Of course, if you leave the area you will want to set your phone back to your normal home SID and take the phone out of home only mode. Hopefully the PRL update via that download link above will help you, but if it doesn't then try this method. I will warn you that if you get the wrong tech on the phone and they try and help you update your phone, then they could make matters worst for you.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] GeLopez:
so, like i said on post #2 update your prl!!! by any means.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] G8orDroid:
LOL, if my post was confusing it's because I'm pretty confused. I went to the Verizon store for several reasons.

I am out of my home area and the nearest Alltel Store is 75 miles away (Tampa,FL).

My Home Store is now a Verizon Store.

I recieved a letter telling me that I was now on the Verizon Network.

When I dial a wrong number I get a Verizon recording.

I heard that Verizon bought Alltel

When I got to the Verizon store, they told me

I was still an Alltel customer

Verizon doesn't carry a phone llike mine (PPC6800)

My phone was a pocket pc phone not a smart phone (yes that's what he said)

There was nothing he could do.

Call Alltel tech Support (he was kind enough to give me their number).

The Alltel guy, though courteous and seemingly genuine in his efforts to help, could not. He even mentioned that he had been in Orlando recently and had the same problem. His only recommendation was to take the battery out overnight so everything would clear and maybe when it reconnected it would update the PRLs.

My apologies for not being more clear.

On a positive note, I took btonetbone's advice and updated the PRL,(this is what I'd hoped the Verizon tech could do) and I am currently getting EVDO connection, at least the status indicator says so. I'm not getting a very good signal where I'm at so the speed is not great. 267 DOWN, 314 UP (oddly enough) on a Speakeasy speed test. I'll see how it works tomorrow when I can get a better signal and know more then.

Thanks to all who have responded, I understand things a little better now.

Had the Alltel ROM not worked so well in my home area that's exactly what I would have done. Well.... It's exactly what I would have done after coming here and finding out how to do it.

Thanks for your hard work...
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] RyanMogul:
No problem I am glad you got it sorted out, those speeds are better than nothing at all so you are getting somewhere. Also I breezed by your compliments on my work but thanks for the compliments.

Even after a soft reset.

But I solved a problem this way, at HKCR I changed the extensions that I wanted opera to open

ftp, htmlfile, http, https, htmlfile, urlfile

I went every one of those to shell\open\command\default

and changed iexplorer.exe to OperaL.exe

I don't know is that the best way to do it, but it seems to work.

Especially GoogleMaps is now usable.

Good Afternoon,

i request your help in a strange problema that i have.

I've recently bought a tmn bluebelt (a branded ZTE N61), which comes with WM6.1 in Portuguese. I use it in many things, such like as reading my email (Gmail) through imap.

For whatever reason i can't imagine, when i'm replying some message, instead of the tipical "RE:" he puts in the subject "REF:".

Well, this regarding responding to mailings lists, as for example, in Gmail breaks completely the message thread association, starting a new tread as the subject is different and doesn´t have the tipical "Re:".

Does anyone knows if this behaviour in WM mail can be changed? I only have the Rom in Portuguese and have serious doubts that there is such a rom in English for this device.

Can anyone help or give ideas ?

Regards,

Edgar Durão

Extracting the RUU_SIGNED.NBH Contents

An .NBH is a signed group of modules or packages; they are typically comprised of .NB files. An .NBH can contain any combination of .NB files. An .NB file is a block of code that can be a Radio ROM, Operating System packages (XIP and IMGFS), Startup Splash Screen (or SPL).

Upon completion of the extraction process, we will be working with is the OS.NB file; it contains the ULDR, XIP, and IMGFS (OEM, SYS). To extract the contents of an .NBH file, copy the .NBH file to the .\BaseROM folder of a new (clean, unused) kitchen.

You will need to extract the Generic Simple Kitchen to two different folders; one folder for the .NBH file currently in use in your current (base) kitchen, and one folder for the new (donor) device .NBH file.

C:\XDA\BASE_NBH_KITCHEN

C:\XDA\DONOR_NBH_KITCHEN

Procedure

The following procedure initiates the ROM Extraction (NBH, IMGFS, and XIP) activity via a script that is included in the Generic Simple Kitchen. You will need to repeat this procedure for each .NBH file. The extraction process can take a significant amount of time to complete.

Copy the RUU_SIGNED.NBH file to the .\BaseROM\ folder.

Navigate to the folder.

Launch RaphaelKitchen.cmd.

Select E, press ENTER.

Select A, press ENTER.

At the Done! message, allow the process to resume – do not close command prompt!

At the Now Start Cooking Your ROM! Press Any Key To Continue message, press ENTER.

Reducing the .PAYLOAD File

At this point, we need to remove the contents of the IMGFS (OEM, SYS) from the .PAYLOAD file in preparation for our changes to the ULDR and XIP. Removing the IMGFS (OEM, SYS) contents from the .PAYLOAD file will reduce the size of the .PAYLOAD file making it easier to work with.

To reduce the .PAYLOAD file, we essentially need to cook a new version of the .PAYLOAD file with an empty IMGFS partition – one which only contains the .VM and .ROM folder contents. For the purposes of this guide, we will use the Ervius Payload Reducer script to perform this process.

You will need to reduce the os.nb.payload for each extracted .NBH file; once for the .NBH contents currently in use in your (base) kitchen, and once for the new (donor) device .NBH file.

Procedure

The following procedure initiates the .PAYLOAD file reduction activity via a script that is included in the Generic Simple Kitchen. The reduced os.nb.payload file will be required when we update the xip.bin file.

Copy the os.nb.payload file from the kitchen .\Temp\ folder to the kitchen .\Tools\ReducePayload\ folder.

Navigate to the .\Tools\ReducePayload\ folder.

Launch reduce_payload.bat.

At the OS.NB.PAYLOAD Successfully Reduced. Press Any Key To Continue ... message, press ENTER.
