Anyone that decide to post their works on xda have to know what is the purposing of the forum...

If anyone don't agree with this way of work, then can choose any of the million of forums in the web.....

I think is very simply...

Regards....

EDIT: And don't forget that a lot of dev's that today have their own forum, had started their job here, and used the forum for their purposing.....

nope, that is a common misconception that a lot of people have about the gpl. as a matter of fact there is nothing in the gpl that restricts people from selling it, the only requirement of the gpl is that the source code has to be released and thats it. there are tons of commercial software out there that contains gpl code.

and for those of you who wants proof here is a link to the official gpl faq:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney
[Off-topic] killer4o:
lol... so ppl who actually pay money are the ones to get the buggiest version of your software? Nice policy :D I'm sure you'd have tons of happy customers ;) I wouldn't have cared the tiniest bit about superhero being donate rom (since there are plenty of fast vanilla roms out there), had it not been a thread in the development section for more than a week?! I mean... I'm ok with ppl selling stuff, I'm not okay with selling it on xda...
[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
That thread wasn't created by ourselves, in VillainROM defense. The decision was actively made not to post till public. I don't know who that user was who mentioned it, but he isn't related to us. I know everyone on the team's xda account, and that's not one of them.

But at the end of the day, we can't stop someone else posting about it.
[Off-topic] killer4o:
Yeah sure, it was pretty obvious that it wasn't posted by you, just like the public thread doesn't seem to be posted by you (by you meaning your team). Still, it's kinda annoying. And although I try to see your point about donators getting somewhat of a bonus for donating, it still seems a little flawed when you try to attribute it to beta testing. Moreover, I am pretty sure most of the people around here would still be happy to participate in the beta test despite the possibility of getting unstable phones. Don't get me wrong, I have great respect for Nathan and team Villain and I respect your decisions, even though I don't approve some of those :) However, I cannot disagree more with the author of the thread who compares the non-donating community to a bunch of crybabies who want to have access to everything off the internet. Isn't it exactly how all those old-school-devs behave when they saw the magic word "kernel" in Feeyo's title? Like a bunch of angry kids wanting a proof (which obviously had to come in the form of the source) of the new "final" kernel? And tell you the truth it never was a problem to get a leaked Super Hero. But on the other hand, it wouldn't be a problem to donate a couple of euro to Nathan for his outstanding work. Only problem I have with that is that when I donate in order to get something I feel like buying it. And I suppose lots of people feel the same way.
[Off-topic] pulser_g2:
Yeah. Nathan was going to write up a proper release for tomorrow, but he's been beaten to it. I think the person who posted it got a warning, which is a bit much maybe, but rules are rules, and while they may not be popular, we abide by them.

I take your point about the beta aspect, but from the feedback i get, people who are donating tend to be after the latest and greatest now. Regardless of stability or testing.

And we try to cater for that, whilst limiting exposure to a potentially incomplete ROM (things get missed sometimes).

As for leaked SuperHero, watch out for leaked builds. I had to ban someone who started trolling for help with his dodgy download of the ROM. it turned out he picked up a 'honeypot' file with an obvious name, which was just an old release with an annoying issue. So nothing against you, but be careful with what you flash, if its not from an official site.

To the kernel issue, I don't know what I think about that. I support the dev in his ROM, and have tried to help him fix a couple of niggles, but I am reliably informed that the alleged oc build is lacking WiFi etc, which may be intended, but there are other theories out there.

Either way, I digress. The difference between buying and donating is often scarce, for example on modaco, where the ad free and plus things are fixed fee subscriptions. I don't believe in recurring payments for anything really, and I suppose that is why I regularly donate to smaller app developers, yet wouldn't dream of buying spotify. I probably spend more than 10th gbp per month on smaller dev donations, but I wouldn't spend it on a subscription for streaming music with a large company. Had it been donation based, I might have, although the donation model doesn't scale to such a business model.

Either way, I think, and am sure good agree, a donation is a form of gesture. I know at VillainROM there is no minimum amount, and literally anything is gratefully accepted. Perhaps this is where micro payments would cone in handy? I'd maybe pay a penny or two to every ROM dev whose ROM I have used. If others joined, maybe that would be the end of the donations model. But would your 5p be seen as a donation? It is an interesting conundrum.

Either way, I have typed far too much on my phone keypad, so I shall stop now.

P
[Off-topic] killer4o:
Sadly those things like if everyone donated 5p never work :( If they were to work if everyone from a developed country donated, say, 10 euro, it could make a huge difference for a small underdeveloped country but... this never works. Still, I think we went way too offtopic now discussing economics and stuff :) still I think most people got their point through :)
[Off-topic] bonesy:
I am a donator for villainrom and proud too!I spent days trying to build a Rom on my Magic so much time that I had a numb arse from sitting in my chair and a headache from trying to build it! I know its hard and time consuming so was happy to donate a few quid that was lying in my paypal,the kitchen alone was enough to donate for IMHO Nathan,pulser,kendong2 carry on with the bloody good work you all do (sorry if I forgot anyone x)

Is there a lite or free equivalent to SwitchPro Widget ??

Thanks

switchPro isn´t a program for pocket pc, is it?
[Desire Themes and Apps] hitman_sam69@hotmail.com:
nope, buy it it's well worth it.

Very nice app the dev is really nice and gets in touch when you ask him questions, apparently he's going to add flash toggle and some extra stuff soon as well. I'm pretty pleased.
[Desire Themes and Apps] hitman_sam69@hotmail.com:
It's an android widget

Is for android...
[Desire Themes and Apps] snowpepsi:
Yes bought this one as it's pretty neat and worth it
[HD2 General] p3eps:
I have an HD2, but many of my friends have iPhones.

When they send me an MMS picture, I get a TINY little picture. I can save it and open it with the Manilla photo viewer - but it still tiny. At least I can zoom in a bit though.

Does everyone experience this? I know the iPhone camera isn't great, but surely it takes pictures in a higher resolution than 40x40 (or whatever dreadful size I get?!)

If I send them a picture, they get it full size.

Any way to fix this?
[HD2 General] willow09:
The problem isnt with the phones, it's o2's MMS service for some idiotic reason they resize the pictures when they are sent from the senders mob so you receive a tiny pic.

You need to do a registry tweek on the HD2 which will allow you to receive MMS pics normal size.

Using a registry editor (I use PHM Registry Editor)go to the below (bold) location and edit the USERAGENT and UAPorfile registries.

HK Local Machine\Software\Jataayu\MMS\SP

UserAgent = HTC_HD2_T8585

UAProfile =//htcmms.com.tw/gen/HTC_HD2_T8585-1.0.xml

Reboot and then send yourself or have someone send you a pic via MMS and it should display full screen.

If your settings are already set to the above then try changing it to the following:

UAProfile = //nds1.nds.nokia.com/uaprof/NN95-1r100.xml

UserAgent = NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
[HD2 General] p3eps:
Thanks for that - I have updated the settings, and will get someone to try sending me a pic.

Its odd though, as I ofter get pics from other people without iPhones and they're usually OK.

Perhaps its just because 90% of the people I know are on O2... and the ones I'm having problems with aren't?
[HD2 General] besca147:
Similar issue.

My son and my mother both have a Samsung Tocco Lite. Whenever I've sent them a picture either via MMS or Bluetooth, or Bluetooth to PC then Bluetooth to their phones, they get a long and thin stretched version of my photo which looks normal on my HD2. Hmmm.
[HD2 General] Fergus278:
There is no need to set the user agent to a nokia n95. o2 already support the HD2 so please use the appropriate user agent.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havocxrush:
The G1 is a loan from a friend, they want me to help fix it.

I get to the final part here in the list of rooting the G1:

10. The Final step is to type

"am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings"

After I do that, in ADB all I get is this sign >. I get no settings menu popup in the phone at all. It stays at the no sim card / emergency calls only screen.

Fixing the phone for a friend - absolutely no way I can obtain a sim to get past this - no sim card at all. Its a fresh downgrade to RC29 to begin the root.

The reboot command works on the phone perfectly. ADB recognizes the device. Permission Denied in ADB when trying to SU.

I need to be able to bypass the activation AND the No Sim / Emergency calls only screen, thats my goal, to root, and install recovery and finally cyanogen.

Do have experience with ADB. Is definitely installed properly. Driveres are definitely in right.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I think there's a newer dreaimg.nbh file available that allows you to skip activation. Do that and install the 1-click-root app and be happy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havocxrush:
Nah I cant find it after tons of looking around. I just need to get that settings screen to pop up. But nothing........
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris6551:
go here it is the best place to root your g1 I use it for everything, it is da bomb

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
That requires adb to be enabled, which I believe it is NOT enabled on a tmobile firmware.

There was another sort of bug in the tmobile firmware... stuff you type might just be run in a console as root. I don't recall if it applies to where you're stuck, but it might... I think it is... try this:

Flip open the keyboard and type this: (don't worry that it doesn't show up on the screen)

<enter>sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db "INSERT INTO system (name, value) VALUES ('device_provisioned', 1);"<enter>reboot<enter>

Where "<enter>" is actually pressing the enter button.

It should reboot at this point and hopefully it will come up to the REGISTRATION screen instead of the NOSIM screen.

Then type:

<enter>am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings<enter>

(again, won't see anything, so just type very carefully...)

If all works as planned, this should pop up the settings program, you can go into network and activate WiFi, press the <back> button a few times to return to the REGISTRATION screen, then you should be able to register (if you want). Or, when you activate the wifi, you could just type in <enter>telnetd<enter> and log in through telnet, root, and be happy.

Note: I believe that you can enable adb using this command:

<enter>setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1<enter>

** if you do this, then you can do the other two commands I showed you over adb rather than blind.

That isn't going to work for him since he doesn't have a simcard.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris6551:
oh ok I didnt realize he did not have a sim card, my bad. :o
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninjineer:
Without a SIM card, you're pretty SOL. It has to be in RC29 or RC7 firmware to be able to access the WiFi via that vulnerability, so you'd have to start there. I don't know how far you can get with SIM message, though.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sucka:
Well, just search the development on this forum :P you can do anything even if you don't know how, and my last g1 i had to pass everything like you then root then unlock and done alll of that and now runing flawlesly. Don't be afraid of searching. And p.s. you don't need a sim card for anything after passing the login screen.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] M3PH:
What the title says really. I've finally got Sense to work how i want it too (ie quickly and pretty stable) and i'm looking to change the theme. I have found some themes that will do the job but some of them are compressed.

The rom i have is non operator branded and the version numbers are as follows:

rom: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE (OS version 5.2.21869. What version of 6.5 is this anyway? i.e 6.5.3, 6.5.5 or whatever)

mainla version: 2.5.19211619.0.

I must emphasise that this is a stock(ish) rom and not a cooked one. I have tweaked it a little but it's essentially what the phone shipped with.

Thanks in advance for your comments
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] degake:
Stock ROM's never use CFC compressed files :)

So you'll have to go with CFC uncompressed :p:D

Grtz,

Degake
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] M3PH:
Thanks, man. Good information to have
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] de Wolfe:
CFC stands for "Chainfire Compression" - Chainfire is a user of this forum (you may know him from the 3D drivers etc.); maybe HTC will sometimes pay lots of money to be allowed to use CFC.

[Desire General] Vlad_M:
Basically, do I get the Desire now and install Froyo when it's out, or do I wait for hardware designed to work with Froyo? Is the hardware in the Desire beefy enough?
[Desire General] gianton:
+1 on that, i am on the same situation.
[Desire General] thingr:
The Desire copes well with 2.1, it'll be plenty enough for Froyo. What might be a point to hold off from getting one now is the rather lacking availability in certain parts of the world right now. Plus, the Desire might come down a frew quid in price once the Supersonic and other 4G phones hit the market.
[Desire General] sruon:
2.2 is designed for this current generation so yeah it's beefy enough, only problem is if you get an HTC handset, it will take longer to get 2.2 than a nexus one because HTC has to modify it.
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
If you have no problem with installing "unofficial" updates, you can get the Desire now and xda-developers will bring you the Froyo ;)

If you don't want to do that, then the decision will be a tough one...
[Desire General] Vlad_M:
Yeah, but surely I can install one of the 2.2 ROMs which will be available here?
[Desire General] gianton:
the supersonic (htc evo sprint) looks tempting with the same screen as my hd2, thanks.
[Desire General] tastyweat:
Of course... it just won't be an official release... that bothers some people... but I really like using the more customised roms xda developers release :)

Also... the Desire has a couple of benefits over the Nexus One... better screen (touch wise) + I prefer the hard buttons to the soft buttons on the N1

So sure you'll be waiting a little longer for a rom release... but you'll have a (slightly) nicer phone to use...
[Desire General] foxmeister:
The Supersonic is the HTC Evo, but it and other 4G phones won't affect the price of the Desire because:

a) It is a CDMA device, so it's essentially a US only device.

b) It uses WiMAX for 4G - I don't expect any European cellular operators will use WiMAX for their 4G networks, they will use LTE. As far as I'm aware, the only European WiMAX deployments are for wireless internet solutions.

c) Since you use the term quid, I assume you are in the UK - currently none of the networks have given any firm dates for rolling out 4G networks. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we're looking at 2012+.

Dave
[Desire General] foxmeister:
Erhhhh - as far as I'm aware, the Nexus and the Desire use exactly the same screens.

[Desire General] JustinL01:
The Desire is a new phone and will easily handle Froyo. It's a great phone and I would recommend it 100% now. What's the point of waiting, the hardware is excellent and will remain so for a while. Buy it now and enjoy!
[Desire General] temka:
Couldn't have said it better ;)

+1
[Desire General] Theo1:
Totally agree - great phone don't wait.
[Desire General] tastyweat:
Thicker glass on the desire & improved touch hardware = better screen ;)

Use both and you'll instantly know what I mean...
[Desire General] gogol:
It depends on your CURRENT phone :)

If you can wait, then wait ... if NOT (or has an iPhone) then buy HTC Desire !
[Desire General] Gana1991:
To my knowledge, 4G will not be widely available in Europe until 2011 or 2012.

@Vlad You can hold out till then if you want :p, but it depends on when 4G is gonna be available in your country.
[Desire General] Nuntius:
Apparently, HTC is working to implement 2.2 to every 2010 Android phones
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
I wouldn't exactly say that (adverts only). For example, I could not play www.wimp.com flash based clips on my other flash lite phone, but they play just like youtube on my Desire. So I think it handles alot more than adverts. It is just not able to manage full on flash streaming sites like iPlayer etc. but it plays the news summary clips on bbc and sky news etc perfectly.

[G1 Android Development] frettfreak:
So.. sorry for the non-developer question here but.... Now that the SDK is out.. does that mean we will start seeing the devs pushing out 2.2 roms or is there something else that will still need to happen for this to work?
[G1 Android Development] magpie2000k:
I am no dev but my understanding is that this is just the sdk we need to wait until circa June.

Maybe a dev can be more accurate but I am not sure we have a dump of the Rom yet
[G1 Android Development] Aquilo:
Not yet. As far as I'm aware, the source code for Froyo has not yet been released to the AOSP git (where we can access the Google-maintained source). Until it is released there, all we can do is play with the SDK and develop Froyo-ready applications.
[G1 Android Development] Brut.all:
Devs could try to use SDK images or device dumps to create roms, but this will be "hacking way" until Google will upload Froyo sources.
[G1 Android Development] lethal:
Froyo, already has apps2sd integrated. I just wet myself
[G1 Android Development] callmecooper:
no, we wont start seeing ROMs for release on here until some 2.2 sourse is given to the AOSP(android open source project) which will hopefully not be too much longer.i give it end of first week in june.
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
2.1 has been out for how ever long and they still have not released the correct drivers to us users on G1/MT3G.....(video drivers and such)

I hope they do give the Dev what they need, but why should we expect it when what we still lack on 2.1 has not been released?

I am not even close to being a developer and don't really know what Im talking about, but just my thoughts....
[G1 Android Development] defconoi:
so froyo should work better than eclair on our g1/mt3g's?

Unfortunately its not google that releases those drivers as far as i know. I am pretty positive its up to each device manufacturer.. so we can blame HTC for that one!! :)
[G1 Android Development] Ace42:
There's like a.... .0001% chance of HTC being nice enough to do that though.:(
[G1 Android Development] ubernicholi:
Htc has thme, but is up to qualcomm to release the source code for them. From what I've read over the past few months, htc can't just give them out officially. If they were to leak them, even the compiled drivers, the devs could make 2.0+ roms run much better. But if the source for them was leaked, there would be no stopping the devs
[G1 Android Development] MattKilla:
It's actually Qualcomm's fault, if I'm not mistaken. They make the chips, so they have to write the drivers (or give the instructions to write the drivers) and hand them off to HTC.
[G1 Android Development] JAguirre1231:
Even when the source is released, we will need to wait for a phone with the update GApps to have some of the new features (until then we'll have to use the Eclair GApps).
[G1 Android Development] frettfreak:
Wow.. pretty lame!! I just dont understand why they wont release them. We have needed them for a WHILE now..
[G1 Android Development] kboater:
Im sure you are right, but I would assume that if Google asked HTC, or whoever, that they would make the drivers available. google has a lot of pull
