What people don't know, is the slingbox uses a $1,000+ video encoder chip in a $179 unit to produce some of the best H-264 streaming video around. What's $30? That's lunch for most people, 2 tickets to the movies, 2 twelve packs of beer, a week of eating McDonalds, 10 useless $3 apps etc. This company is the only company who has delivered an incredible product that nobody else can match. This is the best $29.99 you can invest from the market for hours of fun.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] d1mitrov:
what exactly are you guys complaining about again? for $30 you get to watch your TV on your phone anywhere in the world? not to mention if you look hard enough you can find the app for free....stop crying!

Anyone try this app with the Slingbox Tuner yet? And the only way i would ever pay $30 for this was IF it worked on Google TV.

You're welcome, I hope you got it to work.

By the way, the app works flawlessly but I really hate the interface. No favourites? 4 button number rows?

[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
Dear Developers

Let me start by saying I am not singling any one rom, developer, product, update or person out. I am speaking in a general sense.

We love all your roms. We love the hardwork you do. Some of us may run your rom, and some of us may not. Thats the beauty of these roms and XDA....choices, there are many ways to skin a deer.

We all have our personal preferences, some of us are users and some of us are developers. Some of us may have rooted with toast, some of us may have went the unrevoked route, in the same fashion some of us may have went with the Amon_RA recovery others may have went with Clockworkmod recovery, fake flash or full nand unlock.

The request is to the developers to sign their roms, updates, fixes, etc that way no matter which recovery you are running, they can be flashed, with out having to jump though hoops, flash different recoveries, download apps, or sign them ourself

Some of us are technologically sound enough to handle swapping out recoveries, signing apks, and doing what ever is needed to get the results we are looking for. I would say most of us fit in this category. Some of us however do not fit in this category, we were all new to this game at one point and time and we have learned. The task is simple enough, and you might say well, if they dont know how to do this then they need not be using my rom. While that is a valid argument, its kind of counter productive to the board, and the overall development of the device.

The benefit of signing the files is so they can be universally flashed, This in return stops the posts in development threads asking why they are getting errors when performing certain tasks.

I am not a developer, I am a user, It is your rom, it is your choice, Im able to sign files and do whats needed to flash files that are not signed, so for me it personally doesnt matter, but on behalf of a certain group I ask all developers to at least consider our plea.

Thank you and please keep on rockin' the evo developement
[EVO 4G General] JPRPJBJPJ:

[EVO 4G General] skantman69:
fair request....Now, whether they chose to listen or respond is another.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
Very much indeed. I will continue to use roms signed or not. I chose to write the letter to merely to maybe help those that may be having problems with things. If I'm out of line im really sorry and my intent is to not offend any one

[EVO 4G General] Mast3rpyr0:
This is an honest request. Those posting "Not on my behalf" are part of the "Some of us are technologically sound enough to handle swapping out recoveries, signing apks and what not." This letter is obviously speaking on behalf of the "Some of us are not however." group, regardless of the wording. Although I have never had this problem, if it only takes a little extra time before posting, then i say why not sign them? It would make me feel safer if they were.

Keep your unhelpful comments to yourselves.
[EVO 4G General] |Jason8|:
+1 for the OP.

Signing all the roms so they can be universally flashable would not only be more of a convenience for the users flashing said roms, but it would also keep threads clean of noobs saying "OMG DAMAGED PACKAGE WHAT DO I DO!?"

Sure, it isn't that big of a deal, but being able to pick and download a rom while I'm on the go, then flash that rom without a computer is so damn convenient. Unless it's possible to sign the rom on the phone, this issue definitely tethers users to their computers again.

Besides, we're all about sticking it to Sprint with that extra $10/month, aren't we? I download every rom I get over EvDO. :P
[EVO 4G General] jodhas:
Nice letter OP.

For all you nattering nabobs of negativity, he wrote the letter looking out for Evo users of all levels of expertise. He was also suggesting not demanding it. There is nothing wrong with some semblance of uniformity.

Now, getting all the Cookers to agree to doing it is another thing. If one or two most popular Chefs can start this trend, it is just a matter of couple of weeks before it catches on.
[EVO 4G General] sherman901:

[EVO 4G General] spyngamerman:

[EVO 4G General] davebu:
hmm ive never had to sign apks or roms before, didnt on my hero and havent had to on my evo yet. what cant use unsigned apks/roms?
[EVO 4G General] rquinn19:
I agree as well. Most of the old school guys (myself a member since the ppc 6700) remember what this community used to be about. If the attitude was the way it is now, back then, xda wouldn't be what is now. There are definitely some super newbs on the board, but some kind of regulation wouldn't be too bad as far as guidelines for releasing roms or at the very least how to post them. I've seen way too many posts where people update the roms, but fail to at least update the first posts information on installing different bug fixes.
[EVO 4G General] Koush:
The easier solution here is to just remove signing checks from recoveries when applying zips manually. The signing doesn't verify that a file isn't corrupt, a zip checksum does that. It also doesn't make it any more secure, since the signing private key is... public.

Removing the check from all recoveries (other than when installing via /cache/recovery/command) it makes it easier for all parties involved.
[EVO 4G General] lil2good20:
+1, that needs to be done
[EVO 4G General] justinisyoung:
uhh unless i haven't been checking xda enough, i don't remember any roms being released unsigned. both clockworkmod and amon_ra's recoveries check for signatures, but it's removable in clockwork.

do you mean something more along the lines of theming? as in, you're not sure how to do an adb push or something of that sort?
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
What he said.

10 char
[EVO 4G General] neckface:
By default Koush's recovery is set not to check signature verification.
[EVO 4G General] chumba8:
I agree also at least till one recovery or the other are used I love clockwork but an using the other right now because of the cashe difference once koush is done fixing CR ill go right back best 4$ I ever spent the op has a good point some of us have Google I/O EVO'S and went to the conference (like me) some bought there's the day it came out cuz it was cool some noobies don't even know anything about adp so I see where there coming I don't need if but might save some admin some monitoring too I can't believe how fast the dev work has cone in such a short time keep it up guys!
[EVO 4G General] joeykrim:
+1

the custom recovery we used on the samsung moment, we configured to not require signed .zip files.

checksum is the correct method, md5sum being one checksum method, to check file integrity.

not sure how signing the .zip file ensures integrity when it only adds a key signature to the file? as koush said, usually a public key.

my guess prob a lot of ROM devs are using android dev test keys or stericson's key to sign their ROMs anyway?
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
I can appreciate what the OP is saying, and for the most part I agree, but I think it may be reaching a but further than necessary to come off as if you're speaking for others.

I'm all for the community doing things better, be that signing roms or whatever, but I'm fine simply taking what I can get.
[EVO 4G General] Crackbone:
Sorry, I find this kind of letter to be completely out of order.

It's none of your business what a ROM cooker does. That's their business. This is the same sort of nonsense that started way way back with Android on the G1. Chased alot of good developers out of the community. Caused rifts and competition that got out of hand.

I'm not discouting the request in the OP. I'm saying this crap about speaking for all of us is nonsense. We don't need a repeat of the pre Cynogen days.
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
Quite frankly, I'm surprised anyone is making this request, but then again I'm not.

I know that there may be some people that are not as tech savvy as others and asking a developer to put everything in an update.zip file might be convenient, but you're losing out.

My thinking is, if the end user never really knows how to do anything (using ADB, flashing a recovery, kernel, etc) and always relies on just requesting for an update.zip file for ease of use, then he/she is missing out on the bigger picture.

This community is here to provide choices and options, but along the way, I believe the end user should also learn as to what is going on "behind the scenes" of ROM's, themes, flashing, etc... so that when a new user asks a question, then you're able to contribute with an answer, instead of pointing to an update.zip file. This in return makes you more confident about what you know and hopefully pushes

you

to create something for this community. I'd rather see users become more knowledgeable and add there input/ideas/creativeness into the community rather than having it be "dumb downed" (no offense to anyone) for convenience. There are plenty of people here that have technical backgrounds and that are extremely knowledgeable in a lot of different areas; if there's something you don't know -- asking a question will more than likely get you an answer... but you have you ask.

I've always felt that doing things the long/hard way will allow people to see the bigger picture; thus the reason for the ADB commands, and flashing certain files, etc. I understand some people may not want to do this for whatever reasons and that's there own prerogatives. But I think the community would greatly benefit from people learning from another and contributing from eachother's work.

After all, that's what Open Source is.
[EVO 4G General] zikronix:
I changed some of the wording to reflect that that as a technical user i am speaking for those who are non technical. i would love for that group of people to be able to experience the power of the great developers we have. I dont think it will chase anyone away, I welcome the mods to delete the thread if they feel it is out of line.

@pseudoremora: I definitely agree with your comments.
[EVO 4G General] rquinn19:
pseudoremora I agree, but I think you are missing the point. The signing verifications required by some recoveries and not by others and some roms being signed and others not is the issue.
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
Thanks!

Understandable. My reference to the update.zip files was aimed at the whole "signing" thing, since update.zip have to be signed as well.

Koush had the idea about not verifying packages (via signing) and using MD5 instead, that solution should be looked into.
[EVO 4G General] smw6180:
ignore this. Changed my mind.
[EVO 4G General] monkeefied:
I agree and disagree with your viewpoint. I like the sense that new people should learn something about what they are doin before they do it, but part of the good and bad of the forums is just the absolute abundance of information. Good in that it is there, bad in the sense that it's not too organized and very hard (imho) to find anything specific. I am new to the android scene in the sense that my first android device is the EVO and I got it on launch day. I have not attempted to root my device or modify it in any way yet, because I don't want to sit on the pc for an entire day and read and research forums and google terms that I don't know, and try and figure out what acronyms mean that everyone in that particular forum take for granted. If you look at the top sticky in this forum "popular threads" it has an organized look to it (thanks stericson for getting all that info into one place). But the couple of topics that I have looked into on there jump right into installing ADB and how to root and recoveries and on and on. Well I have no idea what ADB is, or what root method to choose, and I need a recovery? My point is that you guys may be past the point where normal people know what the heck you are talking about, and that may be why you get so many posts about errors and stuff not working right, and noob questions ( to which 90% of the time the person gets told to google it) asking why something isn't working right. The other thing with forums is that old information gets left up, and that info turns up in search results which someone new to the scene doesn't know it's old and that a better way to do it was found 2 months ago (I really hate this). It takes being on a forum and reading every day damn near to really understand what is going on here. I've seen it with ipod touch and when I was attempting to do stuff with my psp. Anyway sorry for the novel, just thought maybe a fresh eye on the scene may give a little insight. Keep up the invation devs!
[EVO 4G General] pseudoremora:
I understand what you're saying... however, I'm reluctant to want to fully agree; here's why:

1. I was once a "noob"

2. I was once new to Android (HTC Hero was my first phone)

3. I was once new to XDA altogether.

However, despite all of that, I still managed to root my first Android phone, install a custom ROM and a recovery. Now I make themes, bootscreens, answer all kinds of questions, and just try to contribute the best I can.

The thing is, with anything new, there's always going to be a learning curve, and the first obstacle is always the hardest, but after that... it gets easier. With Android, a lot things are going to look really different and new to people, but eventually it'll all make sense, just gotta stick with it.

You'll have to use CLI's (command line interfaces), ADB, SDK's, etc. It's really outside people's comfort zones, because they've never done any of that before, but if you never try -- what do you gain? Nothing. You might as well try, because thats the beauty of Android. You can have a stock phone or you can customize it to your hearts content. Its all up to you, you make the choices. That's the awesome thing about having an Open Source device.

I know that the forums can be become cluttered, but my answer for that is going to be...search. Yes, I know... even when searching, you might not always get the EXACT answer your looking for and maybe even sometimes, you'll be pointed elsewhere and keep running in circles. However, you will find the answer sooner or later, it just might take you some time, which I'm sorry to say; is part of Open Source. Someone is bound to have/had the same problem as you have/had.

If you really can't find the answer here on XDA, you can always Google and search the keyboards and then add + android central, SDX, etc (there are many more forums besides XDA). Otherwise, go ahead and post your question in the General or Q&A section, someone will give you answer. (I try to answer all the questions I can).

It would be nice if we lived in a perfect world where any of questions had answers directly linked, but thats not the world we live in... so instead, we have to rely on search and just have to keep messing around until the problems fixed.
