This is a thread to show hack-a-day what a unprofessional and outright dumb move they made by posting that article. I think it would be a great idea if everyone dropped a comment on the hackaday site for the 10 missing things for Android / 10 things for Gingerbread article and post the screenshot here. I have attached mine below along with the link to the article.

And yes I am really angered by their dumb approach. How do you not know that Android has folders, I mean co'mmon.

Per cxdist, just to show I am not trying to drive hits, Article Below
[Nexus One General] cxdist:
They got you driving up site hits. Sounds like a great move to me.
[Nexus One General] flak0:
Oh no dude, I cant stand hackaday, there just punks because they deleted the comment i left on the site. I mean an alternative would be just to post the article here and comment here. F&#K their hits.
[Nexus One General] isolated_epidemic:
I can't agree more that the article was written by a bumbling idiot, but how is this remotely related to development. Don't be a fool too, post in the right section.
[Nexus One General] flak0:
Dude your right. Mod please post in the General Nexus One section. Thanks, Its 4:00am here so my bad.
[Nexus One General] isolated_epidemic:
Great find though, I always enjoy a solid chuckle before bed. Just like Fox News that guy apparently did zero research on his subject matter.

[Nexus One General] obstacles can kill:
1. A no-brainer task manager.

Just because Google hasn't integrated it itself doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The article is right that Google hasn't released their own, but a task manager like ATK works perfectly fine. There are plenty of missing things in iOS4 that customers have relied on third party developers to fill the void.

2. Stable Multitasking

I lol'ed. Multitasking on my N1 works wonders compared to the "multitasking" on my iOS4 iPod Touch.

3. Swype

The default keyboard doesn't suck (I personally prefer it over Swype). But it is retarded to not acknowledge that Swype's closed-beta situation right now and limited manufacturer partners is probably the reason. Not Google.

4. IR- sender support

I couldn't care less about IR at this point. Haven't had it on a phone in years and don't miss it one bit. I'd rather have the ability to control devices over WiFi. Devices still relying on IR need to catch up as opposed to Google going backwards.

5. Universal pinch-to-zoom

Has anyone been able to pinch-to-zoom yet on their iOS4 homescreens? 'nuff said.

6. Folders

I didn't realize that the organized folders I have on my stock Android homescreens are figments of my imagination or have been magically created in my sleep by anally organized unicorns.

7. SD-Card support for app-storage

Really? Hi Froyo. Oh and I wish I could move apps to SD on my iPod Touch... (as most know, "storage capacity on an iDevice does not equal the amount of app RAM).

8. Built-in syncing

For media, I will say I do agree. A 1st party sync tool for media would be nice. But for PIM functionality, I much prefer the OTA syncing as opposed to having to remember to tether to my MacBook when I need to move info (except for those on Exchange which doesn't really count in this case because it goes without saying).

9. Standardized UI for all apps

God forbid developers have the right to design their apps the way they see fit instead of being told they all have to look a certain way!! I'm a unique and creative guy. I like my apps the same way.

10. Better market

iOS4's walled garden approach makes sense in many ways and doesn't make sense in many others. Android's approach leaves more of a possibility for trouble. But crap apps fill most of Apple's app store (not saying there isn't tons of crap in Android's market though) and clearly the walled garden approach isn't in place to give users only apps worth needing/buying. My one Android suggestion in this category? Buy AppBrain.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Running_Roti:
the updated rooting instructions on the main post are just fine. all u need to know before u start is that u should have SEUS installed, im sure u have becuase u've updated ur phone to --20. so to get it to --23 all u have to do is download the packets and follow the instructions closely and it shouldnt lead u astray :-). u should end up with a 23 firmware + working headphone jack + a phone that says its an x10A.

Headphone problem

Hi, I have the x10a rooted with R2B0023. I installed the market fix and now my music is always routed to the external speaker, never to my headphones.

Anybody has a solution?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] karthigan:
Clarification ...

Hi Team / Board Members.

1st of all, thanks to all the developers / forum members for getting thru this rooting business and procedures.

2nd:

I read the procedures over & over again, and will attempt to "root" my rogers x10a phone tonight after work.

Just a few questions / clear-up required:

(1) I have updated my Rogers X10A thru SEUS to the following:

Model Number: X10A

Firmware Version: 1.6

Baseband Version: 1.1.25

Kernel Version: 2.6.29-rel / semc-andriod@SEMC #2

Build Number: R2BA020

(2) The main root topic, found with the title of [GUIDE] Root your X10 R2BA023 ! { Update 06.07.2010 Nicer Instructions :D }, it's updated, all the *.cmd step #1,#2,#3,#4,#5 is updated to reflect any problems?

(3) After going thru all the steps, my phone will have the R2BA023 build, with X20a model name & baseband will be updated as well to 1.1.26 /1.1.27 or so?

(4) Can this "rooting" procedure be completed on 64-bit Windows 7 Laptop system, I know I have to dedicate the same usb port for the entire rooting procedure?

(5) I typed the MMS/GPRS settings manually on a WORD DOC, and after ***sucessfully*** rooting, I just have to re-create the profile right?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
I just went through the rooting procedure on my X10a (formerly running the 016 Rogers ROM). Everything went well.

As for your question regarding the procedure on a 64bit Windows system: just follow the guide here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=713457) for getting Java 32-bit running on your system before you try the root. It works, and will prevent a lot of problems.

Otherwise, it's all pretty much correct.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] karthigan:
Hey, thanks for the reply.

Just a few more questions that I have to ask:

(1) regarding the headphone jack, I am hearing mixed emotion regarding it doesn't work vs. it works after sucessfull rooting ....

what's the story with that and relation to the X20a that I have, not X10i?

(2) under the troubleshooting, problems, feedback on the rooting procedure, people are stating there is a problem with the accelerometer ? Is that true?

Since you have sucessfully rooted, did you experience any problems whats ever?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
I tested this afternoon, and I don't have any problems with the headphone jack. My headphones worked as expected, as did my bluetooth MW600 (which I also tested just to make sure).

Hmm... haven't tested yet. Gimme a sec to load up Abduction!... Just finished the first level (I really wish I had backed up my games) with no issues, so I'd say it seems fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] karthigan:
Thanks for confirming ....

I'll do the process and let you know how it came about.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] the_ahmadzais:
Thank u all . So if I root my phone would it mess up the unlocking cuz I'm with fido and phone was originally Rogers
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] saltorio:
Nope. Unlocking and rooting are two completely separate things. You'd be fine.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] MacDrunk:
No unlocking yet then
[General Questions and Answers] pbrthemaster:
Hi,

I edited my /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini on my HTC Hero to support for AdHoc networks. Now when I tried to update my phone to 2.1 version I'm getting checksum error for that file. Can anyone please send me the tiwlan.ini file which comes which comes with HTC Hero( Firmware 1.5)?

Update info at the end of this post.

---------

warning: this tool is for flashaholics. The ones who know all risks of flashing roms and like to live in the fast lane :)

Note for non HD2-users: this tool works only on the HD2. For a general version that will work on other devices too: look here.

- Description:

FlashaholicRUU (FRUU) is a customized version of the HTC Rom Update utility that will simplify the rom update proces by:

1. automatically performing a task29 before updating a rom

2. allowing the user to navigate through the dialog windows without having to check checkboxes (s)he has seen a gazillion times before.

3. allowing the user to use only the keyboard to go through the dialog boxes (enter -> next window, esc -> quit fruu)

- Usage:

(Thanks to mskip for writing this brief but comprehensive manual)

- Video:

Video of the app on a computer of a fellow flashaholic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hn3pGbW-vag. Thank you claub. Keep on flashin' :)

- Note to chefs:

You can pack FRUU with your Roms. You can even customize FRUU for your Rom series. For example you can use your own images, text, info etc. I have written some general instructions about customizing the RUU here. (Notice that in FRUU ModelID.fig is used for the first task29 step and RUU.fig is used for the second step. The dialogs for the first step are part of RUUResource.dll. Dialogs for the second step you will find in CustomizedRomResource.dll. Instead of the setup.bat and setup.vbs I mentioned in the aforementioned post I used the files run.bat and run.vbs. For exra information you can PM me)

- Donations:

Are accepted :)

Thank you!

Thanks to: doloop (for his non-mtty task 29 tool), ShaDrac (for speeding up doloops procedure) and MysticGenius (for convincing this community that task 29 really is important :) )

------------------------------------

UPDATE (v1_1 , 17-7-2010): speeded up the first procedure (task29) by flashing the standard HTC bootscreen (1st screen you see when the device boots up). Util is considerably smaller.

Be aware that if you have another bootscreen than the standard HTC bootscreen, it will be overwritten. If you don't like this use the first version (FlashaholicRUU.zip)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bbking_bm:
tnx sir , it is very good
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Not necessary, unless you want to change your radio. Task 29 only formats the rom area and does not remove the radio, so the radio you were using previously will remain.

As Task29 hits 100%, hold the volume down button in, it will reboot back into bootlader mode and you can then run step 2.

You're right. This would be great. What we need for this is a very clever chef that can create a simple rom file that can be flashed during the task 29 procedure and that would cause the device to enter the bootloader after restarting the device.

Maybe a chef can comment about this? Can it be done?

hi IOPI

I ran the utility and it stopped after Step 1. Now my HTC HD2 does not start and only shows the T-mobile icon and does not move forward. What do I do now?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
Ok, this app. is for experienced users as noted in the first post. Anyway... in step 1 you have formated your device. It's perfect that your HD2 doesn't start anymore. That means that step 1 was run succesfully :)

All you have to do now is to flash your favorite rom. Use the utility provided by your rom chef or run the Flashaholic RUU again and repeat step 1 (or hit esc. to go directly to the second step).

BTW Make sure you return to the bootloader after the first step before you start the second step.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] statinsky:
i wasnt able to flash with customRUU, let s try with it
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mskip:
Maybe it would be a good idea to put some NOOB friendly instructions in the first post because you know its not going to be used by just experienced users and im sure you dont want to be repeating yourself every other post (known that feeling well).

Giving the (basic) instructions on what they will see after running the Task29 file aswell as getting into the bootloader OR starting the customruu procedure will stop people posting worried messages saying you killed their HD2 lol.

Does this statement need revising?

Havent tried this yet as im not flashing til tonight ;)

A little tut for the junior flashaholic

A little tutorial for the aspirant or junior flashaholic

0. (Preliminary step) Copy the FlashaholicRUU.exe file (the one you find in the zip file attached to the first post) to the directory in which you keep the rom file of your favorite rom chef

(Rom files are files with a .nbh extension and are between 150 mb and 225 mb large. You probably downloaded such a file in a zip file from the thread of your favorite Rom chef. The most common name used for these rom files is ruu_signed.nbh )

---------------------------

1. Take out the battery of your HD2 and put it back in

2. Hold down the volume-down button... hold it down ... and turn your device on (end key = red key TMOUS device)

3. Now you should see a tri-colored screen (red, green, blue .... white). This screens means that you are in the bootloader.

In the white part you should see "serial"

4. connect your hD2 to your computer with the usb cable. Now "serial" should turn into "USB"

5. Now you are ready to run the Flashaholic Rom Update Utility.

6. Run Step 1 (perfoming task 29 or formatting your device) and wait till the message "congratulations you have performed task 29. You are now ready to flash blablabla). Don't hit enter yet. Instead Perform step 1 to 4... (which means that you have to get your device into the bootloader again )

7 Now you are ready to run Step 2 (flashing your favorite rom) of the Flashaholic Rom Update Utility

8. Run the second step and wait till the "congratulations" window. Unplug your device, set up the rom... run it for a few hours, search another one and start with step 1 (if you want to become a real senior flashaholic)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mongar:
Thanks for quick reply IOPI.

I am unable to run a CustomRUU as it asks me to connect PDA using ActiveSync. This is not possible as I am unable to start in the first place. And this fails with 'Error Connection'

Please advise further.

Thanks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] mongar:
Hi IOPI

Tried the steps listed but get the following error on running Task29.

The PDA screen still shows the Tri color screen with 'USB' at the bottom of the screen.

Error 240 FILE OPEN "The Update utility cannot open the requested file. Please check your update utility'

Please advise. Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
You're right. Some things are so predictable :)

I've added a link to a tutorial in the first post.

Are you shaking yet.... Are you sweating... ? :D A couple of hours to go... Good luck
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
This probably means that you don't have a rom file in the directory from which you are running the Flashaholic RUU from.

So, step 0 of the tutorial should be:

Copy the FlashaholicRUU.exe file (the one you find in the zip file attached to the first post) to the directory in which you keep the rom file of your favorite rom chef

(Rom files are files with a .nbh extension and are between 150 mb and 225 mb large. You probably downloaded such a file in a zip file from the thread of your favorite Rom chef. The most common name used for these rom files is ruu_signed.nbh )

Just finished flashing Artemis Rom and I'm really happy as every thing happened in two steps:D

CHEERS
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] appelflap:
BTW you can also use the tool to flash a ROM without performing task 29. In that case hit <ESC> on the first screen. This will bring you right to step 2 in which you can flash a rom. Very usefull when you want to flash a new radio.

Less usefull: one can also only perform a task 29 by hitting esc on the first screen of step 2.
