Read thread please. The idea is not 'iPhone rules Android sucks!'. It is 'iPhone is very well built with great hardware and feels like a premium device. Android device makes should spend some time focussing on those things too instead of making syleless plastic crap'.

Yeah, and I was just in a bad mood yesterday. :) I had the pleasure of using an iPhone 4 a few minutes after using a Samsung Captivate and the difference in feel and perceived quality was just striking. I would love to see device makers pay more attention to hand feel and design and choosing components that are actually better not just bigger numbers on a spec sheet. (IE camera)
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
6 Axis sensor, REAL multitouch, SAMOLED, PowerVR... I could go on and on...

Apparently Google has chosen that "pile of ****" :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
So is there even official word from Google? I'm leaving my comments till there's an official announcement.

In anycase, you still need the software to make use of the hardware. Samsung has a history of very bad software support. However good the hardware is, Touchwiz is still a waste on all that bling.

If the so called nexus 2 is indeed plain android, I'd still think of it as a samsung galaxy s flashed with plain android. Not really ground breaking stuff.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
The official word is that there is no Nexus Two.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
And official word before that: we will get more phones.

N1 is a great phone, but it wont be forever. Current BMW M3 is great car today, but it wont be that great in 2020 anymore. So we need to get newer and improved products.
[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Well, the Nexus One is still the only Google smartphone right out of the box. All the new phones coming will still have 3rd party propriety **** crapped over it.

Google has to come out with a much higher spec phone with clean, plain Android 3.0+ on it. And if they don't, god help us all..
[Nexus One General] stuff:
lol @ god help us all. As if we're doomed. Google didn't even officially release froyo 2.2 on the N1, and XDA already had the rom. of course it was beta, and not even deodexed, but still had it.

Samsung and HTC just hardly make any software. So they take their time with updates
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
doesnt sound right.....Galaxy S is not much of a hardware improvement over Nexus 1, Galaxy S2 on the other hand is the ****.

The biggest negative on Nexus One is the AMOLED display and touchsensors, with Samsung's SAMOLED (or SAMOLED-2 in S2) problems are gone and its the best screen for "Nexus 2"

It would make alot of sense for Google to jump with Samsumg because NO other manufacture is getting SAMOLED screens (everyone else is stuck on LCD or S-LCD, SAMOLED is a property of Samsung)

The buzzing noise is actually a gnat trapped in your speaker. The phone doesn't see the batttery because you didn't put it back in after your last Odin.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jmejiaa:
Hey!

Well I'm back.. I had a G1 when it first came out(pre order)... I lasted with that thing a couple of months and couldn't deal with it being so buddy at first and just missed my BB in general.

Anyway, I've been wanting to get an Android phone, being that I'm still in contract I didn't want to pay full price, I found a mytouch 3g for 65 bucks... SO I went for it.

I got it today with 1.6, I just read up all day at work and successfully rooted, and installed about 4 Roms so far, right now I'm on the latest CM6 with Google apps(booting now)... I might stick with this one for now...

Now for one question, and forgive me if it has been asked, I managed to do everything else without asking so I deserve one noob post right?

If I ever want a new ROM, do I need to wipe everytime? Or is there a much simpler way after the initial load?

I see some people installing a new rom very often, do you re-download all your apps?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Link2097:
thats pretty much what i do (re-download all my apps) im not sure if you have to wipe every time im fairly sure it depends on the rom your flashing but overall i know it is a good thing to do a wipe before flashing a new rom every time because if not there could be things left over from the previous rom and if it boots it will have force closes and all kinds of nasty stuff

in summary yes to my knowledge you should wipe every time before flashing a new rom im not sure if you have to- i just do

i could be wrong, this is just my take on it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
wrong section!

moving to general​
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] AdrianK:
If you're using AOSP (Android Open Source Project) builds (basically anything that does not include HTC Sense, MotoBlur ect) then no, you should be fine without a wipe, all your apps, app data, and settings will remain intact.

Should you need to wipe, you can backup your apps by typing this in to the terminal.

mkdir /sdcard/app

cp /data/app/* /sdcard/app

cp /data/app-private/* /sdcard/app

Then wipe (including dalvik cache!) flash the new ROM from recovery, wipe dalvik cache again and restore them

mount /sdcard

cp /sdcard/app/* /data/app

And you're done :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jmejiaa:
Thanks for the tips. Sorry bout the wrong section!

Anyway, I installed the Cyangen(sp?) modded rom, the latest one on there site, Rc3 I believe? Besides the older phone being a little slow it seems to run great so far.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Binary100100:
CM-6.0.0-RC3-DS is NOT the latest version. The latest is now CM-6.1.0-RC1-DS.

The latest for CM-6.0.0 is simply CM-6.0.0-DS.

The RC stands for Release Candidate. Which means it's still exerimental.

CM-6.0.0-RC1 is VERY OLD (experimental).

CM-6.0.0-RC2 is PRETTY OLD (experimental).

CM-6.0.0-RC3 is OLD (experimental).

CM-6.0.0 is STABLE (official release!).

CM-6.1.0-RC1 is NEW (experimental).

CM-6.1.0-RC2 is NOT YET RELEASED.

Anyone figured out yet how to change the distance units in Places? Everything else is in metric, but I get the damn distances Places in ****ing miles. :mad:

eg how can I limit search

oh wait there is a little icon down the bottom left which shows me the search list page.

...and google still has yet to update the android maps API. The google map-kit for iPhone is still light years ahead of the android.

I would like to see my own layers. Pics of my kids doing stuff at parks, skateboarding, etc. That would be pretty cool. Point at the ocean and see my kid do an off the top on a wave from last spring. Hah.

Just a thought.
[Android Apps and Games] whiskeyGrimpeur:
You can do that now. You just can't get information about individual map tiles, even something as simple as onMapFinishedLoading() doesn't exist. That means your layers will (often) load before the map is loaded, which looks like crap.
[Android Apps and Games] lucanhquan90:
Thank you very much.I Like it :)
[Android Apps and Games] 1asterisk:
Curious. Does it pull xif data from Picasa for the image overlay? You would think that would be pretty easy to pull off. I mean I would subscribe to other folks layers to see what they do, where they go,etc. So, if I follow a skateboarder and he shares his layer I can see what trick he did at places I also skate. Video embed would be even more awesome.

I installed a NAND rom and was great, but it lacks of most of google apps like Gmail and Google Maps...
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Updated with 10% increments for the battery in the status-bar
[Droid X Android Development] osvaldoalejandre:
so this is an update not a full rom right//?
[Droid X Android Development] GTvert90:
How did you do the battery? If I meta morphed a icon that supported 10% readings will it still work?
[Droid X Android Development] thepolishguy:
I don't suppose you are working on a black bar version?
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Nope, just an update to Rubix
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
I recompiled the framework-res.apk with the extra icons and made the needed changes to a few files.

If you install the framework-res.apk the battery will work
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
I can probably port the black bar theme I created for Fussion :D

Awesome work. Just one thing, I see the black gtalk. But not Gvoice. Also there is no /sdcrad/JARubix folder after installing this update. Its there in .zip but does not get copied to sdcard after installation.

Oh, good catch!!! When I modified the script this morning I forgot to include the sdcard portion of it. I will post an update soon!
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
OK, try it now. I just posted the update after the install you should now have Gvoice in the /sdcard/JARubix/ directory.
[Droid X Android Development] rohitece06:
Actually I extracted it from the .zip and installed it through root explorer. BTW any plans for black bar + 10% increment or something like nextheme

EDIT: Also, in Gvoice the to field has white font on white background
[Droid X Android Development] ksc6000:
Hi guys,

I'm on a Nexus one, but I really want the black Gtalk app. I'm not very good with ADB, so I'm hoping this is possible through terminal emulator, but I don't know the commands. I extracted the talk.apk from the zip file, and put it on the root of my SD card, but I don't know what to do from here. Please advise?
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
There's a blackbar theme in the OP

What do you mean there is a white background on white text on the to field cause I'm not seeing it? Could you post a screenshot?
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
After you have the talk.apk copy that to the /system/app folder and set the permissions
[Droid X Android Development] ksc6000:
It says read only?
[Droid X Android Development] rohitece06:
you need to use root explorer, copy talk.apk, navigate to /system/app, press mount r/w in top corner, then paste talk.apk and set permissions (hold the apk) to make same as other apks there, reboot
[Droid X Android Development] rohitece06:
Here you go. It says "Hello" in the to field, write below compose at top left corner
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Cool, thanks for the sending the screenshot. I will look into it and post a fix soon!
[Droid X Android Development] ipawd1:
Can someone show me WHERE the update.zip files are for gooletalk and google voice so I can flash them...? I dont want the entire theme.. just the themed gchat and gvoice
[Droid X Android Development] ksc6000:
Okay I got the black Gtalk to work on my Nexus one by using ADB...but the google voice should just be able to be installed in something like astro right?
[Droid X Android Development] zehkaiser:
How can I get black talk/voice without the other things? Can you post the apk's? I would like to stay on OTA.
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Yes, just install it through Astro
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
Dude, calm down..... If you spent 2 min's and downloaded the file then extracted it you would find them fairly easily... the GTalk is in *.zip/system/app/ and the Gvoice is in /sdcard/

those are the APK's look at other posts in this thread to find out how to install them.
[Droid X Android Development] kejar31:
You are going to need root to install the GTalk.....

cool, I didn't see anything immediately in the rubix thread (though there are 60 pages) and I didn't know if it was rubix or jarubix. I install JA immediately after rubix, so I wouldn't have ever seen that problem. Thanks though.

Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All - scroll to Market.

Clear the data and clear the cache.

Back to Home, run Android Market however you usuallly do. It should act just like you have never run it and ask you to connect it to the proper GMail account.

Assuming you connect it to the same account you have always used, it should work again and the only thing lost is the search history.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] steven1234:
they don't find out they lock the feature out of your phone and put in an app that has to go thru their authentication to tether (or at least this is what i've noticed) so most rooted phones can use an alternate tethering app and they'll never be the wiser, or at least never really be able to prove it enough to go after you.

They can.....on rooted phone,with a 3th party tether app i am not sure....i did read that last week in a dutch article.As example,Vodafone netherlands see if you tether with a standard phone,with the normal tether app.

So providers are able to detect if their data connections are being used for teathering.. correct?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Genesis3:
They can infer but it is difficult to prove, unless you're using their application.

There are some things you can do on a laptop or desktop computer that simply aren't available as applications on a handheld (such as a phone.) That traffic (most-notably peer-to-peer connections, but not exclusively) can be trivially detected, and if it is, you're in deep kimchee.

If you're doing email and ordinary web browsing it's much more difficult to know you're tethering. It's when you go off the reservation into things that can't be done from the handset that it becomes pretty easy to at least strongly-infer you've tethered to some other device.

It's scare tactics, they are not allowed to inspect your packets, as this is a breach of privacy, thus it is impossible for them to determine what the data is being used for.

If you use a lot of data you would probably be flagged somehow but it would only be guesswork.

1. The actual data looks no different

2. It's been ruled legal to jailbreak/root phones so there is no telling if you are running ubuntu on your phone using regular firefox or tethering your PC using firefox on your pc.

3. You could be using a custom app that spoof's the header to pretend to be a full browser on your phone, which is dodgey but not illegal.
