Gents,

Seeing as it seems all vid conf software is not working yet. The HTC EVO 4G comes with software pre-loaded from Qik. It supposedly will work Android to Android with the front camera. Can someone rip the .apk off the phone and try it with two tabs?

Like everyone else, I would love to get at least android to android video conf to work.
[G Tablet General] linckraker:
i find that fring is more useful than qik. fring can go from android to iphone. link for fring apk
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I don't have a g-tab yet, but from my understanding fring doesn't work. The audio makes it unusable.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Seeing as I don't have a tab yet, can someone try this on their tab and let me know if it works properly? It is supposed to be the video version from the EVO.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Yahoo messenger works for video calls. Though you have to hold the tablet in portrait
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Good to know, thanks. Seems like the best mobile/tablet/desktop option at the moment. How is the video quality over 3G? 4G?
[G Tablet General] mnm101:
Is it just me, or is there a screen/webcam orientation problem? When using yahoo messenger the other party sees me sideways, 90 degrees off, when I rotate the image is still off by 90 degrees. When in the camera app the image is inverted, in landscape mode the image is correct, when I rotate the gtab the image is inverted (I'm upside down).

It's obvious that most of these video chat apps were written assuming the end user would hold the device in portrait mode with the lens over the screen, however, viewsonic installed it over the screen in landscape, but should have converted the image somehow.

I'm considering cracking the gtab open and rotating it myself, hopefully this should take care of it.

Does anyone have this same issue?
[G Tablet General] leatherhead:
I have the same issue. As I am not totally thrilled with yahoo messenger, I am waiting until Google talk or skype come out with a better product.

One thought...had you tried to turn off auto rotate prior to starting the chat? I was going to do this, but havent gotten around to it.

So I see a bunch of folks around xda mentioning, even recommending applanet.

i`m certainly not opposed to free but I just cant figure out why they want permission to access to log in credentials when installing the app.

Would anyone smarter then me like to give their two cents on this?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] utrx:
hmmm. I don't remember it asking me for credentials....I got the apk and installed it, and it launched......maybe it used my stored credentials? hmmm. I did not give it too much thought as I have 2 google accounts. 1 for junk and another more serious. They could hack the junk one all they want. :p
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TainT:
Lemme clarify. When you install the app. The permissions page pops up telling you applanet wants (among other things) permission to access your account credentials.

Very few apps I have seen need this level of access.

Just buy apps!

Pirating will stop/stall development for the best and new apps in the android market. Support them, this will give you more pleasure with your tablet in the end.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] daniel.weck:
Agreed ... baring in mind that there are apps on the Market that require really suspicious permissions as well, regardless of whether they are free or not. It's probably worse with APKTor, which is not designed towards secured downloads ;)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TainT:
I support many developers by buying apps. I didn't start this thread to be lectured by you.

I wonder why someone so opposed to pirating is even here?

Sent from my SGH-T849
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] meatrocket:
You other guys aren't even reading what he's written

"The permissions page pops up telling you applanet wants (among other things) permission to access your account credentials"

As in - when you install an app from the market, it tells you what it's going to access on your phone and asks for your OK. He's asking why an app would want access to your credential information portion of the phone (as opposed to just SD Card Contents, etc). He hasn't said ANYTHING about trying to pirate apps!

BTW, I've never seen one ask for that.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
By that you mean what? That people opposed to pirating apps shouldnt read threads by people that do?

Im also opposed to pirating. Yeah, if the app is free and you cant get it, then ask the dev for the apk, but knowingly taking a paid app without giving a donation or any recognition to the dev is wrong.

Just my opinion.

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] TainT:
What I meant was. Why would someone with such high morals be on a site dedicated to circumventing software limitations imposed by others.

Having said that. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and since the awkwardness of the apPlanet apk changed my mind about installing it I don't even see a need to continue those thread.

BTW. Some apps are ridiculously expensive and I still don't see a reason to pay upwards of $20 dollars to a group of investors just to find i still can't edit word documents.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] le3ky:
There is a big difference in "circumventing software limitations imposed by others" on a device you have bought and own and blatant pirating of apps :p
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
So, everyone on xda has no morals? Im sorry, but thats a ridiculous statement. People on here mod free apps, or they will mod paid if you have proof youve paid for the app. No roms have paid apps in them unless theyre put in by mistake and then theyre taken out.

And yeah, there are ridiculously priced apps (navigation for £40 - £80) but people do buy them.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] foxmeister:
Applanet is a warez source - this site has a very strict policy *against* warez, which is probably why the "hacking" aspect of it is tolerated.

There's one other thread on XDA concerning Applanet and it got shutdown immediately.

That still doesn't make stealing an application right though does it? Don't forget that you have 24 hours from making your Market purchases to uninstall and get a refund if it doesn't suit your needs.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] asticot7:
I though this subject was not about pirating but more about why an app asks for some rights.

btw applanet is not only for pirating it also provides free apps unavailable on the market.

in addition it seems to not providing anything anymore the last past days....
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
There's supposedly a new release coming soon, and they're fixing the server end of it as well.

I think what it boils down to is if you're uncomfortable with the permissions an app is requesting, then don't install it. Better safe than sorry right?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] brilldoctor:
Actually its only 15 mins to return the app. Still its better than ios
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Chainfire:

We don't do warez here. XDA is about getting the most from your device, not about screwing people over.

Hey Mates,

I am pretty new to android now.

I have few questions that would allow to decide whether to Root it or now.

So here goes my quests:

1) After rooting my Wildfire how can i unroot it. (On Stock ROM.)

2) If i install the Custom roms (its rooted) like Cyanogen MOD, how do i revert back to stock rom?

3) I need to install the Linux with the help of linux installer (available from the market) by taking reference from: http://android.galoula.com/en/LinuxInstall/

Does anybody have tried working it out?

4) Can the HTC Sense installed separately on custom roms?

5) After all my desires to mod the Wildfire have accomplished and when i need to sell the phone, would i be able to make my phone look as Stock, unroot and like virgin ? LOL
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
1. Flash the ruu of your stock rom, www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/

2. Flash the ruu of your stock rom, www.shipped-roms.com/shipped/Buzz/ Or do a nandroid restore of your stock rom

3. I dunno

4. No

5. Yes

[Wildfire General] anuragkanase:
I think this is the newest rom and you can flash it since its much better to flash the Worldwide English rom. You can go ahead.
[Wildfire General] erodoq:
could u explain to me how to flash ruu of stock rom in steps sinc i am very new to android
[Wildfire General] anuragkanase:
Via FASTBOOT menu.
[Wildfire General] bynge:
But once you have used Custom ROMs you must have "Custom Recovery Bootloader".

And CustomRecovery will not accept RUU because of the "signing" concept.

Which means you will have get back the Stock Recovery before you can flash any of the RUU.

Am I right? OR have you done it some how? I would like to know.
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Download the RUU (An EXE File), connect your mobile to PC, Choose HTC Sync Mode, and, execute the RUU EXE File.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Guys I live in dangerous country :) and I would like to have some security issue implemented directly in custom ROM which can not be uninstalled and which will be as persist as possible but can be updated. First think which thief should do if he stole mobile is factory reset. And if application will be installed later (not directly with ROM), than this app will be deleted during reset, so it can't be used for finding of mobile.

Yes, I know, if thief can use google it will not help, but for lazy thieves it can help :)

Do you thing that is possible implement this?

And have somebody tip for this application?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] angusc:
there is already two options out ther:

dont steel my phone.....DSMP

Remote Tracker

both have threads here on xda-developers so just search for them to review which one you like.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
And if this aplication will be in ROM does it recovery itself on factory reset? If so, then this is the way. I just need configure app and add this into ROM.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MaXmeOliver:
Try WaveSecure, not free but check their website for instructions on how to install it so it persists a factory reset.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jtaylor63:
Unless the thief is a dumb thief, the first thing he's gonna do with your phone is flashing the original rom. Given this fact, any protection you can think of is doomed to fail.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
Yes, some people will do that, but not all. I don't underestimate thieves, but not all are technical enough. But almost everybody will reset phone into factory defaults. If application will not expose itself too much and firmware will be looks like original-one, there is possibility to easy tracking of this phone.

This issue is for increase chance to find my phone, not way how to do that impossible to delete!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEFINITIONOFREAL:
Ive read in a couple of threads that we can flash I9000 roms on our vibrant with the buttons reversed is this true
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
Be careful! From what I have read, installing I9000 firmware on the Vibrant can truley brick your phone (when trying to go back to Vibrant firmware).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
While it is sprinkled across many threads in these Vibrant forums, I'll add that you'll usually end up overwriting the Kernel and Modem if you decide to flash unmodified i9000 firmware straight away.

The change in Kernel will often reverse normal volume button operation for the Vibrant. Since the i9000 series only has 3 buttons and many other Galaxy S variants have 4, you'll run into problems with that. There are likely additional side effects I've failed to mention here.

You may also experience a loss of 3G data and be limited to EDGE due to the different modem that accompanies the firmware.

You'll almost definitely "soft brick" if you attempt to revert. Thankfully, Eugene has provided a fix for that. Still not recommended, though.

You have been warned. :cool:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wesie:
You'll soft-brick your phone:

Happen also the try to install the JM1 over the JDF : the phone does only start once.

I flash Arabic I9000 Rom o (Froyo) n my vibrant, and as epakrat75 wrote, in the recovery will find the button reversed and you won't able to select.

I just don't like landscape mode on my homescreens but do like it when typing. Is there an app that will allow the user to set landscape preference for each app?

Its called Auto-rotate Status Bar and its free.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsunghgt:
Hi All,

I recently bought a i9000 galaxy s from Turkey, phone doesn't have the market app by default. I want to make the minimum changes to my phone so that I can access the android market.:) I looked through the previous posts but I am lost. Hopefully someone can point to the right direction.

Here is the version info:

pda i9000jvjh1

phone i9000jxjg2

csc i9000trcji1

Here is what I attempted so far:

- I can access recovery/download modes.

- Rooted the phone. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=739304)

- Running system/app/Vending.apk gives a parse error.

- Installed the market-enabler app

- Found a vending.apk on another website and copied it to the sd-card, I was able to install it but when I try to download an app it says: "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again." Also when I look at the downloads tap of the market I see that things are stuck at "starting download..".

What should I do next? There is an update to Froyo available on Kies for my device, but I learnt that update doesn't have the market app either.

P.S.: I am on a Mac and have limited access to windows.

Thanks a lot.

[Streak 5 General] jmarden:
First up I'd like to point out that I'm fairly happy with what's going on. I've put more custom images on my Hero than you can shake a stick at :)

That being said I cannot for the life of me get my Streak to take a new image. I'm praying that someone can figure out what I've screwed up and point me in the right direction :/

A couple of days ago I successfully installed Steve's 1.1.1. I immediately upgraded that to 1.2.0 with the amss update too. At this point my Streak stopped booting, getting stuck at the Dell Logo :/ I've tried for the past couple of days to fix my situation, trying just about everything I can find on the site but nothing got me booting again.

So I went back to the 1.6 nandroid backup I'd made ;)

However now when the Streak boots into 1.6 I have a couple of issues:

1) The Home and Menu icons flash/alternate occasionally.

2) I'm getting No Service AND my baseband is reported as unknown :/

The full details 1.6 reports are:

Baseband Version: Unknown

Kernel version: 2.6.29-perf

OEM version: GAUSB1A110700

Build number: 4399

As the Official 2.2 has been released I thought I'd try that. So following the guide I've applied it via fastboot but this just will not work either. I've tried 4 or 5 times now and after 15mins of sitting at the Dell logo I conclude it's failed.

Can anyone suggest anything I can try ? I'm guessing I've somehow screwed the combination of baseband and system image but I'm lost as to what I need to straighten it out :/
[Streak 5 General] jmarden:
Ok, well after trying to recover what feels like a thousand different ways. I've managed to get an O2 1.6 image on, with an identifiable baseband version. I did this following the guide on modaco

So now I'm going to try for 2.2 again.
