Verizon has something know as Mifi and even At&t but i'm not sure if its contract free
[Off-topic] user7618:
I don't think it is. Just tell your friend to move next door to someone with an unsecure router and snag their signal. Free and no contract. :D Other than that, I don't think you can get what you're looking for without a contract. Still, if they sign on with a major carrier, they could take it with them when they move.

Virgin Mobile does prepaid mobile broadband without a contract. I believe you have to buy one of their USB dongles though.
[Off-topic] loudjp:
Checkout Cricket Wireless. Their 3G Dongles start at $50 and they have monthly plans starting at $40/month.

[Off-topic] Diamond_dawg:
is it with contract or no contract, cuz the OP's friend want without contact i'm sure as its temporary and also rebates sound like a contract :P
[Off-topic] Shasarak:
Thanks guys. Cricket looks like the best deal so far. Virgin comes in a strong second. (Cricket pulls ahead thanks to the cheaper dongle price - still a little cheaper even if the dongle rebate falls through). Virgin's data allowance may be a bit more generous than Cricket's ("unlimited" vs "2.5GB") but I don't think this will affect my friend; Virgin's coverage outside metropolitan areas might also be better (although that's less clear).

You might need to flash with the 2.3.15 sbf first. I was rooted and themed and the update kept failing. After the sbf, I had no issues with the update.
[Droid X General] MacdaddyDC:
First time poster and extremely unknowledgeable about how to do almost anything except rely on the technical prowess and patience of the developers and other contributors here. That being said, I too have a rooted droid x (using z4root) and cannot get the ota update to work. I tried unrooting using z4root and downloading + installing only to have it fail.

If someone could please post a link or an explanation (in very simple terms, please), how to both obtain and install whatever this sbf is mentioned above, I would appreciate it quite a bit.

Thanks in advance.

When you ask for help I would advise for you to at least type in complete sentences so someone can try to understand what it is you're saying. I find it extremely annoying when people ask for help, but their questions are not clear or concise; just a bunch of sentence fragments.

As for everyone else I was having trouble early and just SBF'd. It was the only way for me. Running 2.3.15.

Is this 2.3 gingerbread?
[Droid X General] mithikx:
make sure you don't sbf to something lower then your current version i.e. 2.3.32 > 2.3.15 is a no go. (results in brick i think) also make sure your bootloader is the right version and etc. etc.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
Folks,

So I want to start working on a theme idea for my stock Imagio running TF3D 2.1, but have no idea how to get started.

Bit of information before suggestions start coming in. I have zero coding skills. The last coding I did was back in the 80's with COBAL and Extended Basic. So you can see how far removed I am.

I can't flash to a custom ROM, so need to remain with the stock Verizon ROM that came with the Imagio.

I do have speed tweaks and am using HDWall to create icons, sliders and what not.

But what I want to do is make a complete theme, including that startup screen as well as the power down screen. I can do icons and wallpapers using HDWall, but want to 'go all the way' with this.

Also, the animations would need to be pulled off the xbox console, and I have no video capabilites as well.

Am I a lost cause, or is there something out there, or someone willing to take on an 'apprentice'?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmart518:
To get you started:

Startup.gif - this is the opening animation

welcomehead.png - this is the picture that is displayed after Startup.gif

Shutdown.gif - this is the shutdown animation

All files are in the Windows folder
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
jmart! Hows it going! So, I just need to replace those two? Got that. Now, how do I go about making the GIF file, and how many frames am I allotted before either it gets too long, or the system says its too big?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmart518:
Doing great buddy, you?!

To be honest, I have never tried to make a gif. Windows probably doesn't care about the number of frames (how long it runs), worse case, it will just get cut short.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
So far, I haven't had the issue with 2.1 that I ran into with 2.5, but like I said, I want to pound this by installing and uninstalling stuff, changing themes, just running it into the ground so that I can be sure there is nothing wrong with my system before I throw your CAB back on.

I do have to tell you, I am running around 80%, maxing out at 82% when S2P is running. And it seems a little snappier than 2.5, so I am thinking since I installed cookies right off the bat, that maybe there is something there with Cookies that is causing a glitch with my system.

So I will try and figure out how to make the GIF, I got a friend whos into video production, and another who is a computer genious, I mean smarter than Bill Gates when it comes to these things. Maybe I can get those two together to copy the opening sequence from my Xbox and put it into a GIF.

Thanks again! Little over a week and 2.5 will get another go!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmart518:
That sounds cool!

Just a heads up, if you are talking about stock Sense on your Imagio, you have 2.0. 2.1 is available as a cab also though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
I was told I have 2.1! How do I know which one I do have? Maybe thats the issue, am I upgrading too many steps? Can you go 2.0 to 2.5?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmart518:
The Imagio hasn't been upgraded past 2.0. The did upgrade the name from TF3D to Sense though in the MR1 update.

Going from 2.0 to 2.5 is exactly right
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerrya:
Well aint that a blip! That would also make sense as to why some of the clocks I have tried havent worked!

Thanks. Oh, and I like the look of your ROM, very nice!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jmart518:
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate that!

Creating an animated GIF has never been easier, if you use MS GIF animator (it's freeware!). It's a very simple tool, as much in design as in usability, with which you will be able to create your own animated GIF in the blink of an eye. It doesn't even need any installation. All you need is to execute it, select the images you want to incluide in your GIF animation, modify the parameters that you want from the configuration, and all set! All of that via a thoroughly intuitive interface.

Hey guys, I am still on eclair and have not so good stock email app. Is situation any better on froyo? Is the stock app better and faster?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] juamiso:
Hi, email app sucks also on froyo, pretty rubbish. Give a try to k9 mail. I have not missed any functionality until now.

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pekka91166:
OK,

the E-mail.apk in 2.2.1 is already (much) better in presenting HTML and way faster than the old one in 2.2 Froyo.

Also, there's SEVEN (search it via G**gle :-) ), another mailclient which does well with HTML-emails, Samsung uses them in some regions so it can be had for free,

otherwise they have a Beta-program where yuo can DL a Samsung-version

Ann then there are the other Exchange / Email solutions like K9 etc.

But due to speed and navigation-arrows I'm now using the default (exchange) mail.apk from 2.2.1 The first time it's really workeable with approx. 100 emails per day coming in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] navanid:
as right said, there is a better and free android email app..its not available in market.. you need to get it from seven.. I have posted detailed blog with screen shots and apk file . also the instructions .. pls. visit http://giztech.in

I would love to see which ROMs are the most popular over time (kinda like a Live poll)

Also on this thread I would like to know why you chose your ROM to help me make the choice on which ROM I might try next. Is this possible?

I have used Uncommon Sense, SkyRaider, Virtuous and my current and favorite ROM is Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1.3.

I really like RRevo 2.1.3 because it is fast, stable, great dev support, clean, and great battery life.

I can't tell you for sure that battery life is better on #4 because I didn't try #5 for more than 12 hours or so, but I can tell you that battery life on #4 is terrific and it is definitely smoother for me as far as transitioning between screens and apps within the 2 launchers I use (lp+ and go launcher). I would give both a try and I would give chad's a try too as his is great also (better than #5 and similar to #4).

Every phone seems to react differently so just check them out.

It also has a toggle menu in the notifications area to turn on/off gps, wifi, bluetooth, vibration or silent, etc. Pretty handy!

I have been running Lou's rEVOlution for about a month and it never let me down. Very stable!!! Yesterday I switched over to Two point Two and it is pretty nice as well. I haven't had any problems with it, but I do think rEVOlution is a bit quicker and more smooth. There are things about both I wish we could incorporate into 1 ROM. More than likely I'll probably go back to rEVOlution but Two point Two is definately worth trying.

Myn's Warm Two Point Two RLS 4. Fast, very customizable, and IMHO, the fastest growing rom user base. It is an EVO based rom, which actually is an advantage in that there is quite a bit of shared resources, both by knowledge and by available mods.

The Devs are very committed as are the followers.

I ran Virtuous, Redemptive, SkyRaider, Shadowrom, Ruby, Jager, and Cyanogen.

If you don't install Myn's, then definitely use one of these. You will find very few problems with any of these, a devoted user base, and lots of stability and speed.

If you are ready to take the next step to a more advanced and customizable rom, come on over to Myn's Warm Two Point Two.
