The time should not matter. Nor the effort or anything else for that matter as its not required for you to spend money on said product. Now the second someone takes someone else's source, edits it and calls it their own. Then proceeds to CHARGE you for it, that's where the problem is. People have the right to ask for donations. Does not mean you have to give. You can't take someone's work, edit it and then charge money for it. But you can ask for donations all Damn day! If there is money to be made, people will try to make it.

Edit: I could be wrong here but I'm not really sure of any developer or development group aside from cyanogen that actually develops a Rom from scratch source rather than editing a ROM released by the carrier/manufacturer... and honestly I'm not 100% sure that even cyanogen does this. So please forgive me for my noobness :-)

I appreciate the Devs

There seems to be more bickering & nit picking going on here than in most jr high schools.

Personally, I appreciate the work the Devs do. It's time consuming and you do need knowledge.

As for donate or no donate..... it's all up to you. Starting a thread to dis devs seems childish to me.

Can't we just get back to what this forum was intended for?
[Vibrant General] ScratchSF:
I think this thread was started before the recent Town Hall meeting, which addressed a number of forum issues - including this one: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=871476

The item worth noting is: "3. Donations: This was barely brushed but I feel that we reached an understanding rather quickly on this one. Chefs shall not ask for Donations to release early work."

Have a great holiday season!
[Vibrant General] oka1:
I do not see it the way you posted, i see it as they are trying to get enough donation to make their work not cost them out of pocket......... god knows they do not get alot of donations......... Alot of people claim they are donating but that is just talk........... the devs deserve better..........and less griping
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
This thread died 3 weeks ago....so posting just to call me childish, is childish.......not to mention, enough people (including moderators) agreed with me so these types of donations that my OP referred to are no longer allowed....this was decided in the most recent town hall meeting

A simple search will give you the answer! I'm not doing it for you. There are two other threads in the Android App forums about this. You obviously got the hacked app from one of those threads. There was no need to start another thread about this.

No genius I won't provide a link! I'm tired of doing the work for lazy people! He obviously got the app from the other thread which is were I got it! He knows damn well were to check to see if there is a new version! There was absolutely no need for a new thread. But what would you know, your obviously just like him. To lazy to search so let me just ask even though there are two other threads. I have helped many here so why don't you do the same or just mind your own business! How many duplicate threads would you like to see on this forum. If I'm coming across like a **** then so be it! You should have just done a search for him and posted the link. That's what you wanted me to do!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleph23:
Ahh, but, my friend, I have already searched. So the link is unnecessary. And just because someone hasn't posted something to an antiquated thread does not mean that there is no new information.

The rest of us will continue to ask as we see fit and within the parameters of the forum. There are multiple threads about the same topic in a lot of these forums - take the DK28 GPS fix for example. At least four active threads right now in dev. Why not go police them too?

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus One General] vanquish83:
Hello,

today a received an Ota form my Vodafone FRF91 Nexus One. I thing Ota was for upgrading my Nexus to FRG83D (2.2.1).

Installation failed because signature was not valid. This is because i deleted the Youtube.apk using titan backup (this was the only way to update it to version 2.0)

i'd like to know if any FRF91 User can share me his system\app\YouTube.apk

P.s.

Anyone knows if i can download the 2.2.1 update.zip for Vodafone Nexus? After the first failed installation, the Ota message doesn't appear anymore. Also using the "check in" command nothing happens.
[Nexus One General] MarcusWolschon:
I guess that update would be

6fd7cb1179b3.OTA_Passion_Vodafone_Generic_2.18.151 .5_FRG83D-2.15.151.5_R_FRF91_release_signed.zip

?

See

h tt p://dev.chavant.info/android/signed-passion-img-0713_FRF91/system/app/

for the files.
[Nexus One General] MarcusWolschon:
I tried it myself and I fear Facebook.apk worked but not YouTube.apk :(

6fd7cb1179b3.OTA_Passion_Vodafone_Generic_2.18.151.5_FRG83D-2.15.151.5_R_FRF91_release_signed.zip

is still complaining about a wrong signature of that file.

[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Just passimg FRG33 to get rid of the Vodafone ROM. That way, you'll get updates fast, also... (will erase data though)
[Nexus One General] MarcusWolschon:
I'm not exactly keen on erasing all data on the phone.

What exactly would the steps be to do that though? (I'm fed up with the late EU-vodaphone-updates)
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Pop over to shipped ROM's, download the FRG33 image. Extract it (as it's a zip within a zip) and rename the extracted .zip to passimg.zip, copy it to the root of your SD card. Power the phone on holding Vol-, it will find the file and ask to install. Peasy.
[Nexus One General] MarcusWolschon:
Just for the record:

(in case anyone else with the same issue finds this thread)

I backup up my data with tatanium backup,

then installed passimg FRG33 (US-rom with Android 2.2).

Now it's there, the phone is currently installing all my market-apps

(takes a while), instant root is installed too.

I don't know yet if instant root will work.

Root is required to get all my data back via Titanium Backup.

The over the air update to 2.2.1 is already ready, I clicked

"install later" to let all the market apps be downloaded first.

The non-market apps should come back via Titanium Backup later. (I hope.)

[Vibrant General] emonero:
Is there a way to make JK6 flashable over stock firmware without wiping your apps or settings?
[Vibrant General] CappyQ:
I'm fairly certain the answer is "no", but even if there were a way, performing a fresh installation of a newer operating system is always the cleanest way to go. JK6 is unfinished testing software, and you'd be a lot more likely to run into problems if you didn't start clean.

With that said, Titanium Backup (free version in the Market) will be your friend during the upgrade process, for keeping applications and settings most important to you. The donate version allows you to backup everything in one go, too.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Yes. On the dev section there was an odin jk6 and it did not wipe. It was pure stock though which took away root also. I'll look and see which one it was and update.
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Ok it is the woops we did it again thread
[Vibrant General] explodingboy70:
Use caution because all of what cappy said is correct.
[Vibrant General] mapinkerton:
Yes, I flashed the version on that thread through odin and it did not wipe. It was easy enough to get root back and I just had to use my titanium backup to restore my desktop layout.

I'm not sure if CWM is easily supported yet because of the different recovery version in the stock jk6, but otherwise everything works great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffinNugz:
Just curious as to why some roms will show the H for hsupa, but others won't, even when enabled and themed correctly.

ex: Assonance does, but Di11igafs and Axura does not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
By default, i9000 ROMs do that.

They must have changed it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
H means HSPA which includes both HSDPA and HSUPA

it is NOT an indication of HSUPA in itself. there is no indicator of this aside from actual speed tests

as mikey said, i9000 roms have it by default...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abezapata:
Axura is based on a vibrant rom hence it will not show the h to indicate hsupa (assuming so is diligaf). It is functioning as running a quick test of speednet shows uploads are higher than with the stock modem.

As long as its working, does it matter if it shows the h or not? Idk about you but to me it makes no difference as long as my phone is operating to its fullest potential ie not crippled by at&t.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PuffinNugz:
Right on. I understand it is working even though it doesn't show it and the H stands for both. Didn't know it was just an i9000 thing. That's all.
[Desire HD General] andreasy:
As my title says, I have 2 accounts (1 POP3, 1 IMAP - default) and I can only see my messages of the last 2 days. Now, I can't tell for sure as it was my 1st experience, but I remember that on first setup, I could see all my messages. However, I can't tell for sure. The thing is that I use IMAP and my archived emails a lot so I need to switch to a folder and see stored messages which may be too old.

Any help here?

[Vibrant General] swehes:
So I have been thinking. What would I be willing to pay for a phone off contract? Well. Bought my Vibrant for off contract, and it took a nice piece out of my wallet.

So my question is for you guys, Would you be willing to pay for a phone off contract for the right price? What would that price be?

Please leave comments on what you think. :)

I realize this is a very general question but I'm turning to my fellow Vibrant owners first. :)
[Vibrant General] emonero:
Question to you or anybody that bought it off contract...Do you guys have a data plan?
[Vibrant General] }{Alienz}{:
No data plan. The only reason I bought it off contract :)
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
I bought 2 Vibrants off contract when T-Mo had some crazy Bing cash back - like 25% or something. I do have a data plan with both.

Now, we use Even More Plus, so between the two of us we're saving something like $40/month over the rates on an equivalent Even More plan. That quickly adds up to make buying off-contract a better option if you can get phones for even slightly below MSRP, and it's an absolute no brainer for a phone enthusiast who likes to switch often and trade on Ebay or Craigslist.

I'm very disappointed that EM+ seems to be going away. It's one of the reasons I switched to T-Mobile and IMO is about the best value in mobile.
[Vibrant General] pathcafe:
Even more plus, bought off contract with payment plan (reimbursed through work though).

All of my phones eventually become my wife's phones when I choose to upgrade.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
contract is a gimmick and you eventually pay full price for phone. What do you think that extra $20 or so month goes to

my no contract Even More 500TTW is $60 on contract its $80 no thanks
[Vibrant General] a400meter:
To quickly crunch some numbers...

On contact the phone cost roughly $200 and an additional $20 a month over the EM+ plan. Over the 24 month contract that equals a $680 phone.

From my perspective anything under that price is worth it. Not to mention out of contract allows for mobile flexibility should you need it.
[Vibrant General] kronos82:
Last fathers day I wanted to cash in on the 2 free phone deal, and being an existing tmobile member for the last 5 years I was not eligible, so I called them anyways and said I have been with tmobile for the last 5 years and want to cash in on this fathers day deal, long story short........got transfered to the loyalty department and they gave me 2 free phones of my choice with the signing off a 2 year contract when my current contract is up at my same no contract rate........here is the greatest part, I can choose any phone whenever I want. so haveing the G1 for so long I said screw it I'll take a Vibrant, now I still have 1 more free phone left to get, my girl likes my vibrant, so I was thinking of handing this one to her and grabbing the Nexus S, but we will see.

Anyways the moral of the story, call and talk to someone, be calm, and ask lots of questions, they are nice at tmobile and they will bend over backwards to keep you as a customer.

Edit: I should also say that I got my G1 for $20 + $50 mail in rebate, so I ended up getting paid $30 and signed a 1 year contract at my current grandfathered rate.......just call and talk to t-mobile
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Well US phones typically have their bands locked down (or are missing bands). Mobile flexibility probably would amtter to someone who has i.e. a Nokia N8 with a pentaband radio - but a Vibrant doesn't have that.

Going on Contract is cheaper. If you ever want to switch carriers you can just ETF the contract. It goes down every month you're on the contract.

That way you don't have to come up with so much up front for the phone.

Also, you get rebates on contract phones that sometimes aren't available if you buy the phone off-contract (i.e. Web Deals, etc.).
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
If you do the calculations, off contract is cheaper in the long term.
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Not by much considerimg it's over a 2 yeat period. Mosy people don't care.

Thr upfront cost for an unlocked phone is simply too high for most.
[Vibrant General] ZX3ZX4:
For me, going off-contract was good. It saved me $20 (plus tax) a month on phone charges, and, since I am planning on keeping this phone for a while, it's more than paid for. For me, having a contract and "subsidized" phones means being locked in to the carrier, and ending up paying full price (or more) for the phone on the installment plan.
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:
On contract here. I don't think I could shell out $400+ for a phone just to be an early adopter.

I pay $120 a month for the 700 min family plan which includes my Vibrant with data, 400 texts, insurance, 2 extra lines with 400 texts each and tmobile@ home. I also get a %15 discount through my work. There is no other carrier that would come close too that price. I will always buy on contract and keep my grandfathered plan.
[Vibrant General] iLikeAndroids:
Haha i got it free from t-mobile somehow i forgot it has something to do with trading in crappy phones.
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
Two year contract got me a vibrant for free not on an upgrade ;p

The day this phone came out!!

nero beta
[Vibrant General] N8ter:
Sprint would be cheaper. They have just as good discounts as tmo, better for us, but unfortunately no service..

Oh, and unlimited texts, too.

Important on a droid... No push notifications for most (this) phone for fb/twitter.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
The vibrant actually does have 3g bands for at&t, even though what you say about missing bands is usually true.

Regarding price, if you have a data plan, em+ saves at least $20/month versus contract pricing, so for contract to be cheaper you'd need to either save $480 on a phone, (or less, if you convince tmo to give you phones more frequently).

Now I only paid $300 for our vibrants after rebates, so it was clearly cheaper in our case.

So I'm sure almost all of you were dying to try out some of these Xbox Live games MS has been boasting about for months. And now that we have them a seclection of launch titles at our fingertips I'm curious what everyone besides me thinks of them so far?

I personally downloaded each one as a trial first to get a sense of how the presentation of these games were, how responsive and intuitive the controls were and if they were really worth the $5-7 price tag.

In the end I removed a few and kept a handful which I felt were my best choices overall.

I selected my top choices as:

- de Blob Revolution

- Flight Control

- Max & The Magic Marker

- MONOPOLY

- Need for Speed Underground

- Rocket Riot

- The Harvest

- Twin Blades

- Unite (best free game)

Now I will say some of the games appear to be just ports from other phones, some appear to have slightly improved graphics while some seem the same as their HD2 version (Monopoly & Sims 3). I found the best looking games in the marketplace to be de Blob Revolution, Max & The Magic Marker and Rocket Riot. Twin Blades is great too but looks a little dull almost as if it's not meant to be played at 480x800.

What do you all think so far? Do you think the early batch of released games is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the quality of games we'll be seeing or do you all think we're seeing the full potential of what it's capable of?

I am in no ways a fan on the iPhone but will say that in comparison of quality of games on the iOS they have some pretty ridiculous games. If anyone has seen the build quality of Rage HD on iPhone it makes me cross my fingers that WP7 is capable of the same if not better.

However I've seen screen shots and footage of the upcoming game Ilomilo and it looks like it should show some better potential for much better looking games.
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
I wish they would make monopoly free.

However, with Xbox Live coming to our smartphones now, the possibilities are endless, especially with WP7. So I think games like Assassins Creed and Need for Speed make other platforms look so outdated.

In recent news, I heard Google Android is getting a bit intimidated by the WP7 update coming in January. :eek:

WP7 FOR LYFE!!!!!

WE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[HD7 General] bernaserra:
Multiplayer support, MS needs it now. I am not asking for anything real time but games like UNO or Monopoly should at least have turn by turn multiplayer. I feel that a platform based on XBOX Live should at the minimum have turn by turn.
[HD7 General] pistol44:
I agree with you both. Other OS's are looking outdated (except for the iOS).. However I'm hoping that WP7 will be able to compete soon with the visual quality of iOS games. I don't know if it's hardware limitations that's holding WP7 back on this one but they need to step it up to truly compete.

And yes MS does need to impliment true XBOX Live multiplayer into their games ASAP. I recalled the iOS having some games that you could actually play multiplayer via bluetooth I believe. I mean if you can do it on the PSP you should be able to do it here. Local multiplayer via wi-fi, turn based on the same device is mandatory, and even some other kind of true Xbox Live experience is a must.
[HD7 General] bernaserra:
Well it is currently their claim to fame, I would at least like to see it used. As far as visual quality check out ilomilo. These phones can pump out some nice graphics but its up to us to make this platform successful enough to pull in these developers.
[HD7 General] gamefrick:
I believe most of these developers already recognize the ease of use as far as developing games and apps for wp7. In a recent article, developers voiced out about wp7's flexibility and how using VB has made it very easy for them to build and deploy apps.

And BTW, there are compatibility issues using VB 2010 for development. You have the option to build your own app.

[HD7 General] pistol44:
Maybe it's not available in your region. I'm in Canada and it's one of the 1st games that show up in the Xbox Marketplace.
[HD7 General] z33dev33l:
Other OS look outdated? Android has the same assassins creed HD and has for months and has a beta port of rage HD up that easily rivals iOS. I have an HD7 and love the phone and cant wait for it to evolve in terms of games but if you think this is top-o-the line stuff then you're in for a pleasant suprise when they decide to catch up
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Interesting, didn't know they had Rage HD for Android or that it was capable of a game like that..
[HD7 General] z33dev33l:
strictly beta for the time being but I've seen it played on a captivate firsthand and its epic... In all actuality theres a few android phones that just kick the iphones hardware in the teeth. Itards just wont admit that we got something better at a lower price...
[HD7 General] DaveShaw:
Guess not :(

Thanks anyhow
[HD7 General] carmeng4evr:
Yeah, i am in the US.

I just type in Oregon trail and it shows up.

Isn't it true that some American Apps dont show up in other regions(kind of like how some Apps for Android only work for US support)
[HD7 General] pistol44:
True it is :( Just like AT&T users get a free download of that great looking game Ilomilo and it only shows up in their marketplace but if others look for it there's nothing there.

I think there's a way to trick your phone and change regions to access apps from other countries by changing the country under Settings then Region and Language. But I could be wrong..
