thanks bud, for the beta-notification. signed up. looks pimp.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pdaddy:
If anyone gets a beta email, keep us informed of your experience with it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
Oh man this reminds me of the Windows Mobile days with SPB shells and such. Signed up for the beta even if it is a little flashy.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fastfed:
Yea I thought I remembered that loll..no thanks will probably be a barry hog..

thanks for posting!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
I am assuming you meant Battery Hog? I know that the true results can only be seen from first hand usage, but a quote from their site sounds promising:

"Device battery life is a fundamental bottleneck of modern smartphones. SPB UI Engine is designed, from ground up, bearing power consumption in mind at every design step.

Battery life tests confirm that, UI designs powered by SPB UI Engine - despite of wearing more advanced visual effects - consume less battery power than popular UI solutions from top device manufactures, and even less than that consumed by the vanilla Android shell, in typical Home screen user scenarios."

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] R32_Rocky:
I paid for the Windows Mobile 6.5 version of SPB on my old T-Mobile HTS HD2, and I loved it! For WinMo, it was a very well made program. So looks like I will sign up for this. And hopefully (????), as I no longer have my HD2, they might let me carry over my purchase to their upcoming Android version . . . . .

Even though I have to admit that SPB has a nice UI and I tried it on my TP and TP2 it is a battery and memory hog that I think I will pass on cause the Evo has enough battery issues.

I remember when Shell came out for Window Mobile..Videos looked great etc but wasn't all that when it came out..Hopefully this is different.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] R32_Rocky:
Well hell! When Gates first showed off Windows (286 I think the first one was called???), it was not even real or functional. It was all "smoke & mirrors". But look where MS Windows is today?

I used up to Ver 5 of SPB Shell on my HD2, and I liked it a lot. But it was sort of a toss-up as to which one to keep on. See, both Sense and Shell had different pluses and minuses. Each had features I wanted, but neither had those at the same time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] devnulldroid:
Looks very interesting. One can tell a lot of work has gone into this and it is sleek, speedy and sophisticated..

Looking forward to seeing what it can do on the HTC EVO and the Android platform as a whole. My Fedora goes off to the folks who made this. :)

Thank you for your interest in the

end user version of SPB Mobile Shell 5.0. > At the moment we released SPB Mobile Shell for OEM and carriers only. If we release SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 for end users, you'll be able to install the trial version of SPB Mobile Shell on your device and try it. Since integration with hardware takes time it was important for us to release an OEM version of SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 as soon as possible. Our decision to target device manufactures and mobile operators with the initial release doesn’t mean that we are not going to release SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 to end users directly. So far we have not had any announcements regarding SPB Mobile Shell 5.0 availability for the open market. > Please subscribe to our newsletter in order to stay informed about the latest news

[G Tablet General] KushyMansbridge:
Thanks to robeert and everyone for all there work I officially love the gtab. Bring t really upsets me that you pay four hundred bucks for something and then have to depend on hoping some awesome programmer out there takes the time to make your device work great.

Like the PSP that work great out the box, yet we hacked it for the fun of it.

The grab had to be hacked just to make it work like the manufacturer said it would.

Now to the title of this post, VS advertise this tablet as have Flash out of the box even on the box and now its been what three months since its release and still no flash. If you ask me this is ground for a false advertisement Sue.

I'm just woundering what this community would think bout going through wth that?

Thanks for any respond.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Class action? :)

They should have altered the boxes as soon as they found out that Flash wasn't coming. As easy as a sticker on the side to block out the Flash logo. My 2 cents.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Maybe we can get free bumpers :D;)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
CA suit would only have grounds if you could not get a refund for the product. Keeping it past a return policy window would make the case as solid as the girls that sued McDonalds in New York- for making them fat.

Why would you be compelled to sue when you state you like the device and could easily return the device or install Flash yourself (as most Android users do anyway)?

All moot anyway, since the VS VP, Hanin already stated they will post the Flash beta this week.
[G Tablet General] MDMTahiti:
Waa Waa Waa!

If you are reading this forum, you know of all the fixes for the gtab. They are easy to install, and the device is solid. If you don't like the gtab, sell it or take it back. You would be hard pressed to show that you have any damages by the device not having flash from the manufacturer. I like my gtab, and would not take it back for any of these issues.
[G Tablet General] Fyras:
I'll buy it :)
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think to sue a company for something that isn't really in there control and that is easy to find out what happened would be dumb.

I also think Viewsonic should have a sticker on the box with a little short explanation.

I think it falls under the "Stuff" happens category and shouldn't be made a big deal.

Maybe we should sue all the people that like to sue all the people.....

If you don't like it, take it back... Mentality nowadays is to just try and screw everyone over for every little thing... I don't get it....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NoFatePPC:
Well , since android/htc cant synchronise exchange tasks.. Is there a tool that only does this job?

I found roadsync and touchdown , but those apps are complete for email/calendar ...

I just need a tool that can synchronise tasks with exchange 2003 and up

Any1?
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
Thought this was worth sharing. Sztupy over in the i9000 forums created a recovery that does everything clockwork does and more that has a "Full (multi-)touch screen interface." Very cool! Going to read up on it some more as I'm not sure how compatible if is for the Vibrant yet. Looks like it would be a very nice recovery option though.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881832
[Vibrant General] blanked:
Worries me a bit. The more complicated the recovery the more prone to problems it is. Recovery is one of those places that you really don't want to have bugs.

But who knows, perhaps it's totally solid and my concerns are unfounded.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Whitehawkx Thanks for heads up I ll read on it sounds promising
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Supercurio (Voodoo kernels) stated in a tweet that though this is a MAJOR dev, he did not agree with the unsafe mount options.

This absolutley could turn out to be a great new recovery, but I am going to stick with plain jane that works until this is rock solid. Big kudos to that developer though, a touch screen recovery would be pretty awesome.
[Vibrant General] 12paq:
Man, it would. I can't use RM to access the new Voodoo 5 CW. Have to go recovery via a boot menu or buttons. But agreed still like the stable simple RomManager and ClockWork for now... would be nice to have a stable option tho..

Axura 2.2 Voodoo 5 JK6 via the XDA app
[Vibrant General] Whitehawkx:
I might have mis-interpreted this post and if I did I apologize. I saw the same tweet you are referring to but do not believe Curio was saying the recovery was using unsafe mount options. He was referring to the unsafe mount options used in the Ultimate Lagfix (ULF) kernels, which was developed by the same person, sztupy. The recovery itself looks to be amazing though. :)

DUDE THATS BADASS!

hope we get it for vibrant, but think about it..

the reason its volume buttons right now is to be safe, if it was touchscreen you could EASILY accidentally click something like WIPE ALL CACHE AND DATA

which IS irreversible.

BUT this is useful for people whos volume buttons don't work quite as well.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammalkingster:
Hello.

I wanted to try out the froyo for trout rom but now i am stuck @ the tmobile g1 screen.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825716

I had a stock G1, with stock SPL (HBOOT-0.95.0000), stock recovery , stock radio (2_22_19_26I) and Android 1.6. DRC92.

- rooted it with AndRoot method (w/o installing Superuser).

- went into adb and pushed flash_image and RA's recovery 1.6.2 and installed it

- wiped /system in adb

- wiped /data /cache again in RA's recovery

- flashed the zip

- rebooted

now i am stuck at g1 screen.

(i left it there for about 10-15 min until i pulled out the battery)

i can still go into ra's recovery, adb and mount sdcard, retried wiping and flashing the froyo for trout 2 times, still the same.

looked trough for similar problems but didn't find any solutions as far as i can figure.

*** EDIT - i did more searching and i found this post - Tips for fixing a bad SPL flash - AKA phone stuck on G1 logo

is this what i have ?

i installed HardSPL, flashed the F4T rom again and it still freezes at G1 Tmob screen.

HardSPL works because if i press end+back it boots into it and it enables fastboot if connected to pc.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jammalkingster:
since this was my only phone and nothing seemed to do the trick, i goldcarded my sdcard and went back to stock firmware (DRC92).

but i would like to know what i did wrong so that i can have 2.21

i'll be more careful and do a backup first though.

Noticed that you only get 15 mins to assess purchases not the usual 24hrs what's going on ?
[Desire HD General] henv:
That is the new policy from Google. Nothing wrong with your phone.

Sent from HD2
[Desire HD General] foxmeister:
Google changed the policy because 24 hours was way too long - lots of developers were complaining that people were buying their applications using to do whatever they needed to do, and then getting refund. In the case of games, you could complete many of them in 24 hours.

IMO, 15 minutes is far too short now - an hour would've been fairer.

doesn't give you time to assess especially the more expensive ones ...
[Epic 4G General] DrBouvenstein:
A little over a week ago I upgraged to a 2.2 ROM on my Epic (DK28.) I was getting all sorts of weird, random issues. Sometimes LauncherPro would force close (almost always after a reboot,) sometimes my wifi would lock up when trying to turn it on (only fixable via reboot...which then caused the aforementioned LauncherPro force close..) and my log viewer would fill up with thousands of errors in just a couple hours...most of them said "AudioDeviceManager" or something like that.

So last night I decided to go back to DI18, and now I'm having worse problems. I flashed it with Odin, and it seemed to be fine at first, but then a little while later I kept getting android.acore.process force closes every five seconds, making my phone completely unusable. I did another reset to DI18 with Odin, and this time it worked fine the rest of the night and into today, although I was still getting thousands of errors an hour in my log...

About an hour ago today, I went to just open my calendar and it force closed every time I tried...so I rebooted, and since that reboot I have gone back to having android.acore.process force closes every three to five seconds. I have rebooted several times, pulled the battery and left it out for a while before rebooting, rebooted without the SD card, every time I get that. I'm at work so I can't try another reset back to DI18, but I'm afraid I'll have the same problems...should I attempt to exchange the phone with Sprint?
[Epic 4G General] brian_hoffman:
I would boot into clockwork and delete dalvik cache and data.

Then I would do ODIN again.

Then I would re-root with clockwork and wipe again X3

Good luck!
[Epic 4G General] sniperkill:
No, he shouldn't have to do any of that, cuz Odin will overwrite everything on the phone. Try downloading the DI18 Md5 tar file again and re-flashing..

On another note, you got this thead in the wrong section. It should be in "General" or "Questions"...

[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
This is NOT, and I repeat NOT a guide for rooting. It is a warning. Helpful advice if you will. It is here to deter you from making your life as well as those here who help others a nightmare. We are here to help those who want to help themselves. As mentioned in another thread, this forum is here to HELP people. This advice is here to help as helping also includes prevention. The advice below is for the sole purpose of preventing those who don't know what they're doing from bricking their devices prematurely.

If you don't like my advice or my opinion; that is your given right. Remember the forum rules and keep it impersonal, clean and respectful.

I am here to help people and if that includes encouraging members to learn first before they do harm to their device then so be it. If I can prevent even one person from ruining their phone before they learn how to use it then I accomplished something.

Note: Whosdaman; please feel free to move this to whatever section you feel this better fits in. I took a shot putting it here.

Disclaimer/Advice/Humble Opinion:

My advice (without trying to hurt anyone's feelings too much) is DON'T ROOT. I would suggest you familiarize yourself with everything (Linux, ADB, XDA, Google) before diving in head first.

Despite popular belief, having root does NOT in fact make you cooler.

Way too many new users are trying to root because they think it's cool or heard it's cool. Well; it's not cool to be a n00b and attempt root. You need to learn your device first.

If you don't know how to perform a Nandroid backup, or restore a previous ROM backup, flash updates, install custom ROM's, boot into Safe mode, Mount R/W, run shell commands or Terminal Emulator etc, then you should NOT root. You should browse the forums here, read, read and re-read everything until you know it well. Google search related topics. Exhaust all available avenues, then ask questions. After you've executed all of these options you might consider rooting and starting to tinker with your device.

If you don't even know what some of the things are that were mentioned, then you should absolutely NOT root your phone. You will likely brick or screw up your phone and then be right back here asking for help in a new thread most definitely created by you out of haste or costing [insert phone manufacturer/carrier here] money by sending your phone back and asking for a replacement simply because you had no idea what you were doing. JMHO

#include <std_disclaimer.h>

/*

* Rooting voids your warranty.

*/

Again, this is not here to offend anyone's sensitivity or hurt your feelings. Many have argued that bricking and recovery is the way they learn. That's fine [for them]. I highly doubt those same people started running before walking, or walking before crawling. But the majority of people need to learn first. Preventing someone from ruining their device is MY best advice.
[myTouch 4G General] bubonik:
I didn't know android had a safe mode.

1.) Power Off>remove battery>WAIT for at least two minutes.

2.) Power On Phone while Holding MENU key until you get to the lock screen>At the bottom left corner of the display in transparent text will be the words "Safe Mode"

When in safe mode, Android does not load any third-party apps, and you can uninstall the application that gave you trouble from Settings > Applications > Manage applications.

To exit Safe Mode:

1.) Power off phone again>remove battery>wait two minutes

2.) Do a normal power on ...
[myTouch 4G General] jjjackson56:
So after reading this I still couldn't figure out how to get this root stuff you were talking about. I don't know what this "search" or "google" is. But if this makes me cool then I'm all about it- maybe I could get a girlfriend finally.
[myTouch 4G General] t-mo123:
WHY?

The advice, while a successful deterrent, is not very useful. If people are here on this website, chances are they are here to learn something new about how to improve or customize their phones. We were all noobs at one point in time an I know that I benfited greatly from all the guides and reference threads here. Why not post some links to some helpful threads and say "Read these BEFORE you try anything," not "Don't try it at all and if you want to do it, find your own way to." Just a thought.
[myTouch 4G General] CBConsultation:
And that is exactly my advice. LEARN FIRST. Browse through the threads and see how many are beginners who jumped too soon and are now asking for help. It's ridiculous. If you don't like my advice move on and troll another thread. Many here agree with what I've suggested. Take it or leave it.

In my experience, the ones who have a problem with this are the ones who are guilty of it. People who want to be 'cool' and root without learning then clutter the forums begging for help.
[myTouch 4G General] DaMaceMan:
Honestly I think you're making a sweeping generalization assuming that anyone who roots their phone without reading everything there is to read first is just trying to be "cool".

Granted, there are a lot of folks out there that could stand to take a lesson or two in common sense, but I don't think it does anyone any good to tell all the "n00bs" to essentially eff off until they've done more research than I think most people on this forum who've successfully rooted would normally do.

There are numerous disclaimers that tell people to stay away from rooting unless they either know what they're doing or are willing to take a risk, and there are numerous people who learn by doing rather than reading.

In fact I would venture a guess that, were people to subscribe to your suggestion, this forum and indeed the entire Android dev ecosphere would suffer greatly, because many devs learn by tweaking and fixing... usually something that they themselves broke!

I don't ask that you change your opinion. Simply that you ask yourself what you really hope to accomplish with this post. It would seem to me that the people you hope to deter would just be insulted and ignore it.

As a previous poster had mentioned, it would be more convincing if you provided resource links to help educate those you are trying to reach.

Also, before you sling that "troll" moniker my way as you did a previous poster, you might do well to remember that just as you have the right to post your opinion, others have the right to disagree.
