[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Haha, this thread is obviously just meant to poke fun, but as you can see, some people just take this so seriously sometimes...it's rather amusing

This thread will get closed, as it does in fact accomplish nothing. I just wanted, if only for a short period of time, to bring into light how much effort people put in to complaining around here. No, it is most certainly not everybody. But for crying out loud, the general section is beginning to look like an activist corner.

An outsider would come to our forum, see all those threads I posted...and probably just think of how much of an ungrateful bunch we are. I mean people have every right to their opinion, but seriously, there are enough threads to start a "hate" section.

A forum is a gathering place for opinions. A lot of people are pretty pissed at Samsung and are sharing their opinions. Just because you don't agree with them does not make them wrong.
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
Agreed 100%.
[Vibrant General] richtertrevor78:
+1 MOD please delete all the threads that are not related to anything positive. It is not what XDA is about.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
please quote which post i said their opinions are "wrong"....in fact..if you check my last post, i said that eeveryone is entitled to their opinions

HOWEVER, its not fair to the people who are making due with what we have and having fun making it better, to have their posts absolutely buried by 12+ threads complaining about LITERALLY the same issues. Its one thing to have an opinion, but its another to jam it down everyones throat in hopes that everyone will follow you.

Does more than one person have the same opinion? of course! But organize it. consolidate it. dont drown the forum in negativity. at that point its just sloppy *****ing.
[Vibrant General] dcpetterson:
Cool story bro.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
delete all threads that are not positive? thats like half the forum dude.

specially in the vibrant general since theres no froyo, theres like 560yu4506340693069340693406934 of GIMME FROYO **** U SAMSUNG THREADS.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
i agree! you wiseguys do realize that everytime you post these comments you bump this thread to the top, inadvertently supporting it, right?? thanks BRO!! :D
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
my point exactly.....i just made it a little more sarcastically ;)
[Vibrant General] Thegreatheed:
I find it rather ironic that in a developer's forum, where development ROMs with working froyo have been available and working for months, there's not only people complaining about samsung, but others defending people who aren't even willing to load a rom, root their phone or install a lagfix. Those things are fine and dandy... ... ... on any other collection of opinions on the internet, but this collection of opinions is supposed to be filled with developers, not whiners, flamers, and haters.
[Vibrant General] iwillkillyou:
Arent you complaining right now? Do you feel satisfied making another useless thread? Do you feel your part of something above yourself making this? Regardless you accomplish nothing. Your like the rest exept the dont blame it on others. Didnt mommy teach you its bad to point fingers?

Not really. Yes. No. I agree. Incorrect. Probably....

No, this has nothing to do with the Vibrant, but since you HATE my bait threads so much (and understandably so), this may be the fastest way to get it closed :)....im personally am just having a little fun at work

I just bought the game from the market after beating the free version, is their anyway to move my game save over to the paid version? If not thats a really REALLY dumb demo.

Off topic- Whats the difference the free one and the paid one, i own the paid one but i saw that there was a free one. Hopefully i didnt throw away 5 bucks :(

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] krunalkp:
as we all are into new revolution on our hd2 is windows phone 7...

i have broken back button ... and m pretty sure lot of people have done this using android on our monster HD2 ...

we had button savior software in android (available on market too) to bypass use of hard key ...

so we ware all set .. but after seeing windows phone 7 and its cool animations i love it but m not able to use it bcs i have to use back button in wp7

any developer can develop soft keys Penal which says at bottom of screen ??

i can pay for it and also that will be one and only app which would do it ...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Tung_meister:
I don't think that this would be possible with the current api's available to developers.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Marvlesz:
Well, in my prespective, I think buttons were made to be pressed.

And in the case of your broken button(s) I see that as an individual situation, I have had my HD2 for over 9 months, 6 of them were Android and my buttons look just new .

If you treat your buttons like how you treat your fingers they will live long :) . I voted no.

Still, it's just my opinion :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] drjawad:
i agree we need button savior for wp7
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] mattfmartin:
I asked jerryfan2000 if he could make it. He hadn't responded back yet.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] nilsk123:
Not possible, apps cant run in the background.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] P$YCH0:
Exactly, the os and the SDK for it are extremely limited. That's why it's so fast. Only processes made by microsoft can run in the background (media player for example).
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] daz1uk:
I would suggest in this situation that considering wp7 phones come with 3 hardware keys, it would be a possibility to remap those instead of using software keys, try looking into it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] erwinpiero:
I'm really agree with it, if it sin't possible then it would be nice to do remapping the hard key. Dial to phone, home to home screen, windows to menu and red power button leave it that way plus disengaged call.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] quanthien84tester:

vote: yes, although it seems impossible at this moment. it sometimes needs more few times as long as wm7 has just come out...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Intel_x:
Back button

how the heck you break your button and anyways is your phone take care of it is like a pussie treat it nice
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] jase33:
No........
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] archiesnet:
+1..Our phone had runned a long way and still is..Anything is possible..:D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] anrabi4:
There has to be at least one hardware key which leads to the camera app, it`s the way the OS was designed to work. The same goes for a search button, there simply has to be one. As for the others... well, they are already properly assigned. There`s not much to remap, really.

As for the OP, I really think you should flash WM 6.5 and fix your hardware buttons. As somebody else mentioned, they`re made to be pressed and used. It`s just that you need to be gentle when handling them. The HD2 is an expensive and fragile device, it`s not your regular Nokia device which can be used to break bricks...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] CrazyEye:
All my buttons work on my HD2 but I would like a second option to interact with my phone and I think the on screen buttons would be a great add-on. It would calm my nerves knowing that my buttons will be still around for the next gen OS for the HD2 :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] dody:
i would say yes just to use the call buttons and not feel i am using a toy
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] sx1987:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] yugoport:
I think no.. I'm waiting too.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Vampir1c:
The buttons being pressed constantly do cause harm but not to the buttons too. Apparently the HD2's have a design flaw where the red power button rests on top of the wiring for the digitizer so now mine as well as many others have the problem where the touch doesn't work and we have to press really hard on the red button to have it temporarily working again. I'm an Android HD2 but I'm not sure if the OS's matter, its a design flaw over all and I've heard people with even WinMo 6.5 running into this issue. I'm hoping I can squeeze some extra life into my HD2 by getting a new lcd/digitizer combo and installing it correctly.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] boyete70:
voted yes, soft keys makes me feel smooth at Android, also one more choice to operate the phone.

i did had a problem of shut down key before, that really trouble me and have no choice to fix it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] goldbeard:
I read that someone ported the Android ICS theme onto WP7 Mango with the onscreen buttons (Home, Menu and Back). If its possible, why not a soft keys throughout the OS?

here is the link:

Can somebody try the trick.. to get something similar to the soft keys on the Nokia lumia 800

sent from HD2 with mango/ android
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] pakure:
i think it is a theme on windows "mobile"..not win "phone":rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] goldbeard:
is there a difference between a "mobile" and a "phone"...just kidding ;)

seriously, i think there should be an option to use the virtual buttons in WP7 as well..hope it does...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] sexcellent:
i also think this would be a great idea. it would save users a lot of grief becaue the hd2 just like most phones nowadays (though not quite as bad) has pretty flimsy hardware buttons.

i get a cracking noise when i press the back button. then after a few presses it disappears and then reappears after i press the home or windows button. very annoying.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] jcsy:
lumia has a resolution of 480x848 while standard, its 480x800

notice the 848

the 48 additional pixels stretch to the bottom, allowing it to "emulate" soft button keys instead of hard ones

if you are willing to sacrifice 48 pixels for soft buttons, then i think its possible

maybe not, windows phone BLUGH^_^

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] GuestK00334:
Hey guys,

I am currently experimenting with different launchers. I got 3 installed right now.

HTC Sense which comes with MDJ Revolution 2.3 rom. Go Launcher, and ADW Launcher EX (which I am actually using right now).

I already used home switcher, ADW is set as default, but Go Launcher keeps loading after every reboot. Is there a simple way to disable go launcher. I don't want to manually switch to ADW every time I reboot.

boba
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
If ADW EX launcher is installed to sd that would be a reason as to why your phone doesn't start up with it first. Just move it to phone if it is in sd, and things should work now.

[EVO 4G General] trevor4g:
what do you guys tell people who aren't really tech people when they ask about your phone being the way it is? For instance when someone with the same phone as you asks about your freshly flashed screen off animation do you say, " I flashed a .zip I got from xda" or do you say, " It just came like that".

I'm just being a curious cat wondering how other people answer questions.

When I had my Hero I tried explaining things to friends/family etc. especially those who had android devices. To my dismay I actually don't know anyone who has taken the time to learn how to liberate their OS from Sprint, or really care about being the administrator of their device.

Anymore if someone notices my android is different than theirs I just say "You're probably too stupid to understand"..

Of course I'm kidding but it is a little disappointing how most people don't care wether or not they "got root"

[EVO 4G General] rstuckmaier:
I tell the truth. I will start explaining about root and how manufacturers prefer if you don't have access to certain parts of the operating system. Most people tap out here. If they don't I keep going until they get confused. If that doesn't happen I help them start the rooting process.

I've missed this from my Galaxy S too, but the best work around I've found is Quick Settings - search on appbrain (cant post links as I'm 'new') and configure it to display in the notification shade, but to hide the icon in the notification bar.

If there is another solution to properly get buttons as on the Galaxy S ROMs (other than the often suggested - "flash CM7") I'd love to hear of it though. I know the notification shade can't be edited by a simple .apk, but this isn't the first time I've seen this request and would have thought it really ought to be possible somehow without delving into the deepest darkest recesses of the android system :) -but of course I am probably wrong :D
