[Vibrant General] Scoobyracing03:
So umm why were all the thread not just merged? unless there was a bunch of rules being broken I fail to see the reason to delete threads when there is a thread merger tool in the mod control panel.
[Vibrant General] NotATreoFan:
I do not have a Vibrant, regardless of what TL chooses to believe. As for why certain threads were removed and others were not, that is because I haven't gotten to them yet. After deleting 60+ threads, I needed a break.
[Vibrant General] Poser:
The job you guys do is not an enviable task... and I think you guys get it right 99.999% of the time. I just think that you guys can exercise a higher level of discretion when it comes to deleting the post of a quality contributor... especially given context.
[Vibrant General] jellette:
You think we can lock this thread now? It is obvious that there will be neither any progress towards to a resolution of an unevenly distributed unwritten policy made, nor will there be a retraction made by the Mod, and this is only going to end in an even more unfair refraction or banning.
[Vibrant General] NotATreoFan:
I will close this thread in a few minutes. However, in the interest of compromise, you can create a new discussion thread. If you want to, and I will not close/delete it. However, this is with the understanding that any other threads, regardless of who the OP is, will be removed without notice.

Fair compromise?
[Vibrant General] jellette:
To be honest, I pushed my boundries a little here. I will respect your original decision and not repost a new topic. I understand, really, with the flood of posts that came through that there was no way to determine what was what.

I believe my respecting your decision is a more appropriate compromise.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
Thats awesome, everyone *****ed at me for criticizing the over-whining thats been going on...thanks for cleaning it up!

I cant believe you guys have the audacity to criticize the mod for deleting them....there have been dozens threads started in the last week ALONE about lack-of-froyo/screw-samsung/froyo-ota

no one knows how to stick with one thread anymore, there is absolutely no need for the first page of the vibrant general forum to consist of all similar topics...NONE....who the hell cares who started the first one, this isnt a popularity contest, the OP didnt release the OTA...samsung did...one dedicated thread is all we need because all of these threads say the same damn thing
[Vibrant General] jellette:
That seems to be kind of an inflamatory response. I'm trying to show respect for the mod at this point and concede.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
i realize that, but why does it matter who started the original thread (if we can even pinpoint that), again its not a popularity contest. im not trying to attack you, but it just seemed like the mod was getting ripped for doing exactly what he is supposed to do.....to complain that he deleted the "original thread" just doesnt make sense, as long as there is a dedicated thread that should be the only concern
[Vibrant General] Gigamaster89:
My thread was meant to be humorous and is not directly related to the update yet it got deleted :mad:
[Vibrant General] jellette:
He was getting ripped and it wasnt fair. Even less fair was him aggreeing to compromise in the end. That is why I wanted to put this thing to rest.
[Vibrant General] Insomaniac10:
sorry i flipped out, i kind of took my frustration out on you. it was so annoying to see a new froyo thread pop up every 2 hours. and the humor ones are just as bad^^^^

the reason its important is because its not fair to members who are posting unique threads, some who need help with problems, to have their threads get buried almost instantaneously beneath these duplicate, garbage, unproductive threads. and i support and applaud the mod who finally cracked down on this.

nothing personal to you man, just explaining why i kind of freaked out.
[Vibrant General] RobBull69:
I personally didn't like that Heathen's thread got taken down, but cab absolutely see why. The general section has turned into 4Chan recently. Glad some of the obvious trolls got the banhammer: )

Sent from my frozen yogurt powered Vibrant
[Vibrant General] NotATreoFan:
I appreciate the response from everyone, and although it took me a bit, I'm gonna close this down as everything seems to be resolved. If anyone does want to discuss further, I am only a PM away.
[Defy General] bobbyphoenix:
OK, so this is annoying me. If my phone is flat on the table, and I ever so slightly press the screen or soft keys on the left side, the screen has a tendency to switch to landscape mode as if I fully tilted it that way. It only does it on the left. I can almost tilt it completely to the right before it switches that way. Now if I hold it vertical I have to literally turn it all the way on its side to switch to landscape, but like I said, if it's just sitting flat on a table it just likes to switch so easily. Any other like this?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Phone Titan:
Hi,

There hasn't been much if any news about duel core WP7 devices. It would be nice if M$ or any of the manufactures would update us on their newer devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
I don't know how the cores dueling is going to help performance but I'd like to see some 'duel' core phones too.

Dual core phones would be nice too;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
It would be nice if we could change the CPU like a desktop or laptop (that is not made by Apple obviously), unfortunately, that wouldn't be happening anytime soon.

Oh right, I have a feeling that we will see them when people actually care.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the_scotsman:
I still can't see why so many people keep talking about dual core phones.

There are no operating systems or even apps that would be able to utilise a dual core system, so there would be zero benefit.
[Windows Phone 7 General] landwomble:
What applications do you have that need dual cores?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
Totally agree, that's my thoughts ;D I got Omnia7 for 600$ which is very low in my country, but those with dual cores will cost 200$ or even more, than I got my Omnia7. And the benefits from them? Now there are none
[Windows Phone 7 General] canadariot2312:
Only games for the most part. Imagine dual core right now like quad core for your computer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MrAndrewAu:
It was said that the upcoming OS update would bring support to the Qualcomm 7x30 chip, which is an improved version of the current Snapdragon but unfortunately is not dual core.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
There are no games created to be laggy on single core 1Ghz processor now. And Well, I don't want to play super duper games, that eat a lot of power, I have PSP and Computer for them. For simpler games, they work perfectly now
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Eh, my single core runs WP7 games smoother than androids dual cores run their games mainly because of things like multi-tasking and improper use of hardware. I still dont think android has a game that can go toe to toe with ilomilo in terms of... well... anything amd it runs flawlessly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Really? Please do some research, as this is a topic that is full of BS lies. There are a lot of games that lag on 1ghz, especially the new ones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Your WP7 isn't even capable of running the new games, so how is that possible?
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
On WP7? Well, I don't play need for speed and games that requires a lot resources, because that's why computers and PSPs are
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
What do you mean by "the new ones" because I have every game released with heavy graphics and the only slow point in the games is the initial startup which im ok with.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Need for speed doesn't use a lot of resources.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
No you don't because they're not on WP7. IOS and Android only right now.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Niiceg:
My mind was that I don't play games which uses a lot of resources, phones are not for them...
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Like what? on android? the only playable game on there that doesnt have a port to WP7 is angry birds

Iphone of course has rage HD which is awesome but even ilomilo has better graphics than any android game and thats an early game. Best game on android that doesnt have a port aside from angry birds... probably dungeon hunter HD... graphics are about at par with my old sega saturn.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Yeah you're clueless. Try Dungeon Defenders along with a host of others.

Ilomo has better graphics? Who has the better gaming engine?

Please do some research, please.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
Honestly wasnt aware they finally released that. Android finally has something over WP7 in my opinion. That's cool really, i envy that game but meh, one game isnt going to sale me over a fluid user friendly UI but no sarcasm or anything I really am envious of that game and with windows and unreal being tied together so much I'd love to see a port. I guess I havent paid that much attention to android since that game was in it's beta stage.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harvey_Danger:
Hi guys,

I'm no stranger to rooting and installing ROMs, but doing so with ADB is completely new to me. I just got a G2 at the beginning of January, upgrading from a G1.

I spent about two hours trying to get the Android SDK and ADB working properly on my computer. Now ADB can see my phone, but when I try to do the first part of the temp root process from the wiki:

$ adb push su /sdcard/su

I get a permission denied error. I'm not supposed to be getting this, right? The gfree_temp-root.zip files are extracted to the folder where ADB is, and I can see in the prompt that ADB is trying to work, but I always get this error, and I don't want to continue until I know what's supposed to be happening. USB debugging is enabled and the terminal emulator app is installed. The sd card is mounted by the phone, not the computer. I still have 7+ GB left on the sd card.

$ adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk

gives me permission denied, too.

I've never installed Visionary or any other temp root app. The closest solution to this problem I saw was in response to a guy who had installed Visionary before, and so didn't need to worry about having superuser permissions. The only reason I could find that this might not work is because of stuff about rolling back OTA updates.

Thanks for any responses. Let me know if you need any more info.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
I just used this method last night. Make sure you have USB debugging on first of all and make sure you don't have the "USB connected" option ticked when it prompts you. You want that off.

I had the permission denied too but when I turned off the USB Connection that mounts my sd card, I got it to work. Good luck!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
The weird part is he specifically says he checked those things (USB debugging enabled and the SD card not mounted to the computer). Not sure why he'd be getting a permission denied (reading/writing from the SD card should not have any problems).

What OS are you running ADB on? And maybe this is a silly question but you are running the commands from your computer and not the terminal on your phone, right?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harvey_Danger:
That did it! Thanks, I am now perm-rooted and ready to overclock. :)

I think I misspoke (typed?); when I said it was mounted by the phone, I meant I had selected to turn USB storage on with the phone. I thought I remembered seeing a way to do it through the computer, but I'm probably wrong. Either way, turning USB storage off fixed it, and now that I think about it, I understand why I would be getting permission denied. I guess I didn't fully understand what the wiki meant by "Make sure your phone's sdcard is mounted by your phone and not your computer when following these instructions."

For the record I'm using Windows 7 Professional, and installing ADB was a project in and of itself. Don't know if anyone else had problems with it.

Thanks for your help everyone. This is a great forum. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LGS1231:
Great! Glad to be joined by another newly rooted user! CM7 Gingervillain is a great ROM, and I recommend you flash that. It already has an OC kernal built in so it's less work. All you would have to do is flash CM7 and then get SetCPU.

I love being rooted! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harvey_Danger:
Edit: nevermind, I saw there was a superuser permission pop-up on my phone that I wasn't seeing before.

Do the nightly builds have 4G working yet? It's not a huge deal because I use wifi at home, but it would be nice to keep 4G on there.
[G Tablet General] copc:
I was reading around it is seems the vibe going around is that Honeycomb may only be released for tablets.

http://www.tabletpcreview.com/default.asp?newsID=1906&news=google+android+os+honeycomb+tablets

It seems that the phones will stay with 2.x right now and

Tablets will be on 3.X

I guess there is even a leak that version 2.4 will be called ice cream?

They say down the line they plan on merging both OS's and all phones and tablets will run on the same. But until then...

Just found that interesting.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I'm seeing conflicting 'news' all over the place about this. I need to find a source I was just reading earlier with the lead engineer stating that it will be on phones. I think the confusion is in the fact that it's primarily catering to bigger screens and thus tablets as a focus - but I feel that initially it will be introduced on smartphones at the same time as tablets....meaning, it's not like the LG phone X released on July 10 will come with Android 2.3 and the LG tablet X released on July 5 will come with Honeycomb. It's a situation where they're optimizing the code for dual core cpus and bigger screens and modem-less devices and that pans out to seeming as if phones are left behind, but it's not so. Will look for what I read earlier.

Update:

these don't look familiar, but they work.

[G Tablet General] rushless:
Bunch of conflicting stuff. Perhaps by design, since Android may be battling inside in regards to keeping one OS platform or maintaing two now? I see no practical way to maintain one.

My guess is we will see two "platforms", kind of like iPhone & iPad. Similar guts, but different specific focus for each. JMO.

The other option is to have one really big a55 rom with both. Quite a few 512mb roms used on devices that would choke. Space is already cramped on some current 2.2 devices.
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
This is my assumption also. I thought it was smart that Google split the OS's up because right now I don't see a big distinction between tablets and smartphones except for the size of the screen. I think Apple will eventually have a tablet specific iOS.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I'm not so sure. I mean, I agree with you, but in a different way. Obviously mid-low to low end devices that are running with 1GB of storage or less would be left behind so to speak, sooner than later. I mean, I think most people understand that you get what you pay for. You buy a smartphone for 50 dollars on contract vs. those going for 199 then you may lose out at some point. Most of the mid-high to higher end Android devices since all the way back to June of last year are using 2GB+ internal storage which means the possibility is there to use bigger ROMs if necessary. We still can't account for 2GB of ROM in our newer HTC phones despite being blessed with 4GB.

If Android does indeed fragment at 2.3, I'd certainly have no problem with that - what I def. don't want to see is Android 3.0 and then 2.4, 2.5, etc for phones. I'd honestly rather they rename a separately focussed OS something else, like Cyborg...lol. Let 3.0 come and be the uniting point for any and all devices that can run it well, and move up from there. And let the others work with 2.3.

I want Android for early 2010 and older (depending on CPU and storage of course) to be the breaking point. I'm not talking about phones with 1Ghz CPUs and 8GB on board, I'm talking stuff with 512MB ROM and 600Mhz CPUs for example, to cut off at that point - so there's no zero confusion.

Then, I want anything released in 2011, be it low end or not, to support the next clean generation of Android...so, Honeycomb, Ice Cream, Jello, whatever.

People are talking about how apps need to be optimized for bigger screens and it requires separate code because 'stretching' doesn't work all the time. I agree, but I don't think it's worthwhile to have separate apps. 1 app that detects a screen size and 'changes' to match would do, no? Maybe it's possible with honeycomb :)

So, as I mentioned I do agree in that there are somewhat 2 platforms, in a way. But I disagree about each focusing on something different like iPad and iPhone apps...the only capacity in which I'd like to see them diverge is have 2.3 go to the phones that are more or less obsolete because of space or cpu constraints, and then honeycomb+ come to everything both tablet and phone.
[G Tablet General] copc:
from what I read, that is why they are saying honeycomb is not coming to the phones. all of the graphics would be too small, as it is designed for larger screens.

I guess it is all guessing as only Google knows.
[HD2 General] kuzibri:
Hi All,

when will there be a XDA Developer's app released for WinMo? The Android version is almost one year old and still no signs of a WinMo version. I'm very disappointed by that, cause I use this site everyday, are pretty active on it and still not able to use my HD2 (except via browser of course), to have access to it by using a, for WinMo developed, app. And to be very clear about my question, no I'm not going to think of using Android for that.

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] wrecless:
I have tested this with DHD builds only but I'm sure it works with any build as long as you have adb intsalled.

1st. Download and unzip the attached file

2nd. Add the Framework-res.apk of your choice to the extracted folder

3rd. Plug your phone into your computer with USB debug on and Charge only selected.

4th. Click Change framework in the folder that you extracted and added the framework to.

This will cause your phone to reboot. Now you will have to re-enter your Google and HTC accounts.

It's funny cause I've tried everything that suppopsedly works for everyone else, such as copying and pasting with root explorer, or using droid explorer but it won't connect properly. Then to top it all off adb push can't push unless its bootlooping. I feel like I just can't win sometimes...
