Hey guys,

Just to let you know me and my friends have a blog at: http://tech-gizmo.com/

It'd be awesome if you could check it out.

Thanks,

HCDR.Jacob
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
will do mate, going to check it out now:D

nice work, bookmarked and will be back
[Wildfire General] Alex_GP:
It would be nice to have a link exchange area on the forum.
[Mobile Ad Networks] hyperbyteX:
I am wondering how admob pays developers. I have set up a merchant account and have been selling apps for a couple of weeks now, but how exactly does admob give you money from ad revenue? Do they use your banking info from the merchant account on google check out, or do they do it another way?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Anderdroid:
AdMob writes checks and supports PayPal. I personally do PayPal.

They pay on a net "40" schedule, which means December's earnings will be "processed" on February 10th and sent around the 15th.

I can definitely recommend AdMob as a Publisher. Click through rates are outstanding and I am very happy with the profits that I have gotten from AdMob. Just don't ask users to click Ads for any reason.
[Mobile Ad Networks] hyperbyteX:
thanks, any tips on increasing revenue? I just launched an ad based game today but I've only made like 22 cents so far
[Mobile Ad Networks] Gahh Its Lee:
This is probably a dumb idea but put it somewhere people would accidentally hit a lot.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Anderdroid:
Please don't do this. First off you risk being banned, second off it's click fraud and in the end hurts AdMob, Android and Mobile as a whole. Developers advertise on AdMob. If some advertiser pays AdMob, then gets a bunch of click fraud clicks, that aren't going to put any more money into AdMob. Which puts AdMob down money. Which means they can put out less money to the publishers.
[Mobile Ad Networks] hyperbyteX:
@Anderdroid - how successful are your ads that you get, if you dont mind me asking (e.g., how many impressions, click rates, etc do your apps usually get) and is it one main app or balanced between several?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Gahh Its Lee:
Sorry about that... Every thing iI've seen with admob always has ads where I hit them by mistake so I figured that was the general idea. Also I felt bad so I decided to bump with this post.
[Mobile Ad Networks] jug6ernaut:
Click fraud? I've never heard of this term b4. wether they click by accident or on purpose they sol end up seeing the ad so imo everyone wins. But I would hardcore cap this fraud...fraud would be doing something like making a click through button where the user thinks he is clicking on ones thing but actually clocks on an ad. Again this its primarily my opinion and I doubt it makes snt diferent in the world lol.

[Mobile Ad Networks] Lakers16:
Actually, it doesnt really matter if you put ads where people are likely to press them. Admob automatically adjusts how much you earn based on how successful your clicks are. For example, if someone clicks an ad, and actually goes on to buy the product or download the app, admob tracks this. If you have a bunch of clicks where the person immediately hits back, admob will lower your rates to balance this out.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Anderdroid:
How are you sure about this? I haven't heard anything like this before.

I have read tons of complaints about Advertisers in regards to the quality of clicks on AdMob... So much that I'm even avoiding advertising on it.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Lakers16:
Because thats how online advertising has always worked.

If I own a website, and have ads for a product, some places will offer a small percentage of the sale if a person buys something and was navigated there by my website.
[Mobile Ad Networks] jug6ernaut:
Pretty sure this is incorrect in regards to admob.e

Sent from my Nexus One
[Mobile Ad Networks] Lakers16:
Admob completely controls how much you make per click. Apps that are more prone to misclicks will see a higher click %, but roughly the same eCPM as apps that keep the ads off to the side.
[Mobile Ad Networks] dbroid:
are there any specific guidelines?
[Mobile Ad Networks] appyhand:
Guidelines for admob here: support.google.com/admob/answer/1307237?hl=en

Guidelines for android+admob here: developer.android.com/training/monetization/ads-and-ux.html

These guidelines are generic enough to be applicable to other ad networks and other platforms

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jM2.me:
Okay I finally got mine. Problem: device auto locked itself or screen went of and caused device to lock itself again.

here is simple procedure.

1. Plugin your phone and unlock it, let it stay on main screen.

2. Run Chevron and quickly unlock the device, if failed, try again and it should unlock 2nd time if 1st didnt work. Once unlocked close Chevron

3. Now touch or move screen so it doesnt go to sleep.

4. Install xap that removes auto-lock. You have to find one or make one yourself.

Note: Make sure time between unlocking and installing xap is as short as possible.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfld:
Has anyone on loaded the htc ringtone trimmer on a aosp rom? Is there a valid apk floating around? Most people say to use ringdroid, but i like the htc cutter better.

If anyone has an apk that works on any CM roms i would appreciate it!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Biofall:
That application shouldn't work on an AOSP ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] the_mig:
I have been trying to get VVM to work on an AOSP rom (Evervolv) and came across a fix that Duvalbmarley posted. I had to take one extra step to get it to work by sending the "activate@vvm.sprint.com" message from the voice mail application. For those of you that want to try it, here is a step by step for what I did, similar to Marley's post... all credit to Marley!

1. Copy a VVM apk to your SD card. Make sure you use an apk and not a zip file from a Sense rom. I have attached the apk that I pulled from the zip file that worked for me.

2. Have a Sense rom and AOSP. I have been running both Myn and Evervolv so I have them both. You can either flash them fresh or install them from a nand backup.

3. Using the Sense rom, make sure your VVM is working. I think it's helpful to send yourself a message from another phone to confirm it's working.

4. Once verified, run a Titanium Backup of the voice mail application. Since VVM is pre-installed in most (all?) sense ROMs, Titanium Backup will only backup the data.

5. Either nand backup or flash your AOSP rom. Whichever you do, make sure you don't have a copy of VVM already installed.

6. Find VVM apk on your sd card and install it using a program like "File Manager" or "Astro" file manager.

7. Got to Titanium Backup and restore Voice Mail. It should give you the "restore data" only.

8. Open up VVM. If you didn't delete your test email, you should see it in your voice mail list.

9. (This step may not be necessary for everyone, but I had to do it.) In the VVM program menu, compose a short message (couple seconds) and in the "to" box type "activate@vvm.sprint.com" and choose send.

10. Leave another voice mail for yourself from another phone and confirm that it works!

You will continue to get the "9016" text message, but you should be able to eliminate that by running an alternative messaging app like Handcent and blacklisting that number. Make sure you turn off notifications in the stock messaging app, or the 9016 will continue to show up.

Worked perfect on the latest CM7 nightly
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cemian:
Has anyone gotten sprint visual voicemail working without the titanium back up step? Can we get it working without re flashing a previous rom and backing up the vmm data then flashing again the cm7 rom? Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] the_mig:
I found that after you do it once it works for future rom updates if you don't wipe full.

I was having the mandatory update problem, and then getting a general failure. I suspect that when another update comes out, i may have to go through the process again. But I was reading another thread about needing the sprint installer apk to make the voicemail update work. I dont know. But mine works perfectly for now!

[Samsung Mesmerize] Sighcosis:
Admittedly I am still wrapping my brains around all this.

I am understanding that when we flash something we don't actually do anything with the Phone or Radio portion do we ?

If that is the case. The computer part if the SGS phones are basically the same as far as hardware.

If I am incorrect please let me know as it will completely alter my understanding of what we are doing when we flash and MOD ..

I have been picking through the file system and have not found anything that actually controls the radio. But then there are also more than a few files I am unsure of.

HELP!!! After all upgrades I lost GSM signal, it receives but very weak, most of the time no service. At present I have v8.1.1 with Jpe modem and I had no problem for about ten minutes after upgrade and then signal disappeared in front of my eyes. I tried to flash jm9 with jm4 modem with no success, joy with joy modem the same no signal. Wifi works as before but no phone. Don't know what to do.

Google voice is free forever spammer 1 post
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jerdog:
Yeah Google Voice is free forever - but this isn't a Google Voice app. Google Voice (yet) doesn't do VOIP - you still have to use the voice call network not 3G/4G/Wifi.

This is another SIP-based VOIP app, which does offer some of the features of Google Voice like visual voicemail, but it's not a spammer post. It's a valid application which looks to combine voice features like Skype along with GV features.

Thanks Craigster for the app. Not interested in spending $10/mo, but I am sure some will find it useful - especially if you want a "business line".
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] callif:
Line2 is a PROFESSIONAL voice management system appropriate for small businesses and those of us who wish to appear to have offices and office #'s without the physical location.

It does not do video and probably never will. It attracts those users who require something more than a novelty or toy (skype and tango, etc are fine for what they do, but line2 is a cut above when it comes to the professional world imho.)

It is costly (15 per month) but for wht it provides, is well wirth the cost. Ane its coross-platform (android, bb, ios)

It appears to work best for ios phones though

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
So I'm finally suppose to get my G2 tomorrow by the end of the day according to the UPS tracking, I got mine free with the promotion deal that ends today. I am not just asking a question without looking for myself, I have been reading about root and how to do it for the past week. I would like to know if I should apply the OTA update before I root it. Should I? I have read about bricking a phone and if your at a certain degree of screwed and you are post OTA, then you are totally screwed. But I don't remember if it was post OTA or after you have applied the OTA. To avoid a total brick, should I apply the OTA or not? Or to keep it simple, should I apply the OTA before I root or not? Or does it not matter?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuka325:
I am sure if you are getting the phone tomorrow it will already have the update on it. If it has Wi/Fi calling it has the update. You can root with gfree either way. Check out the vision wiki page and it takes you step-by-step.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
Yes, I have read the Vision's root tutorial in the Wiki more than 3 times now. But if I were to brick it, would it be safer to be pre OTA or to have already applied the OTA? Because I have read something about if you brick it and are post OTA then you can't fix it with that signed .zip file from HTC. I know that it MIGHT already be pre applied to the phone when I get it but I just want to know which is safer if its not already applied.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
You are right if you have 1.19 pre OTA don't apply the update, because if something goes wrong we have a full PC10IMG for 1.19 to restore your phone, we don't have one for 1.22 OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YOSEFE:
Generally speaking, I would say that you should root the phone before you apply the OTA update.

I don't have a G2, I am on a DZ, so my suggestion is only general.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
I accidentally let mine update after I bought it as I hadn't had a chance to read through the rooting guides yet. I actually did the hex edit version revert but I'm not so sure that was even necessary. I've since run gfree on the 1.22 OTA updated G2 with no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuka325:
I think you would have to be EXTREMELY unlucky to brick your phone with gfree pre or post OTA. This is due to you controlling all that goes to the phone and if it you type something wrong (minus eng hboot of course) it simply won't take on the phone, giving you an error message and you just have to retype it. Really no way to brick if you just want to root and s-off.
[Droid X General] RootinAround:
I'm coming from the Eris to the DX. I've read every thread from every forum and am lost. I know that the DX has some blocks put into place, but has been rooted.

After that point every thread says Koush's Bootstrap Recovery is a MUST HAVE. Why? How is it different from Rom Manager? Is one better than the other?

I rooted using z4root and installed ROM Manager. I then had RM make a backup of the current rom.(Which is stock.) And it created a file in my root folder like usual. So isn't that what Koush's recovery is supposed to do?

I haven't found anything that directly answers this. So if this is another useless thread just say the word and I'll kill it. Thanks ahead of time.
[Droid X General] Morkai Almandragon:
I have found that now and then you will loose bootstrap (be it from RM, or Koushes, they install virtually the same bootstrap). When this happens, you simply open Koushes, click bootstrap, and it is fixed.
[Droid X General] milan616:
There are actually three things at work here.

1) Clockworkmod Recovery (CWM)

2) Droid X/2 Bootstrapper

3) Rom Manager

Now since the bootloader, kernel and recovery are locked down on the X/2, you can't replace the stock recovery with CWM. Rom Manager includes a copy of CWM, but is unable to install it. This is where Bootstrapper comes in.

Bootstrapper exploits a hole in the boot process by replacing a piece of code that gets called early on with one that lets you boot into Clockwork. When you click on Bootstrap Recovery it installs the bootstrap process, which lets CWM run on the Droid X/2. It also creates a file on the phone that CWM looks for. If it finds the file it takes you into CWM. If it doesn't find the file it continues along the normal boot process.

Rom Manager is just a convenient place to install roms from as it can automate the CWM part of the process.
[Droid X General] RootinAround:
So essentially, each one plays a role. But not one of them can do it all by itself. Thanks for the reply. This has been the most straight forward answer I've seen.
[Droid X General] forever29:
I have them both installed but pretty much use Koush's almost 100% of the time

to make nandroids and flash things.
[Droid X General] chaoslimits:
The DX/D2 bootstrapper is, essentially, all you need. Rom Manager (also by Kousch) is a front end (friendly interface) for the DX/D2 bootstrapper. I usually have the bootstrapper installed since I can pretty much do anything I need to without Rom Manager.

Some options aren't available in Rom Manager (I think) since they aren't really necessary for Rom installation, download and backup.

Get familiar with both and then decide what you want to use.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
hey a fellow former eris user upgrading to the X any questions ask me and id be glad to be your tourguide lol
[Droid X General] bobmiller2:
I use ROM Manager for backing up my current ROM because it allows you to edit the name used before the backup.
[Droid X General] DRTMI:
That's all I use rom manager for. I just go in after I do a backup with bootstrap and rename with rom manager.
[Droid X General] Bob_is_a_Droid:
Thank you for asking the question I've wanted an answer to since i got my DX. I too also am coming from an Eris. gonna miss the little phone that could.
[Droid X General] RootinAround:
You're on. It seems the DX is a different world from the mighty underdog Eris. And I hope the Eris defects can show the DX forums how great XDA can be. Thanks for the input everyone. Flashed my first, "rom," tonight with your help.
[Droid X General] joshw0000:
Guess there are more Eris upgraders out ther than I realized. It sounds like the whole bootstrap/rom manager issue was cleared up for you. I had the same questions when I first upgraded. I haven't even used rom manager since clockwork looks so similar to the good ol' amon ra. Happy flashing.
[Droid X General] Droid-Xer:
You can name backups prior to making a backup in clockwork with ROM manager as opposed to after with bootstrap. Other than that ROM manager is not needed.
