[HD7 General] iltimonster:
I don't where to put this thread specifically but I know there is some confusion in the HD7 forums. So I'm here to explain the difference between Unbranding, Unlocking, Rooting.

Unlocking:

Unlocking your device simply allows you to use it with any other GSM carrier in the world. It is a good way for you to not incur roaming charges since you can travel out of the country(or inside for that matter) and pick up a prepaid SIM card and use it. It does

not

damage your phone, disable any features or functionality and does not void the warranty. Unlocking your phone can also increase its value, because the

phone can be transferred to a non-CDMA based company

(CDMA is, in basic terms, phones that have SIM card built-in, but don't rip apart your phone, there is no SIM card; Sprint is an example of a CDMA based company). There are some carriers, who allow you to unlock your phone, for example, T-Mobile will give out unlocking codes for some phones, if you tell them your travelling outside of the country. This is because this specific carrier does not have an international call plan.

Unbranding:

Unbranding, or debranding as it is some times referred to, is where you remove the carrier branding from your device.

This will void your warranty

since you are essentially removing all carrier affiliation, besides the logo physically printed on your phone, from your device. It is possible for you to "rebrand" your device with your carrier again, although there is no point to unbranding if you're going to do this. One thing unbranding will do is that it will remove the carrier splash screen that is displayed when your phone is booting. It will also revert your device back to the factory defaults, so back-up your hone if you plan to. The process of unbranding your device is

not

illegal, although for a small number of devices(like Blackberries) the software is!

Rooting[?]:

The reason I put a question mark in brakets is because for Windows Phone, rooting isnt the correct term. Jailbreaking was the first instance of this type of software modification, and freed iPhone users of the incredibly limiting way the iPhone was set-up. Androids were later 'jailbroken'; however, due to the fact the OS is Linux based, they called it rooting due to the way the files were set up and named{I don't know the full reason, go google it}. Anyways, rooting{which is what I'll call it in this thread} is when a device is totally released from all restraints set by the manufacturer. In the case of the iPhone and Android phones, it allowed to install 3rd party application(applications that weren't allowed to be in their respective marketplaces), change the appareance and layout of the phone, and even change the splash screen(what's seen when booting the phone; i.e. for the HD7 its the T-Mobile and Windows Phone logo ).

Usually this process voids the warranty

, however, in some cases like the iPhone, reseting the phone through official provided software will revert back.

I hope this helped :cool:
[HD7 General] saud__19:
great info. just wanna say thanks.

: )
[HD7 General] hebrewhammer:
Someone needs to come up with a better word for "rooting." I hate the term jailbreak but it looks like we might be getting stuck with it. Maybe if we made the difference clear by calling one "SIM unlocking" and the other just "unlocking."
[HD7 General] -l-Z3K3-l-:
Call it Sideloading

that'd do for me

:)
[HD7 General] soopablake:
so using chevron will void my warranty is what your sayin?
[Nook Color General] uncjax:
So i was wondering if that was possible and if it is.. whats the diff between rooted stock (what I have now) or honeycomb.. Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dapope:
Anyone know of any software for doing the above?

[Xoom General] Eclair~:
Out of all the the companies that have announced Honeycomb tablets, not one of them have laid a finger on Android 3.0? Is Google not allowing this? Or are they simply not familiar enough with 3.0 to make any dramatical changes? I don't think it is us consumers forcing them to do this, as it is very clear Motorola and Samsung will skin their devices as they please... but this struck me as odd that they aren't making any changes to the software to differentiate their tablets from the others.

Does Google want to make sure that their tablets get updated as soon as possible? Or do the manufactures believe that Android 3.0 doesn't need to be altered whatsoever and that stock Android is fine?

I know none of you may have a definite answer but I am very curious. I do know that this isn't a bad thing as people actually prefer stock Android... it just somewhat shocks me that these companies aren't trying to alter these tablets to their liking. All the tablets are essentially the same with a different shell. If this is the case, Google could have just released one Honeycomb tablet on all carriers with a decent price. Of course the answer to this will be "choice", but if ONE (and only one) Honeycomb tablet with a low enough price was announced.. that had USB ports, SD Cards slots, etc. -- we wouldn't have to look elsewhere.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
The xoom will get an update for motoblur at a later date.
[Xoom General] cypherx82:
A Motorola employee said that, but then Motorola itself dismissed that as false.
[Xoom General] kenyu73:
It was a big race to get the first tablet out the door. It's going to take months to do a 3.0 as they need to re-do it from the group up.
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Then perhaps manufacturers have finally come to the realization that google got it right and chose not to sink the money into software development and are sticking to the hardware.
[Xoom General] Tico.ASandoval14:
If you watch the engadget interview with Matias Duarte, they ask him about his thoughts on manufactures laying hands on Honeycomb. He simply smiles and seems like he doesn't want no one changing up the UI. I mean he is the designer for Honeycomb and I doubt anyone would want their masterpiece being murdered by Motorblur and touchwiz! :confused: I think honeycomb looks amazing personally. I also think Google wants these tablets to succeed; therefore, leaving them in charge of updating the software, not manufactures like Samsung who never really update their devices. :confused:
[Xoom General] Sirchuk:
Unfortunately we still have to rely on the manufacturer to do the updates I think.
[Xoom General] feron:
Not to mention that Goog wants fast to market adoption of apps and the potential behind a store ala Apple.

Allowing third parties to muck around with what users can do has been the whole basis of the 'fragmentation' argument.

If Google uses its power in this case they do have a good chance to steal thunder from Apple, but only if they don't allow for the software and devices to get wildly out of sync as they are now.

And that really only pisses off the consumer, not the manufacturer folk - these hardware makers should be beholden to Google, not the consumer to the manufacturer.

Google needs to put the line in the sand so to speak and take ownership of the app side of the game with regards to the platform.. and as much as it pains me to say so, they need to start enforcing some rules about things.. within reason to their current scope/intention - a few friggin standards/rules would not hurt the platform at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
Today i was looking at the market and realized. Why doesn't the android market have really good games like the apple app store? I have an iPod touch and I use that like my gaming/music device and my phone as a social device?

Anyway I got tired of having to carry both so I got the question of why android doesn't have so many good games..

Is android not that popular right now?

Really good apple app store games I like are stuff like real racing 2, Madden NFL 2011, and etc.... is android going to gets these soon?

Sent from my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
it will depend how popular android will be. i believe more games will be on android platform, just matter of time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knyghtryda:
The problem is that with android, developers can now run their own markets instead of having to rely on android market for distribution. That means You'll have to go to each developer (Gameloft, EA, etc) and buy from them directly. It sucks that games Real Racing 2 and Dead Space aren't on android yet, but stuff like GT Academy, Dungeon Defenders, and HAWX will tide you over till the big AAA titles finally get ported.

Edit: At least we get Angry Birds for free :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ii Candor ii:
One other factor could be that Android fans don't fork out cash like Apple fans do. Android fans persistently pursue free solutions where Apple fans might give in easier.

Free is what XDA has been all about for years. I have never paid for an app out of my pocket.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
Whenever I go to the ea website it says there are no games for your phone. Is this because I'm running a gt i9000 rom?

Sent from my phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
Are there any other sites like ea sports and gameloft that don't have apps in the market but have them on their own?

I dont think telling someone to google something is being a smartass, if he is on this forum he should know that google can preety much answer anything so others dont have to repeat answers over and over again. I was just making fun of lmgtfy.com, no trying to be an douche. XDA and many other forums should come with a huge disclaimer of "google it first before posting".

well it's only been launched 4 days ago so they will update soon, don't worry at least the interest is there and since the project is started it will be continued providing the fact that SGS is the most popular android phone today.

Patience

You guys are so impatient. Fascinate is CDMA, those 'fixes' don't magically work for us.

There will be updates to come.. Just remember, we all have lives & like to live them, we don't/cant spent 24/7 on roms like some of you think we do.

I'm sorry for being annoying.

I'm just impatient.

Hey MasterTM, is there any way like twitter where we fans can catch up on your progress or future updates? I'd really appreciate it if you guys at least give us some heads up which we can look forward to, you know. Not that we're asking you guys to work nights and days, but at least deliver something to us fans here and I am sure not only me, but many of us will be pleased and more donations will be headed in your team's way. I believe I speak for many of us here. Thank you to you and your team man. All I am asking is twitter where we can follow up. :)

Thanx a lot for all your works.

hope to see an update soon and thanx Master for your anwser.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thunderteaser:
@Master™ and @juumaneface

First, we thank you very much for what you're doing, we know you don't owe us anything and that you're not doing this for money. :)

I hope I'm speaking in the name of most users when I say that since you posted this, you created a chain reaction of happiness and excitement within users who are really confident in this ROM and that trust your work, but seeing that CDMA development proceeds as normal while the GSM side is stuck at the initial release, is obviously pushing us to press on you. But that's because we have high hopes and great expectations.

For instance, the reason why we asked for your Twitter is to have some feeds on development for i9000, and I saw just one or two twits in days, and on this thread you keep saying to wait without telling anything else.

We know you have a real life as everyone here, but you could kindly spare a few words once in a while to tell us at least what you are working on (or waiting for) at the moment and what is the general progress, so users won't feel so distant from you and even stop asking everytime about the next release, while raising our trust in this project. :)

Thanks again for your efforts and keep up the good work!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Master™:
The GSM side has had several releases, just all those fixes were put into ONE release for the Cappy & I9000

(JF & I work on the Vibrant)

We have MOST of the bugs worked out, just trying to communicate through 4 devs delays things.. like releases

Doing a team port is much easier on devs, but takes longer to put releases out in most cases
