[General Questions and Answers] NerfJihad:
Apparently having a home network with a fileserver and a couple clients is outside the range of normalcy, now. I mean, I run a samba server from ubuntu which shares out movies, music, and what-have-you for my whole network. I have a decent-size TV downstairs that I occasionally plug my laptop into to watch movies with the fiancee. With the new Nexus S came the thought that "Hey! I can use the wifi in the house to do stuff on the laptop! Linux is linux, right? Doesn't matter who made it!"

(Insert the sound of someone realizing that he was wrong)

Friendo helped root the phone, ran me through basics like nandroid backups and whatnot, and I think I unlocked the bootloader, as well. Something like that. I can use the VLC web interface and VLC Stream and Convert (free edition) to play stuff on the server itself, or I can manually move whatever it was that I wanted to watch to the laptop and control that.

My question is this: Is there any app out there that'll let me tell the copy of VLC on the laptop to open files on the server? It's a dual-core fileserver that runs off 3gb of ram. It can't handle 1080p movies. The laptop, however, is more than capable, and I'd like to use its CPU / GPU to decode x.264 / AAC streams, rather than the Nexus or the server.

Am I just wishing for something that's impossible at this juncture?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ghub1:
Will the Bionic have a locked down bootloader like the droid x?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Thrillhouse847:
I have no knowledge on the subject, but I can only assume that it will.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BlackOtaku:
Yeah, Moto confirmed it. It can still be rooted though (I'm assuming) , which is the most important thing to me personally.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] thed0cb:
I love this community, and the ability to try others' work. I think Moto will keep their products locked to a degree. Done with them yet holding on to my Droid.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Russ36363:
Who knows though now that Xoom is unlocked, maybe Moto finally got the hint. We can all wish, but until the release comes, we won't know for sure
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lesismore1:
The Atrix 4G got locked down, but hopefully we will have better luck..... My Droid Eris is feeling slower by the day, but I won't use my upgrade on a locked-down phone.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] erismaster:
I remember reading from a few different places that the bionic has a good chance of being unlocked. That's because the chip they are using in the bionic vs. D2 and dx. The d2 and x have a certain chip that needs to locked down or something but since the bionic has the Tegra processor it won't have that special chip. I hope this is the case.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.mahoney:
is this phone even worth getting? i'm due for an upgrade and they been trying to throw the iphone4 at me but i've been waiting for this...now i wonder if this is a waste of time... my eris is driving me crazy so i want something fairly soon...this phone seems to be the only worthy choice though for verizon customers...are there any other competitive options besides this phone without switching carriers?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] erismaster:
Thunderbolt? They believe they have a root for it already. And for sure is unlocked. It's for sure gonna have a great dev community.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] bill.mahoney:
oh. ok. i'll look into it more...i was under the impression it was for sprint like an evo2 replacement... didn't know it was verizon. ty
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
Chip's called e-fuse

The atrix boot loader is signed not encrypted

I expect the same will happen to the bionic as its basically an atrix with less RAM and a larger screen

Swyped from my captivate
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lesismore1:
Good News!!! And I definitely want the Bionic because the Thunderbolt is essentially the Evo 4g with less battery but more ram(768mb vs 512mb). It also is essentially the same thing as the Droid Incredible, but with 512mb vs 768mb of ram.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Mr.Pie[OCN]:
not really as the signed partitions and the bootloader is essentially checked each boot

devs are working to see if we can bypass it or something....but at least it isn't encrypted which gives the devs a slightly higher chance of finding a fix vs having the bootloader encrypted
[Motorola Droid Bionic] erismaster:
Not to get get off topic but I wish the root population was larger. Then when motorola does encrypt their phones then it's not like the lesser 5% of the phone purchasers being upset about it. Me getting this phone depends on if it's unlocked or not. I have friends all the time ask me to root their phone. I have a few friends that run custom roms that I put on. Not one of them has had a problem(knock on wood) I don't see a big risk in rooting and flashing custom roms, especially with how easy it is nowadays. That's my 2 cents :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lesismore1:
I know that, but it's better news than if it was encrypted and/or had something similar to an e-Fuse, and that's what I meant in good news. I knew it wouldn't be the same as a Nexus S or Nexus One (which are Dev friendly), but my Eris had a bootloader (S-On) which so far as I can see is the same as a signed bootloader (correct me if I'm wrong). Hopefully, it'll just be a couple of weeks/months to crack it but (knock on wood) at least we won't be stuck with the situation Droid X owners have.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lesismore1:
Also, unrelated note, but I played with a friends Atrix 4G for about 30 minutes, and a couple things......

Good

1. Fast as hell! (In apps, games, typing, etc) Very lag free! (see below)

2. In game, incredibly smooth and great looking screen. Better than other friend's Droid Incredible, and colors look nearly as good as my old Zune HD.

Bad

1. Home screen lags quite badly. My friend had lots of apps on desktop and though the Live wallpaper and app drawer were smooth, switching left to right was laggy.... Very nitpicky but annoying.

Overall, I still want the phone (more than before), and want Cyanogenmod on this thing badly!:)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ncobs:
Not really, the thunderbolt has a new generation snapdragon, between that and the extra ram, and better video processor, it's actually WAY faster than an Evo 4G. Out of the box quadrant scores are around 1975, and general performance is really much better than an Evo in every way. (not saying it's faster than a bionic obviously, but it definitely isn't the same thing as an Evo).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lesismore1:
Thanks for clarifying. When I looked to check facts for the comparison, it only said 1 ghz Snapdragon, so I assumed the same CPU/GPU as the first gen.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] eagle17:
still the tegra 2 is a faster processor ... otherwise its more of a wait and see...

I have decided to wait for the bionic instead of getting the thunderbolt... unless the tb comes out tomorrow... but that is very unlikly.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ksizzle9:
im so sick of seeing people compare the evo to the thunderbolt, first things first, LTE is better than WiMAX. Second of all the processor arent even close, and you know on the evo if you use a task killer, it might have 250mb or RAM free, when you do it on the bolt, you will have overmb free, it will never lag. ever. and the only time it will fall behind the bionic or atrix is gaming, thats it
[Motorola Droid Bionic] modal realism:
I'm still curious why everyone is leaping on the Bionic as definitely having 512mb of RAM.

The phone isn't even available yet and the 512mb number came out before the Droid X2 numbers were more solid. I can't see Motorola offering the Bionic with less than 768mb of ram since it will have the DroidX2 to fill that gap.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Yeah, but it's DDR2... all other phones just say ddr... even the attic(unless they finally updated the specs) so it's essentilly twice as fast ram in there... so maybe it doesn't need it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cstrife999:
No it's a next generation snapdragon.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] apDroid:
I, too, wonder how much of a difference ddr2 would make for day to day use. My fiancée and I are probably going to switch to Verizon, and tho she wants the Thunderbolt I can't decide whether or not to wait for the Bionic. Especially if by then the data plan for LTE phones is more expensive.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] lucious584:
The keys for the bootloaders on moto phones have been found
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CaliTilt:
Please include a link to the thread or the article for the keys found for the Moto bootloader. This new finding will definitely make my decision to wait for the Bionic.

Thanks

[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
The amount of mis information makes me sad.

YES the motorola will have 512 MB of ram.. want to know how i know? Motorola told me

http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U.../Mobile-Phones/DROID-BIONIC-US-EN?localeId=33

ffs - if you are going to make such a terrible statement - at least have a source to back it up.

No dice on the keys to the bootloader.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] modal realism:
I really hope you're not talking to me. If so, take a look at the day I posted it. I also didn't claim 'the bionic didn't have 512mb of RAM'. I said I couldn't see them offering it as is. Which was correct because if they are indeed offering it with DDR2 ram, then that changes it all entirely.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] piperat:
Yes it probable will have it. Moto said if you dont like it buy elsewhere

Used my fascinating voodoo powers
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jamezr:
I returned my Atrix yesturday for this exact reason. The DEV community was able to root the Atrix but the Moto released a update and broke the root. They have come out and said they will NOT unlock the bootloader. If people did not like it then they should buy elsewhere. All of this came from a Motorola support forum for the Atrix. We had over 4000 signatures asking for a unlocked boot loader. Moto ignored us.....so I am sure the Bionic will have a locked boot loader as well. You can root the Atrix BUT you can't flash and custom roms...you can only install themes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] OneStepAhead:
a bit off topic but you should not be using task killers on android 2.1 and higer. i love how people think google made this amazing OS but somehow overlooked the close button! and the Evo and Tbolt are practically identical from a layman's perspective.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] erismaster:
I don't use one but ill periodically go into application/running services and clear out stuff to get more ram. Only if my phone starts to lag. But I'm on a droid one. Newer phones have much more ram and don't run into that issue as often. And I believe its android 2.2 and newer that kill low priority tasks in the background.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] itsmikeramsay:
Motorola may be implementing the lockable/unlockable bootloader. The bootloader that's in the Xoom
[Motorola Droid Bionic] OneStepAhead:
It may be, but im pretty sure its 2.1.

All,

Can someone produce an how to to downgrade baseband from 52 to 4X. Im on beta 4 and wanting to go to 2.3.2.

I understand there is some files J has put in the zip that may be flashed using recovery?

Regards,
[XPERIA X10 General] evolutionizer:
Yea all you need to do is flash folder correct_baseband onto your phone and you are good to go.

Click on the thanks button if my reply was of any use
[XPERIA X10 General] sophanith:
I need too
[XPERIA X10 General] evolutionizer:
STEP 1) go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 download the flasher

STEP 2) Extract the flasher zip file, open the program X10FlashTool.exe

STEP 3) Advanced -> Bundle creation -> select the folder corect_baseband -> enter details required ( Device, Branding, version -> select all the files present in the folder list (on the left side) and transfer to the firmware content -> click ok

STEP 4) -> click on flash -> select the firmware -> when asked connect the phone in flasher mode (Turn off the phone and connect the USB while holding down the back button, this will result in the GREEN notification light being turned ON)

STEP 5) If you require busybox or root or xrecovery it will be found in the advanced menu.

And upon rebooting you will have the baseband required for 2.3.2.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] b1oh4zard:
I wrote this Guide, cause I experienced that Keychars on my Hardware Keyboard of my Desire Z changed in some CustomRoms (for example in CM7) and I couldn´t write chars like ä,ö,ü.

Attention: *** = Your language (short) like:

ger=germany

ara=arabic

and so on ....

1) Pick up your keychar:

What you have to do is to pick up your favourite keyboard Layout of your language from a Rom you want, located under:

"/system/usr/keychars/" named "vision-keypad-***-kcm.bin"

2) Push it to your Device in Recovery with adb shell to your device :

adb push /PathOfYourFile/vision-keypad-***-kcm.bin /system/usr/keychars/

3) then type in ADB Shell:

chmod 644 /system/usr/keychars/vision-keypad-***-kcm.bin

Now Reboot and let me know if it worked for you :)

do you think there is a way to bind the SYM key to a popup symbols like on stock Sense ROM ? Or maybe using the onscreen "prediction line" ?

Is that the one on the Market that costs about $1?

I think they specifically say that the G2 is not supported. Does it work?

Hi all

On my phone (after rooting) this guide didn't work. The file was already there, but not used. I found out much later that my phone had after rooting the wrong system setting for my keyboard.

To find out the actual one, install http://www.appbrain.com/app/setprop-free/com.jiaofamily.android.setprop and check hw.keyboards.0.devname. The one listet there is the used one. In my case it was vision-keypad-wwe, but I have a german phone. So I changed it to vision-keypad-ger, also for hw.keyboards.131073.devname (no idea if the second is also needed) and rebooted. Sadly it was reset to wwe after reboot.

So I simply renamed the -ger file to -wwe and pushed that one on the one (and replaced the old one). But it's still not working, any other ideas?
[Fascinate General] lenonk:
Hello, I've recently updated to SuperClean 2.2 w/ the voodoo kernel. Everything seems to be working great, including my GPS, but when I try to use voice search to call someone in my contact list, it always opens a web browser and searches for whatever I said. So, for example, if I said:

"call john smith mobile" it would pop open a web browser and search for "call john smith mobile".

However, if I said:

"call little ceasers pizza" it would do the right thing.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks!
[Fascinate General] nickl1185:
The same thing happens to me! It's really annoying so I use Vlingo for all voice searches instead.

Hey guys,

Didn't know changing the font was possible! Do you think you could find the font gingerbread has for the timer? I notice its a little bit different than the stock one, or maybe the size was smaller. Do you think size changing is possible to?

I don't think I'll have to do anything further with that one though.

I've noticed when changing font colors it cause bootloops. I think I found the reason and haven't had a chance to test it.

You can't decompile and compile anything with different images. You have to use a stock apk and add the images using 7zip after everything is compiled

After a quick review this is the Time Entry screen I believe... if you were to go into Settings -> Date and Time and uncheck Automatic then click Set Time you get a dialog with..

A number picker for hour, a number picker for minute, then a button for am/pm matching the .xml file.

Appreciate the help though. :) back to the search.

Since we use services.jar to change the font color for the clock I'm fairly certain it would be in their to change the font sizes as well as the XML search becomes more and more discouraging.

Good catch. I'm gonna play with services.jar 2moro for a couple other things I'm looking into for my self and I'll see what I can find in there. I'm also going to digging into framework.jar and policy.jar so I can look in those 2

I have an original DROID.

okay. so i flashed my droid with the 2.01 SBF, not knowing which version it was on before it got bricked because i recieve it like this.

the backlight turns on, but NOTHING ELSE shows up. reason i know its not the screen, the screen shows the SW UPDATE when flashing an SBF in bootloader. it boots to the bootloader, but doesn't show that its booted, just the blacklight turns on.

when i flashed the SBF to the droid with RSDLITE, the bootloader shows the SW UPDATE in progress, but it still boots to NOTHING...and when i try to go to the bootloader, all that is shown is the blank backlit screen..same when starting the droid.

i'm confused as to what exactly is missing here...the stock SBF is flashed, yet it still won't boot??

edit: tried 2.1, same problem!! currently trying 2.2...i'll update when it's done.

2.2 same problem.

the screen can't be messed up!? it shows text in the bootloader!!! =/

help?!
