[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] ninobrn99:
Started playing with this last night. I found an image I liked and added to it (big thanks to whoever created the android eating the apple!!)

The tool doesn't flash my .img file so I went about it the TE way. I think it might be due to the fact that it names the file splash.img and not custom.img.....that's my guess at least.

Have anyone tried the Seidio Innocase Holster combo for HTC HD7? I saw it online today and I'm debating getting it. If you have it what are your thoughts and would you recomend it? ;)

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hr3hthd7-bk.htm
[HD7 Accessories] ty088:
i ordered one. when i get it ill post a short review.
[HD7 Accessories] cfcoleman:
Ok. I will wait for your review to get one.
[HD7 Accessories] Tdeljr:
I received mine today and love it. I've used seidio on all my phones and imo they're the best. The cutouts in the case make locating the buttons easier. Feels really nice in hand & looks really nice does not take away from the sleekness of the phone. Fits in the holster nice and snug. Only (bad) thing that I can say is once its on its real hard to take off. But this isn't a BlackBerry where you have to pull the battery every 10 minutes. Bottom line they are pricey but well worth it.
[HD7 Accessories] ty088:
i finally recieved mine too, and i love it. my only complaint is sometimes its hard to hit the power button. i dont find it to hard to take back of but maybe its just me. i also have the full body skin from BSE and i think its a great combo.
[HD7 Accessories] professorwol:
Yes I purchased this and I am waiting for it to arrive. but i would not get the combo cause I am not a fan of clips but I love the Slider aspect of the case

had one on my iphone and it was amazing really did hold up to the wear and tear and also felt amazing
[Android Apps and Games] racdyn:
Hi all,

I'm a noob app developer trying to do it for the first time. I'm trying to create an event calendar app for company's internal purposes. So that everyone in the company (which uses a lot of android phones) can be updated on company events that are coming up.

My approach is to create a database with MySQL for events input, and to use PHP to connect the database which is in a server and to push it to the android devices that are used in the office as that's how I found it in a tutorial from HelloAndroid.

My questions are:

1. is this the best approach to create such app?

2. Can I use Android's default calendar to input these events? if not is there some kind of calendar template that I can use to display the information to the users.

Probably will have more questions as I progress, but please help if anyone is more experienced in these matters than I am.

Thank you very much, and really appreciate the inputs that I'm gonna get
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
A simple solution would be to use Google Calendar.

By using GC you can add/edit events either from a PC (work or home) or your Mobile anywhere in the World.

All that is required is for someone to first set up the calendar on Google and push it out to all those who you want to see it.

This way you are not isolating anyone who does not have an Android Phone.
[Android Apps and Games] racdyn:
that's a really good point. Especially in a closed environment like an office. I didn't think of that before. THank you very much.

However, if let's say I want to try to build an app for that for public use, not just confined to limited numbers of people in a company.

Would that be the best approach or if there's any better way to approach it. I may decide to build the app after all just to learn and gain experience in app development. :)

thanks again for the feedback, really appreciate it.
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
I can't really give you advice on developing an App sorry.

All I can say is the method I mention is the one which I use to keep all my Operational Team (Surgeons/Doctors/Nurses/Admin/etc) updated and advised.

There's nothing short in you developing your own Calendar App but you would have to ensure it would be available to all and that includes anyone anywhere regardless of the fact they are at work, home, holiday, with Android or not, have a Phone, PC, Mac, etc... etc...

For that there's already a stable tool by the name of Google Calendar.

If you do develop one I'd still be interested in seeing what ideas you could bring into practice that would have a benefit over GC.
[Android Apps and Games] racdyn:
I understand your point of view, and actually you got me thinking, maybe if I really want to do the apps, I can create an app that calls the Gcalendar events, and display it from the app. I can find out the API to do that, and that would be much simpler.

Thank you again for your input, really appreciate i :)
[Android Apps and Games] Beards:
No problem.... I wish you well on your venture.

Do please let us all know how you get on.. You never know, if it becomes that good I may even use it myself over the stock calendar App or any of the other's that already link to GC.

[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
I have a rooted Evo running 2.3, and I know a lot of you won't want to take time to help a fellow OP out, but. When will Sprint release an OTA 2.3 update for the HTC Evo 4G? Any ideas? Facts?

Youre input would be much appreciated, thnx.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Probably never...it's been suggested that manufacturers will be skipping 2.3 and just move to 2.4.

And Sprint won't be releasing anything anyway, this is all on HTC.

Manufacturers make the updates, send to carriers, carriers approve and and bloatware apps and release.
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
Yeah 2.4 sorry, so probably not then? Wow that's lame.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
What do you mean probably not then?

My guess would be within the next 45 days.

We know the Evo is getting Gingerbread [2.3/2.4] so it will come.

It makes sense that it would come before Spring.
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
Ohh he meant sprint doesn't release updates and that its up to htc, no I know that I just meant sprint actually getting ahold of the final product and sending it out to us. I thought he was saying regardless of htc having a 2.3/2.4 update sprint will just be all natzi about it and not give it to us after they have ruined it via, bloatware and other disgusting apps. Lol sry my bad, so hopefully in 45 days cause this has taken way too long.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
How do you know the Evo will get 2.3 or 2.4?
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
unless you know some super, uber secret that we don't, it's was NEVER confirmed that the evo would get any update past froyo.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
They're considered maintenance upgrades so unless sprint's flagship phone is already considered eol while it is still selling out I'm sure we'll keep getting updates :)

... this thread looks familiar for some reason, I could swear there is another one just like it on the next page lol
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
when i see confirmation from google or sprint, then ill believe it.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Why would you ever see confirmation from Google?

HTC is working on it, promise.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
it's gonna be awhile for them to implement the new sense into ginger. then sprint would have to test before releasing it. if anything at best we might see it by late spring. ive never seen any documentation that even stated htc was working on it for the evo. just like the evo2 is nothing but a myth at this point.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Gingerbread was released what...almost four months ago?

It's already been a while...

Also, Froyo was released to the Evo about four months after Froyo was released by Google. ;)
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
not for the evo and to my knowledge not with sense. the evo would only get a sense version of it, not aosp. im done going back & forth, you get the point.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Huh??

Google released Gingerbread about four months ago...

Google released Froyo about four months prior to the Evo getting it...

You said it's "gonna be awhile"

And I'm saying it's already been a while.

Spring time at the latest.
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
OP here, Well I'm sure that we will but since its like dead and nobody talks or knows for sure you start to think if its gonna happen at all...I don't see the echo as sprints new flagship phone and as far as I know the evo sells more than the epic and shift so if they abandon all ships on 2.3 I think yours truly is gonna have to switch over to Deutsche Telecom.
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
OP here, **** I meant 2.3/2.4 DAMMIT I always forget about the change.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlo@gmail.com:
Hi, just joined as a new member after seeing the developer thread on rooting the Desire Z.

I saw in the beginning of that thread that rooting isn't valid for Asia models of the Desire Z and wanted to confirm whether or not that's true?

I live in HK and got my Desire Z in Mong Kok at one of those phone shops. I believe I have the Taiwanese official version installed for it.

Is it alright for me to go forward with rooting?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rand0m_insanity:
I have an Asian model as well. May I know which version you have? Mine is 1.34.707.5. I haven't done a permanent root yet, but I have successfully temp-rooted my DZ using the latest VISIONary app.

As far as I know, you can do root your phone. The only reason that's holding me back is I cannot find a "safety net" if ever something goes wrong when I flash custom ROMs or I discover a factory defect since I cannot find a RUU with the same version that I am running.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlo@gmail.com:
Thanks for your feedback. Mine is 1.34.709.5

I don't have any plans to flash any ROMs. Do you think its alright to go ahead and use visionary to do this?

Also whats the difference between permanent root vs temp root?

Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rand0m_insanity:
I guess it is fairly safe to temp root using visionary. I wouldn't suggest perm rooting using it though, as there have been times it has caused some "problems".

The difference between the two types is root is lost upon reboot for temp root. So basically, you have to temp root every time you reboot your phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charlo@gmail.com:
Thanks i'll try it out and let you know how it goes.

Much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
Hi everyone, I'm Rob and I'm an iPad user...... :(

I'm thinking about getting rid of the iPad due to the complete ballache of getting media onto the thing (via the hateful iTunes), the ridiculous Apple locking down of apps and having to jailbreak it to do what I want. The last straw is Apple stopping you from using iBooks to access bought content if the iPad is jailbroken which worries me as to what they will do next...

Now, I have a Milestone running Cyanogen Gingerbread and it is great but I'm wondering what happens if I log into my Google account on both devices at the same time. What happens with the apps, can I use them on both devices, will they appear on both devices if I install from the Marketplace? If I delete one from my phone, will it delete form the Tab? So many questions :)

Has anyone done the same thnig and have you regretted it?
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
Normally Apps are associated with the Ident number of the Phone, which is how developers get round individuals using a single license on multiple devices.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I've not found that at all thus far.

I have several Android devices, all linked to the same account, and all running mostly the same apps. The only times they don't, are when there is another level of activation (e.g. CoPilot).

Google do provide a mechanism for developers to lock down their applications to a single device if they wish (see here), but I've yet to encounter such an application.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
Okay, fair point Dave.

My findings are based mostly on the Medical Apps I have installed and yes, Co-Pilot as one other.
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
Thanks for the replies chaps. I think the iPad is going to be replaced. :D
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
Now that.... I can easily concur with... :)

I can't remember the last time I switched on my i-Pad.

... and I'm looking forward to getting the New Galaxy Tab 2 to add to my Samsung collection (Galaxy S & Tab)
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
I love the iPad itself and hardly ever switch on the laptop but it is Apples attitude to the user that if you don't want to conform to their way, you are to be stopped and treated like a criminal.

Also, with the Tab, I'll be able to copy and paste movies, music and photos onto it easily from my NAS. The iPad photos are reduced in size when copying over. I have 20Gb of family photos and want the full size version rather than a cut down version as a portable backup.
[Galaxy Tab General] jaydon34:
I'm a former Ipad user and what I can say is you will miss the polish.

Things I hate about my tab

1. Browser

2. Youtube app

3. Picture app

4. It plays multiple audio sources at the same time. The ipad would phase one source out should you play something else.

5. No audio controls in the notification bar

Thinks I love about my tab

1. Email

2. Downloading media directly to the device

3. Torrent apps - love that I can dl directly to the device.

4. Form factor - I never read a thing on my ipad, I found it to large to use in bed whereas the tab is perfect.

5. Customization of the os - the things you don't like you can change.

In the end the ipad is a better consumer product, the galaxy tab is still running software designed for a phone. While it is a strong contender it won't be fair to judge the tab until it gets apps designed specificly for it and a proper os.
[Galaxy Tab General] alex2792:
Why do you hate the YouTube app? I think its much better than the ipad version.
[Galaxy Tab General] jaydon34:
Oh the app is okay but I felt the ipad offered higher resolutions. The videos always looked sharp as they do on a computer. On my tab a lot of videos look blurry.
[Galaxy Tab General] alex2792:
I hated ipad YouTube app it would always stutter when playing videos while the tab is smooth sailing. I do agree that stock browser sucks though.
[Galaxy Tab General] polbit:
I was in the same boat - former iPad user. I have to say that the iPad certainly is more polished as a tablet (too many times Galaxy Tab acts like a giant phone), but I wound never go back. The size, the customization, and ability to do anything I want with it is a huge plus for me.

I do hope that at some point we will get a good port of Honeycomb, but not holding my breath. Gingerbread sure would be nice though, running it now on my Nexus One and I really like it.
[Galaxy Tab General] ellokomen:
you can have all your purchased apps on every device that meets the software requirements, as long as every device has the same gmail account on them.

and for the ipad....

what I love about my Gtab is the size, as other had mentioned, it's perfect for reading and holding with one hand

Im kindly sad that Samsung is going to the 10.1 inches race, although that's much better for browsing webpages than 7 inches.

In my Opinion (IMO) you should consider the LG Optimus pad if you want the best of both worlds, the size is smaller than the ipad (8.9") but at the same time is better for portability and reading like the Gtab
[Galaxy Tab General] jaydon34:
I agree the best device will be the LG tablet simply for the form factor.

I recall only bringing my ipad to work and using it at home. The tab goes everywhere because it fits in a pocket.

On another note if you get a gtab don't get the cdma version, its barely supported by the xda community.
[Galaxy Tab General] killuminati3001:
Yup agreed no problems using same account and apps on four devices i use daily.
[Galaxy Tab General] jaydon34:
Spoke to soon the sprint update adds audio controls in the notification bar. Thank god
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
Thanks for all the feedback guys. Good to hear from ex iPad users who don't regret going to the Tab.

Already being an Android user (G1, Magic, Milestone), I know what to expect from the OS itself and love the customisability and community efforts, just wish I had the coding skills that some people on XDA have.
[Galaxy Tab General] utrx:
I think it's the other way around. The iPad's own resolution is low, so regular youtube videos look good. But the G-Tab's higher resolution makes regular youtube videos look bad. If you choose "HQ" streams in youtube, the videos look fine on the G-Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
The Tab is 1024x600 whereas the iPad is 1024x768 so the iPad is higher res.
[Galaxy Tab General] utrx:
Hmmm. but the size is different? 7" vs. 10"? Perhaps then it's the density that makes the difference?
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
Probably, the smaller size of the Tab probably makes it look like a higher pixel density from the same viewing distance.
[Galaxy Tab General] jaydon34:
Despite resolution I think it's just the app. I've pulled up videos on my iphone 4 and they also tend to look better.
[Galaxy Tab General] AnyMal:
I have both devices and iPad isn't going to be replaced any time soon. Having a native Netflix app alone makes it a keeper. You don't need iTunes to get media on/off iPad, there are plenty of third-party solutions for both PC and Mac. There are also outstanding streaming apps like Air Video ansd Stream To Me. Both Tab and iPad have advantages but if I had to choose I'd stay with iPad.

I am yet to find a worthy replacement for Air Video on Tab. I purchased the latest version of Plex yesterday and videos stream over my wi-fi network looked like crap. I attempted to set up Netflx plug in and gave up after wasting thirty minutes, it's too convolutted.
[Galaxy Tab General] rob_h:
Try PlugPlayer. I have it on my Milestone and it is great for streaming MP4s etc from NASs. The problem with Air Video is that you have to have a PC or Mac turned on.
[Galaxy Tab General] KarukTribe:
Trade: Galaxy tab for ipad

I have a sprint galaxy tab. I use it wifi only. Never activated with clean esn. Mint condition.

It appears my kids school (admins) are in love with apple products including the ipad. My kids can use specific app on the ipad for school assignments and even get extra credit in their computer class for doing so.

Anyone who has an ipad laying around collecting dust that would like to trade for my galaxy tab let me know.
[Galaxy Tab General] jkhouw1:

About the video resolution in youtube app on GTab: yes it's true! Low resolution!

But...try to open youtube IN THE BROWSER, and get video in full res quality ;)

[Galaxy Tab General] Pille69:
i never had a ipad. for me is that just something for igays. i cant see any apples any more. everywhere these iproducts. not that they are bad (the philosohy from apple - keep it simple and dont allow changings). alone from these reason i would never buy (or if i get it for free) any product.

i also think the ipad is to big any heavy. if i sit in the public transportation i see the junks with carrying a big device and i have my tab in my ass pocket (dont know what the word is for). i love the tab. i think the size and weight is exactly what people want.

but to be honest. the tab is still in development. apps are thousands out there but android have still a lot of mistakes and missing settings (like the standard camera app - no zoom). no outlook email integration and so on. but i dont regret the deal (i got 2 - the shop send me accicentily a second one - and as honest guy in these world, i keep quiet)

If you want zoom use the third-party camera App 'Vignette'. It has an excellent live crop tool which works in the same way as the digital zoom on a camera phone.
