[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaphooko01:
wow! there should be a tutorial somewhere here, try the stickies. Basically your first step is to get rom manager from the market, open it then click on Flash Clockwork mod then pick vibrant. Next step is to pick a rom of your choice, I would try Bionix 1.2.1., d/l the zip file and transfer it to your internal sd card (do not extract). After thats done open rom manager again click on reboot into recovery. If the recovery is not in green letters choose install packages. When you have the green recovery choose back up and restore then back up. after thats done next choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card, then click on the zip file, then scroll down to install, let it do its thing and reboot. If you want to back up your apps then get the paid version of Titanium back up or don't. Good luck!

I looked around but having trouble finding a guide on creating icons.

I found a package that looks great and has most of the icons I want. It even included an empty with the same "reflection" just no text or picture on it. I was hoping that I could use it and some stock icon images to create the few that I am missing. If I can replace these last ones then my system will finally be themed just as I want it.

Some examples and the link to where I got the icons to begin with.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=935726

It is an amazing theme by itself but a little to bright colored for what I am looking for.

I wanted to create a few icons for some websites I frequent using the sites Logo for example. I know finding a logo to work with might be tricky but I have to start somewhere.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svenskamerican:
What do you guys think? I just got a new Vibrant from Asurion that I could sell for 300 bucs and then buy the Nexus S for 229. Is it worth the hassle?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmanham:
Im guessing you had to pay 130 or whatever it is for the new unit in that case I would say no id probley wait for the next gen of phones to come out.Right now my friend is gonna let me use his upgrade because he owes me money and is gonna let me use his upgrade to get nexus S or I could get a g2 or mytouch4g thinking about the mytouch but meh I have a vibrant atm if it werent for it being a nexus id doubt I would get it my point is probley not worth it for you
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhas_sm:
If you already have a current gen phone. Then No :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
if your good with the vibrant i'd say no.

But if you really want stock android, and you don't mind shelling out the money then go for it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
[Q] Nexus S vs Vibrant?

I'm trying to decide if its worth the cost to sell my Vibrant and get a Nexus S. The issues on my mind are:

1) Samsung is very slow on OS updates to the Vibrant. Who will be providing the updates to the Nexus S. Is it straight from Google or will it be through the many months of delay coming from Samsung/T-mobile?

2) The Vibrant doesn't have an FM radio. Does the Nexus S?

3) The Vibrant's GPS still doesn't work well for me after the fix. Is it known if the Nexus S has a well working GPS?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
1. Google will be supporting the Nexus S directly, so updates will be delivered OTA directly, not through Kies.

2. I don't believe either has an FM radio.

3. The GPS has been fixed on the rooted Galaxy S ROM's for a bit and the GPS chipset was specifically changed near last minute on the Nexus S. I haven't read anywhere that commented about this, but I feel very confident there won't be a problem with the GPS like the Galaxy S devices had when launched.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neok44:
1) The Nexus S is a google dev phone that way it will get the latest versions of android within 1-2 weeks of being announced as long as you remain stock.

2) According to the specs the Nexus S does not, but most devs are 99% sure that it's in there and just like the Nexus One will have to be enabled through a custom rom.

3) Samsung recently switched out the GPS antena in the nexus s, and the galaxy s issue was mostly software as they now work a lot better, so the Nexus S one should be just fine.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] going_home:
Is The Nexus S Worth a 2 Yr Contract ?

I was thinking about buying an NS but being its Christmas time,

and my contract has been up for a couple months (from the G1),

I was thinking about just re-upping a 2 year contract and get it for $199.00.

Now that its been in the hands of you genius's in here for a few days,

whats your opinion.

Is it worth a 2 year contract or should I wait on some of the dual core

phones rumored to hit next year ?

I just sold my G2 on CL and went back to my N1.

I need some honest opinions please.

EDIT: Question two:

As I was trying to re-up the contract last night at Best Buy,

I found all re-ups are shipped to you.

The only phones they had in stock were unlocked.

I'd like to know what the difference is between the unlocked one that

I would have to buy outright and the one I'd get shipped to me if I re-up a two year contract.

Thanks for the input.

:o
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debro012:
As far as the difference between the $529 version and the $199 version, there is not one. Naturally, anything you order online would have to be shipped(because they do not offer a in-store pick up option for this item.) When it comes to purchasing in the store it all depends on the location. If they sell T-mobile, they will be able to give you the phone upon purchase. As for the other stores, they are under contract with the other carriers not to offer T-mobile services, and thats why they "technically" can not upgrade and sell in store. they can sell the $529 version, because it is not labeled as an T-mobile product, because that is the price directly from the manufacturer. I was in your shoes when it came towards making a decision. I got the G1 when it was first released, and had not upgraded, or had another android device since. My job provided me with a blackberry, so i was just using that. I reallly missed android, so i figured why wait? it is a whole lot better than what i had (G1 and BB 8520). I bought two; one outright, and one on upgrade. If i had a N1 or G2, i would wait until March to consider an upgrade, but for ME, i had to make a move-i could not take it anymore!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
vibrant is better IMO

it has external SD, while the Nexus S has no external SD

the vibrant only lacks the front facing camera

everything else is basically the same
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
I had vibrant and only thing I liked more was all the codecs. And kept going back in forth couldn't decide if I wanted to keep nexus s but got a nice offer on my vibrant so...I'm happy now but do miss codec other than video support my nexus s is better don't care about 720p. Think I shot maybe 3 clips on vibrant to show off and 16GB is plenty for me. Had 32GB total on vibrant and never used more than 12gb and most was used up by 720p movies. I wanted for exclusive updates and more love from developers here ...I mean only been 2 weeks and already have CyanogenMod 7

But I also had vibrant for like 5months if u just got then idk I'd say keep vibrant it's great phone
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joser24:
.

if you want a vibrant on crack yes.

from 2.1 to 2.3 is a good enough reason.

screen is the same. even if the screen is a bit curved on the NS.

if you dont care for SD storage

i would def. jump from a vibrant to a NS. if you like that one you will love it. thats just MY opinion. seems like too many people here have the "NO DONT DO IT ITS THE WORST"

BE OPEN MINDED PEOPLE!

:D doesnt hurt to try. if all else fails return the NS and get another vibrant.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
Having owned the Vibrant prior to the Nexus S, I can say that I found it to be a massive upgrade. Yes, the hardware is pretty much the same, and you lose a few TouchWiz perks, as well as the microSD card slot, but I don't personally miss anything from the Vibrant, and Gingerbread is a quantum leap in speed, functionality, and efficiency as far as I can tell.

I recommend considering these questions:

-Is being able to mount SD storage important to you?

-Do you prefer the TouchWiz experience?

-Are you comfortable waiting for OS updates to clear with T-Mobile and Samsung?

-Does it bother you that phones with more powerful hardware will be available in just a couple months?

If your answers are "no," I'd say it's worth giving the Nexus S a shot (you can always return the thing within 30 days assuming you don't break it). If you answered "yes" to one or more of the questions, you're probably just as well or better off holding onto your Vibrant for now.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
Do you own an NS? Right, thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DKYang:
Also jumped from Vibrant to Nexus S. From my experience, the Nexus S is just better. It is faster and smoother. When I did a titanium restore, it was done very quickly compared to when I do it on the Vibrant (even after all those lag fixes and etc).

Anyways, I sold my Vibrant and made a profit, then bought the Nexus S. I plan on developing apps and wanted a phone that would get the latest updates (not via custom roms).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qreffie:
I went from a Vibrant to NS too and all I miss is the ability to play .mkv files. It's not a massive upgrade yet, but the main reason I switched is because of direct Google support.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolyan:
If u don't mod, then NS, if u do mod, then Vibrant. Vibrant running perfect on Froyo 2.2 Nero V3 and voodoo.

Edit: what I mean is stock Vibrant is slow and running 2.1, Nexus S is fast out of the box.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irishrally:
I have Gingerbread working perfectly on my Nexus S and Nexus One.

There will be plenty of dev support for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyz2kool:
out of curiousity, how is N1 performance when running gingerbread? Is it as fast as NS?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zorak950:
I think his point was that many of the things one might miss on the Vibrant that are available on the Nexus S are or will be made available to Vibrant users via third-party ROMs and mods.
[Android Apps and Games] Padkite:
Hi xda-developers,

We are about to launch PadKite in the Android market and we are currently collecting feedback from real users. Beta version now available for download at padkite web-page. As a new user we are not allowed to post links, please let us know your feedback on the application. You can also subscribe to our Beta Program. We are eager to hear your opinion.

PadKite is also an excellent app for tablets so we are also looking for people to test it on their tablets. Whether your multitouch device is a phone or tablet. Your feedback is very important to us. For any questions, please reply to this post or contact us at PadKite Contact us.

More about PadKite™: PadKite™ is the first multi-touch mobile mouse created to manage the tiny content on our cellphone screens. Never fumble or miss a target again. Breeze through favorite websites in a flash with customizable multitouch gestures. Post media and text to Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, all at the swoop of a fingertip.
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
Wow! This looks like an awesome tool!

There's only Éclair and Froyo versions available though, I'm running custom Gingerbread on my N1. :(

I tried running the Froyo version on my N1 anyway, but it Force Closes as soon as trying to open the app.

Any ETA on a Gingerbread version? I'm quite eager to try your product!

Hmm i dont trust this app i just installed and accept the agreement then nothing and why so big for a simple mouse app? 14mb
[Android Apps and Games] wdl1908:
They included the complete libwebcore.so in there effectively including a complete web browser in their so called mouse driver. What up with that?
[Android Apps and Games] opher50:
Just sitting and clapping my hands :]

looks wonderfulll .. Did anyone try it already ? does it seem safe and real? :D

btw: So I've understood that it is a browser like dolphin and others. .. does it include Flash? (btw does it have hebrew as other browsers?)
[Android Apps and Games] Padkite:
Hi xda-developers,

Hope you are enjoying flying the web with PadKite, the first multitouch mobile mouse.

Yes, it is a web browser. It includes extended Webkit libraries that makes it heavier. Hopefully these will be able to be submitted into the WebKit build on the near future. The application does not include Flash for the moment and does not run on top of the OS or other applications. As a new concept we are starting small running as a stand alone browser aiming to grow bigger. We are braking the mold on multi-touch interaction and that has to be gradually. As you might have notized it has a lot of potential.

Currently we are making adjustments in order to run in all versions. This requires a lot of effort however it will allow PadKite to run in almost all devices. If you want to run on a Gingerbread version, let us know via our contact form and it will be delivered shortly.

Some users have experienced problems with Android versions of FRG83D and FRG83. We are currently looking into this and we will come up with a solution shortly. If you have problems, running PadKite on your Froyo, please contact us via our contact form too or join our beta program. We need as much information as possible from our users (especially your Logcat). Also, take part in our beta program and you will be the first to get updated on new versions.

Please follow PadKite on Twitter and get up-to-date info on new builds at padkite account.

Thanks for helping us make PadKite even better!

Cheers,

looks great, I'm looking forward to trying it when its available for Gingerbread.. also it would be great to get the adobe flash integration working.. But looks like a great concept, original and useful.
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:
Bumping this, as it is a clear winner as a productivity tool, but so few people seem to have heard about it. I'm a huge fan, and that's based on only having seen the videos, as well as it partially working on a mate's Xperia X8 (the X8 lacks multi-touch, so is unable to take advantage of some of the more powerful features, such as text-selection via second finger-rotation, although as a pointer it works perfectly)!

Hoping they get back to me soon with an offer into the Beta program, as I'm dying to get this app! Also hoping they take it further, and fast, so that it becomes an integral Android feature, rather than just a browser tool.

This is a game-changer, people, so get on board and bring your family and friends!
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
Don't hold your breath on this one buddy. I gave up. I recieved 6 APK's from the dev...not one of the worked. FC every time. I was working on it with him for quite a time, and it never worked. Seems to only work on one or two phones.
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:
Won't be holding my breath, but certainly won't be abandoning hope! If those who have been able to get it working could post details of which model phones they have, as well as the models that haven't worked, plus current Android version, the devs might be able to narrow the issue down. Not sure if I'm able to start a new thread, being a noob and all, so if people could list the following in this thread it would go a long way towards getting us what we want:

Phone model

Android version (stock or rooted)

Whether it worked or not, and if not, at what stage it crashed, plus any further comments.
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
Send the dev any info you like...it didn't help. I was in contact with him for a few weeks. I don't 'abandon hope' unless it's time to abandon it. After emailing back and forth for a few weeks, then not hearing back from the dev for the last 3 months, I would say it's abandonment time.
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:
You do what you want, and I'll do what I want, and never the twain shall meet. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
Well thank you SO much for your diplomacy. :rolleyes: You must be new here. I was just sharing my findings. Did you even notice the last post before you necro'd this crappy app...was from Feb??? There is a reason for that.

Good luck with getting things figured out around here.
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:
Crappy app, perhaps, but only in terms of its failing to work for most who've tried it thus far. The idea itself is a brilliant one, I believe!
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
95% of brilliance is implementation.

I can think of a bazillion good app ideas...but making them actually work is where the real skill is. I am upset with padkite because they seem to have spent all this time on making a website and sharing the idea...then they spent 2 minutes actually BUILDING the app...and it's garbage.
[Android Apps and Games] xgustavoacex:
This looks fantastic. I downloaded and try to join beta program, to improve your software.

And 14mb is nothing, nowdays phones have 1gb or so of ROM space. Or move it to SD card.
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:
Are you suggesting that they faked the videos of padKite working on the Motorola (Droid?) phone? Because unless they did indeed fake the videos, then they had the app working on at least one phone! Obviously more than 2 minutes were spent, and I'm guessing the problem to be overcome is actually a rather minor yet befuddling one.

As stated earlier, I've seen padKite partially working on a mate's Xperia X8, so we aren't talking vaporware, here. Please, Mean Mr Mustard, change your heart and let hope in, and encourage others to do the same, instead of working against what you've already acknowledged is something good enough to upset you by virtue of not working for you.

There must be some out there who've been able to get padKite at least partially working. Chime in, fellows, and let's make this fairy well again!
[Android Apps and Games] Vince556:
Great concept but it doesn't work for me. I downloaded both froyo versions and after the introduction on how to use it they force close.

This is on a non rooted Droid Incredible.
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
You sir, are ridiculous. I am not at all suggesting the vid is fake...although, anyone COULD fake it with some freeware.

It is confirmed working on ONE phone (in the vid)..and PARTIALLY on another. (your buddies) Yet, I can bring you 100 examples of people that say 'it doesn't work'. The app came out at the end of 2010, and the last post in the app thread was over 3 months ago. No one can verify all the features fully work other than the dev. In fact, you are the first person that has been able to verify it at least semi-working on ANY phone.

So I guess, you just hang onto that hope, I will even email the dev to let him know there is ONE person still interested in development for his app. Then you can get the same 'I give up' email from him that I got. Have a good one bro. Enjoy your stay at XDA. Stop raping dead threads.:D
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:
In response to you, Mean Mr Mustard, I say thank you muchly for emailing on my behalf - I actually appreciate the effort by you, even though it would appear that yes, the horse has since died. I'm not afraid to aim for resurrection, and beyond! :cool:

PS I'm ignoring the rape comment, even though I could challenge the 'dead' implications by saying that as well as thee and me, two others have chimed in whilst we've sparred to add their interest. At the very least we've provided some amusement with our back-and-forth, I hope. All the best to you! :D
[Android Apps and Games] meanm50:
Vance posted 2 times...that is only one person...and he only chimed in to say he couldn't get it to work either! roflrofl. I really did email the dev. Told him there is some 'action' in his thread at XDA...
[Android Apps and Games] ashiningexample:

[Android Apps and Games] chillaxx:
I would seriously recommend reading the terms of agreement when first installing the app. Says something like you get a free app but have to pay for downloading it. What up with that? As you might have guessed. I declined and removed the app. For me to dodgy?

maybe it's just me??
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Most android apps do not require a separate version for each phone. Perhaps you could rewrite your app from scratch to correct this.
[Android Apps and Games] Padkite:
Thanks for the suggestion BenKranged but unfortunately its not that simple. We certainly had internal debates of this, but in the end chose this road to now be able to do all the nice and new features we wanted without having to wait for a new webkit version to appear. What we are doing cannot be done with native interfaces.

On my Galaxy S running Android 2.3.3 (JVH) this program force closes very frequently. It only worked well the first time I ran it after installing. In the first run it worked, but extremely slow (scrolling and identifying a click etc). Selecting text was difficult too; the cursor did not behave as smoothly or intuitively like their demo video.

My initial impression of this app is very poor. If they can fix the force closing issue and improve performance then perhaps it has a chance. But at this stage , at least on Galaxy S (2.3.3) it is unusable.
