Which one is worse?

Loud chewer or a pen chewer.
[Off-topic] tzzeri:
Pen chewer.

Do you chew pens?
[Off-topic] Mokiwipeout:
Aw hell no!

Same
[Off-topic] tzzeri:
Only if they're chocolate flavoured :D

I once lent a pen to a friend for an exam, and it came back all chewed up. This was after I warned him not to chew it, as I knew he was a pen chewer.

Toyota or Nissan?

Toyota !!

Hello,

Recently the "Gamefaqs Offline Reader" was updated to v2.0. I could only find v1.1 on the web (handango) which is very out of date. I can't find it on the market, Fast Web Install is still broken on every Wildfire ROM I've tried, and the so-called Patched Markets seem useless on CM7-RC1.

The author of the app hasn't updated his blog in a long time, and has not sent an email to those who asked even though he said he would....

If someone could fetch the APK and share it, I would be SO grateful!
[Android Apps and Games] UlysisAM:
I just checked the market and the app is on there.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bean.gamefaqs
[Android Apps and Games] CosmicDan:
I already knew that, its on AndroLib and AppBrain but as I said Fast Web Installer is still broken as are the Patched Markets, region faking has no effect, so the problem is that the developer is too lazy to add the MDPI-compatible flag (or whatever) thus I can't see it at all.
[Android Apps and Games] CosmicDan:
Nevermind, solved it via the Android SDK Emulator method. Thanks anyway.
[General Questions and Answers] tattedupboy:
Ok, so I just downloaded the Big DX Crystal theme, and was looking at the installation instructions for it, and I have some questions.

The instructions say simply to place the zip file on the SD card, boot into DX bootstrap, and apply zip.

Before I try this, I just want to be sure that the steps of making a backup of the current ROM, wiping user data and cache, installing zip, and rebooting aren't the ACTUAL correct steps. I've bricked a phone before from not following those exact steps, and I don't want to do it again. Or, is this process correct, with Big DX Crystal being more a theme than a ROM?

Also, MUST Liberty first be installed for this to work, or can I install it on top of Big DX Serenity or the stock ROM? I have both Liberty and Big DX Crystal saved on a flash drive and ready to install, but not until I'm absolutely sure of the correct way to install them.
[General Questions and Answers] tattedupboy:
Ok, so I successfully installed Liberty 1.5 and installed the Big DX Crystal theme on top of it (although it turns out I didn't need to download Big DX Crystal beforehand; it was included as a theme in the Liberty Toolbox). I'm having a couple of issues though. First, no more Motoblur! (Yes, I know most of you on here don't like it, but I do, especially its ability to sync with Facebook contacts). Secondly, no Backup Assistant! Thirdly, it seems not to be letting me set up my Yahoo email accounts. What gives?

Is it possible to get the eLocity A7 to run Ubuntu or Windows?
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Windows is a no.

Window Mobile might be a possibility.

The Ubuntu idea is kind of intriguing, I think Ubuntu Netbook Remix may have actually supported the ARM processor architecture. Gonna have to look into that.

No matter what though, there will be sizable performance problems.
[A7 General] touchpr02:
Windows Mobile would be amazing to dual boot on this, but along with ubuntu, it ran perfectly on my IBM 1.5 Ghz single, no reason it shouldn't run perfectly on a 1.0 Dual core
[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Its not an apples to apples comparison. Completely different processor architecture. Completely different instruction set. Not even on the same page.
[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
It's very cruel but... Moreover to port Windows Mobile we need WM SDK and sources. And the main problem - how to build drivers (between OS and hardware layers). They are not similar on android drivers and no one employee who builds our tablets will not give it to us. Never.

Simple way to get WM - go to store and buy WM tablet) Truly)

Another way - buy dual or triple-boot chinese tablet like SmartQ.

Yeah, Viewsonic has one model with dualboot - Viewsonic Viewpad 10 (don't confuse with G Tablet) with WM and ... Android 1.6

But, I think they are taking the mickey out of us))
[A7 General] robbbzilla:
Why would you want Windows on this device? Seriously the performance hit would cripple any use. I wondered about Ubuntu or more realistically another type of light linux like Vector linux or slackware. It would run fine on this device if as the previous poster pointed out that the arm processor is supported.

I think the issue you would run into is touch sceeen supporr and drivers. So you would be able to install and but may not be able to use.

Honestly Android is so good on this device I thnk I woupd rather focus on Honeycomb rather than another os. Why re-invent the wheel when you don't need to.

[A7 General] cbotd:
The single touch hardware of the elocity may actually make the Ubuntu multitouch drivers work smoother. I have made many a touchpad emulate multitouch in Ubuntu and now 10.04 and above supports it straight away.

Interesting idea to find out. I had Ubuntu working well on the Dell duo netbook with the flip screen, but the axis info got messed up after a reboot of Linux when the screen would flip from netbook to tablet. Other than that the accelerometer and touch (even pinch to zoom on single touch screen) worked well.
[A7 General] mouse2600:
Ubuntu and Android are both based on the GNU/Linux OS. The core OS and the drivers are all the same. You can just move the driver files that are on the stock A7 to any Linux based OS with the same class CPU (arm/intel/ppc/etc). Unless it changed recently, the Linux kernel supports running drivers that are compiled for a different kernel version so you can even mis-match kernel-driver versions if you want (and are a little lucky). There isn't any reason why you can't just leave the stock A7 kernel/drivers and replace all the Android files from Ubuntu/Slackware/whatever as long as they are compiled for the right CPU class. Android is just a collection of open source software configured to work together the way Google wanted. Android isn't a real OS or even a real piece of software. It's just a very hacked up GNU/Linux OS that Google ripped off from the open source community and tried to sell. The open source license allows them to sell it, but requires that they also give the source code for free. That's why so many "unofficial" Android devices don't work with Google's apt store. Google blacklists anyone who doesn't pay them to use "their" open source software. If you removed the open source GNU/Linux from Android you would have less than 1% of the original byte count and nothing useful...

[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
If using a WiFi connection, switch to 3G connection and it'll work. If you are using 3G connection and it comes up, just keep retaping and it'll work. If all else fails, go to m.youtube.com and search for the video. IF it's able to be played on mobile you will be able to tap on the video and play it. Before playing it, the UI will prompt you to choose an application to open. Rather than choosing youtube, choos HTC flash player. It'll work like a charm :)
[General Questions and Answers] demonblod:
I have a Samsung Captivate. I had 2.2 on it, rooted. But I wanted to put a custom ROM on it, I wanted to try Serendipity to start off with. I used ODIN to get it back to stock, unrooted 2.1. I followed the directions on the Serendipity page, I rooted my phone again, but it is still in 2.1

I'm at the step where I put Serendipity (or any other ROM) on my sd and then flash it, but when I go to recovery mode to flash, my phone just goes to the stock Android recovery. It does this whether I do it manually (hold down volume and power buttons), manually through ROM manager, or automatically through ROM manager. I was wonder if anyone had any ideas?

When I try to reinstall a package (as an update.zip) it just says that it cannot verify the signature.

The root problem is that I cannot get my phone to go into clockwordmod recovery. I tripled checked that my recovery was set to Samsung Galaxy S Captive (v2.5.1.2)

Is there any app/kernel out there that can invert colors on the screen? I do a lot of reading, and nice bright screen of the Captivate is really giving me a tan :) Is there anyway to invert colors like the way you can on the iphone? I have found individual applications that do white text on black support for stuff like RSS and email, but nothing at a system level. For eg, I am reading a book in the pdf format, but none of the ebook readers or pdf readers gives me the option of inverting colors. Would be great if I could just invert colors system wide and not have to worry about applications :)

Any suggestions? I have paragon rc6 running on Captivate.

Anyone know of any apps (current or in development) that allows for text messages that come in to an android phone to be answered and responded to from a tablet?

I know theres similar functionality for answering from a computer, but this would be great over wifi or bluetooth.

(Also thinking out loud here, if the two are paired over bluetooth, would it be at all possible with some kind of development to use the tablet like a headset to answer or place calls from the phone?)

These are things that I dont expect people to say "Heres an .apk" but want to get these ideas out into the open to see if anyone has anything to contribute or point us in the right direction.

Try using Google voice on both phone and tablet with the same account then you can get ye messages and text.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Thanks but...

1) Google voice isnt currently available for the Xoom.

2) I'd like something that doesnt require me to notify all my contacts of a number change and have them be confused about which is actually my cell phone number.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
Google voice works fine through the browser
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jackoutside:
Yes you can. You can send texts from your phone on your tab using the free app Remote Web Desktop.

This app gives you your phone desktop on your tab, send texts, add files to your SD card, etc.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Gotta admit, that one is pretty great, i can see myself using it on my comp.

A little sluggish and slow on the tablet going through the browser though.

What im looking for is essentially the functionality of that on the phone side, but a dedicated app on the tablet, obviously optimized for the screen real estate and interface that will refresh on its own, have its own notifications on the tablet etc.

Basically an app that looks and acts like a dedicated sms client on the tablet, only its doing all the actual sending and receiving on the phone side and pulling it over wifi or bluetooth.

This is basically what HP has in store for the touchpad and pre3 so im not exactly expecting someone to just link to it and move along. I'm really hoping someone developing some kind of similar solution sees this and reaches out to the community.

Thanks for the suggestions and please keep them coming...always love seeing new apps.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] altimax98:
I want this kind of app too... heres my reason. My phone sits on its dock once i get home in the bedroom and i tether the wifi to my tab. So i dont have it nearby but my nook always is

[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Another reason is that its much more comfortable to text and type from the tablet. (Its amazing how tiny my Incredible feels after using the Xoom for a few days.)

Like the previous post says, if I can be sitting on the couch with the tablet, leave the phone plugged in in my room, and get notifications etc on the tablet that would be great.

Plus, if i'm gonna be using the tablet more and more around the house, it would be much easier to sit there with one device on my lap instead of constantly switching between the tablet to the phone when I get a text.

Think of it as a phone extender where the main phone functions are accessible on the tablet over WiFi or bluetooth, whatever is easier.

I concur. This is one thing I did like about the Galaxy Tab before I sold it for the Xoom...I could answer email and TXT from one device. When you're at home using your Xoom it does make a difference in lifestyle having to grab my phone every time it beeps for a TXT...lets face it most people don't talk as much over the phone as they used to.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
I've been thinking about this alot over the past couple of days even to the point that I began to investigate and play around with the Android SDK to see what I might be able to do, which is not alot at the moment.

I thought of this app functioning as follows:

1) We currently have a bunch of applications that allow the user to view and respond to their text messages through an interface on the browser or computer application using an app on the phone that "broadcasts" the messaging features of the phone out over either WiFi or bluetooth. (For example, the ones mentioned earlier in this thread.)

2) We also have something called "Remote Notifier" that sends out a "ping" when a new message is received to a listening service on a computer which notifies the user on the desktop.

3) If the existing functionality of those two are combined, we have an application that can put together a list of the messages on the phone (primary location), send it out to a secondary location (in this case a tablet), while also notifying the secondary location (tablet) of a new message received.

The app on the phone also gives the secondary location the ability to respond and edit the message list on the phone.

4) The second piece of the equation we would need is an app for the tablet, preferably optimized for the screen size in a 5manner similar to the way Gmail and the native email client handle messaging, (with a list of messages on the left, and the conversation view on the right) that allows the user to browse their messages on the phone and reply within the app.

If the app on the tablet could "look" to the phone as the service provider instead of the network, I could even see notifications being created from within that app and displayed on the tablet just as if it was actually receiving the texts itself.

While I am technical enough to debug a little and troubleshoot alot, I don't have the programming background to create this from the ground up. Is there anyone out there that would be interested in working with me to build something like this?

I feel as though I have the Idea of how this will function pretty well planned out, and if there is someone who wants to do the legwork involved in the building/programming, I can definitely write and draw up use cases, user flows, and wire-frame designs for how both sides of the application would work in both the front and back end.

So, is there anyone out there interested in and capable of helping to put this together for the community? I really feel that if it is done well enough, it could take off and maybe even Google would take notice and build it in natively moving forward...If they're not already working on it.

Thoughts, questions, concerns? I would appreciate any and all feedback.
