Is it really the first time that Google installed things remotely? At least they updated apps without interaction on my mobile. And these updates can contain any code they want. So who saves you from Trojans that come inside, say, Maps? Also, some devs showed that apps can install other apps without the user even notices that (I think there was a malicious angry birds app)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] colindodds:
I am thankfull as they state only being sent to infected phones as we have few android phones and only my one got message so yes im glad there doing this
[Galaxy S I9000 General] blazevxi:
Well going by the trouble that Google got with street view in the EU, im not sure they'd like to risk more fines

i love the idea

that will keep our phones clean, and warez free
[Galaxy S I9000 General] C-o-M:
Would be better to fix the bugs, though...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Not too comfortable with this because if google can do it even a hacker can do it.

Also I noticed that after I did a search for CMS in google, the next day I got email from a CMS vendor, so think about it, very weird to the say the least. This has happened many times.

And Elvis is still alive...

Google has already an app with root and net access on the phone: the Market (or the services behind). Otherwise they could not install or uninstall anything on the phone. And yes, market is able to install without notifying the user. But if they're doing this well and encrypt the communication, no hacker should be able to use this feature to break into your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ttf:
My grandma said: never say never :D

Well it's not really about hacker problem, it's more about a non gouvernmental entity with that much power...but well some can live with it, i just can't.

Nice try to protect the market.

Imo to those that worry about privacy well from the moment you were born you were on a record on a database that can be accessed by hackers, Your face is taken pictures of everyday you leave the house thanks to CCTV. NO information is safe but if there is a measure to try and keep it a little bit safer so much the better.

Kudos to Google for dealing with the issue and doing it so it's not a nuisance to the end user.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ttf:
That's the easiest way to dismiss the question but irrelevant to me.

I'm not sure the UK is an good example about privacy, it happened only because citizens let it happen.

Sacrifying some privacy/liberty for a safer condition is a big subject.

Anyway, i consider my phone as a private area, noone have the right to get in without my consent no matter what (yes i know...thief/hacker/government do so).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lip008:
I'm starting off fresh after trying Android on the TP2 months ago. Didn't have to tinker with much then and didn't have any issues. Downloaded BLAZN 2.2.2 With CAM AND HQ VIDEO SUPPORT 2011.03.06 to the root of the sdcard and am getting the above error. I guess I'm confused why this zip didn't have the zimage/module files. I see the zimage/module files in the files folder. Am I supposed to grab the ones for my device type and drop in the root of the sd card? From what I was reading it seemed like those were needed if wanting to get camera support and keyboard backlight working but shouldn't their be a default zimage/module once extracted?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] immson:
copy the zimage file acouple folders down and paste it in the root

Would anyone have a copy of the adhoc-fix.zip that used to be on Dexter's site? From what I have researched on the forum threads, I need to install this after Dexter's mod 1.3 to tether through my Droid with Barnacle.

If I am going down the wrong path, please feel free to elaborate.

Thanks in advance!
[A7 General] tdively1:
A great big thanks to ninetoes49 for the link to the adhoc-fix.zip file. This did the trick to create an open tether to Baracle. I would really like to thank Dexter as well for all the great work he has done on the mods. I have seen mention of donating to Dexter for his efforts. How might I go about doing that?

I unrooted my evo the other day after I got the Atrix. So today I decided to pull it out and do a little comparison type stuff. When I went to open my camera, it was just a blank black screen. It was also a blank black screen when I opened the camcorder app as well. I did a factory reset but that didn't fix the issue either. Anyone has any ideas?

[Xoom General] bimori:
Does anyone have issues with verizon data on the Xoom. When i'm on wifi, everything is ok, but when using verizon 3G, i get very flaky reception everywhere. I could be on full 3G signal, then all of a sudden, i go to no signal at all. I have to wait out 1-3 minutes sometimes for the 3G signal to come back. It's been very frustrating. I am in Dallas, TX where reception is pretty good. I want to keep the Xoom so bad, but if I cant use my 3G service then its of no use.

Is this normal with verizon service or the unit might be faulty??
[Xoom General] dino325:
I havent experienced any problems with signal on my Xoom. It actually gets a better signal in places that my Droid Incredible has none or a very weak signal. If you have any issues within the first 14-30 days depending on where you purchased, I would definitely exchange for a new device. No use getting stuck with something thats defective.

Has any one been able to install this on the gtab? even with a samsung build prop, and sprint or verizon on the market enabler I am unable to get this app :(
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] GTablet:
Here are the settings I use in my G Tablets Build.prop file at I can see the app in the Market.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] manikin13:
Well that will be a start atleast. I will try this build as well.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] GTablet:
Just make sure you are commenting out the old lines if you leave them in the file.

Use the "#" at the beginning of the line to comment it out.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] manikin13:
I have a about 6 different fingerprints. I rotate through them to sse what is available. the cdma one is new to me so it will get thrown into to the rotation.

NOTE: to anyone using a similar strategy for apps: always continue to rotate as updates only show up when a matching build is used.

and yes you have to comment out "#" any line you want ignored.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] shieb:
Is there an app that can do this for you?
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] manikin13:
Root explorer. Its is a pay app but invaluable if you have any rooted android device.

the alternative is adb from the dev kit.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
I always use 210 lcd density and it makes the unlock screens stretch some elements or just make the elements too short (rotary unlock) so I just did a simple edit and got rid of the circle that's around the "puzzle piece" you use to unlock the phone and made 2 simple ones for now. I plan to make better "puzzle pieces" and also the place where you place the puzzle piece to match.

Go here if you don't know how to use MetaMorph to apply themes!! Thanks to ultra spikey!

Big thanks to the original creator jambulo (link here) for making the original idea :D!

All of these screenshots are on LCD Density of 240 (normal screen density).

This is the radiation puzzle piece. (The zip has a black/white unlock on the right side instead of blue that's in this picture.)

NEW!! Sun and Rainy Cloud (going to add the double rainbow to it later haha)

With a cute rainbow and it puking colors.

Rainbow puking version 1.

Rainbow puking version 2 (the one I currently use).

Do note that the skins are more "vibrant" than they appear.

Screenshot added.

And yes I do plan on making even better ones but that'll be later when not busy with school and such so stay tuned :o. I am pretty savvy with photoshop so I expect myself to make some really badass ones and a variety of different ones.

I am running bionix 1.3.1 but this should work on any ROM regardless because you're just editing the pictures.

For ONLY the circle removed from the unlock.

Download attachment "honeylock-v1.0-no-circle" and install using metamorph.

EDIT

Let me know if MetaMorph stays stuck at applying the theme!!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DigitalWerewolf:
looks pretty sweet i like it thanks

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
I'm going to update them to remove the "Fit Puzzle Here" which is going to be from the original author jambulo.

Haha I'm going to make like a double rainbow version where when you don't put your finger on it it'll be one rainbow, then when you place your second finger it'll put the second rainbow haha.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DigitalWerewolf:
intersting cant wait to see it :D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
About to start the double rainbow one, it'll look awesome!! I might end up using it daily lol.

Added the sun and rainy cloud by itself which is going to be the main buttons for the double rainbow.

After the double rainbow ones I'll also take requests ;p.

Oh and guys don't worry, I'm actually going to make really badass skins for it. The sun and cloud and double rainbow ones are just for fun.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
Made a skin with a rainbow puking on your screen when you press on the puzzle piece to unlock it lol. I use it right now, it's awesome haha.

Was thinking about making it puke skittles instead of a rainbow... who's with me?? I'll probably do it anyway then start with the cool skins.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tomasitoc:
I like it, very cool

Where did you get the segmented battery?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DigitalWerewolf:
omg i love the sun and the cloud you da man!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
The segmented battery is part of a skin called androdena. It's an amazing theme. If you just want the battery you can download the theme and just take out the png's for the battery and use with ninja morph.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] tomasitoc:
thanks for the tip
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
Thinking about simple skins and awesome overlays but any suggestions?

Want to make one to match that androdena theme.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] edint3000:
From what theme is that blue status bar clock?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] riskaa:
I love the sun and cloud unlock theme.

Do you know if this will work with the SweetHoney 2.5 ROM?

Also, how do i install this unlock screen?

(a newbie to flashing etc)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
It's from a theme called Androdena... best blue lover's theme out there.

It should. It ONLY changes like 5 specific image files and nothing else. Always make a NANDROID backup just in case.

You download an app called MetaMorph from the market and when you open it, on the left it should say "open/extract new theme" and press it, go to where you downloaded the zip file (don't open or rename the zip file or it won't install right) and just press the .zip file's name, MetaMorph will do it's thing and ask you some things and just say "yes" or "ok" to all the pop ups and it should start installing, might take like 15 seconds, then it'll ask you to reboot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] trdexalbee:
The sun and cloud was stuck at applying theme. Using simply honey 2.5, I did everything you said ^^
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
Did you rename the original zip?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Digitalthug:
Simply Honey uses drawable-hdpi-v4, so you have to go into the HoneyLock zip and rename that folder.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] buru898:
Oh thank you digital thug. I'll thank you when I get to a computer and put that in the op.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] trdexalbee:
I did not change the original name of the zip. I just placed it on my SD and selected the zip file. Metamorph unzipped it to a folder of the same name and I went inside that folder and renamed "drawable-hdpi" to "drawable-hdpi-v4" It is still stuck at the screen

EDIT: I tried going into the original zip and changed the name of that folder as well. I select the zip file directly and it still hangs at the applying theme. Did I rename the folder right? Also, is it possible that I need a theme that is compatible with 2.2.1 since SH 2.5 is based on the I9000 2.2.1 rom?
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bl4k0p2:
i just tried the radioactive screen lock and i wreaked havoc on mine running simply honey vibrant v1...

Im thinking that it just may not be compatible, but that doesnt make it any less awesome...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twistedneck:
using vlc streaming to get movies from my phone, working really well. just fire up vlc on your pc and change a couple settings.

my only issue is the videos are squeezed and aspect ratio is stretched vertical. the aspect ratio no matter what the input video always outputs a stream that is tall and skinny. i have tried changing the aspect on every vlc setting on phone with no luck. also tried using mp4 for the codec instead of h264, still the same issues with incorrect aspect ratio. looks like a 16:9 got smushed into a 4x3 or worse.

Apart from that, the player works very well no dropped frames, any format that your pc vlc can play works in the phone now since the pc converts on the fly. my quad core i7 760 uses about 15% processor to stream live.

[Nook Color General] amtrakcn:
I'm new to Nook, please don't blame me if it's a stupid qustion...

Got my Nook yesterday and installed customized nookie froyo 0.6.8

Everything else is fine but the video playback.

From the instructions Froyo on Nook should have video playback capability and actually I went through the Quadrant test. However when actually playing videos, it seems all the video players I tried(Rock, Mobo, Vital) were soft-decoding. Also any app that try to use the system video playback feature will not work, ex. mVideoPlayer, Asphalt 5 and so on.

I checked the original nookie froyo and there is no system video player either. Why? :confused:
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
Because the Nook's default player is VERY picky. Until I purposefully encoded files to work for it, I could only get the softplayer to work. Here is a file I made, if it works you know that is your problem:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V2HNIE7R
[Nook Color General] silentbushido:
Which video conversion application did you use? Was it HandBrake? Any kind of information would greatly be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
[Nook Color General] rainmakerrc:
Handbrake has worked the best for me in my experience. There is a thread here in the forums re settings that produce files that play very well using the Nook's hardware decoding.
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
There's no video player app per se but if you go to gallery you can click on a video file and it will play it back.

Look for the handbrake preset thread as has been stated. Any videos that you're attempting to play back that have a resolution higher than 854x480 will need to be re-encoded to that resolution or lower, preferably at H.264 BASELINE. Hardware acceleration on the nook is very limited, which is the reason you'll have issues with various apps as you're experiencing. It is what it is.

Having said that, lower res videos like TV shows encoded in xvid in avi format play back fine for me using Mobo Player on nookie froyo. If it's HD though (720p or higher) forget it . .

if you arent using cygnogen mode so you cant uninstall a theme. But if the theme generator made an update.zip for turning your phone standard version. If generator didnt make an update.zip you have to install official rom to remove theme

I just updated to Gingerbread. I used ADW and LauncherPro without issues on FRG83, however, in GRI40. It gets knocked out of memory (I think) everytime I open an app. So when I click home and choose one or the other, it has to always redraw the screen and the app drawer, taking atleast 2 to 5 seconds. I have used the same settings I did on FRG83 (system persistant, prevent FCs) and it has not helped.

Can anyone provide some suggestions?

Has anyone downloaded 2011.......... and compared the scores......epic now for everyday uses scores significantly lower on 2011 I am running synicates newest rom twilight kernal 1.2...setcpu i've tried on demand, conservative, and performance........from what I have concluded new stress test has dropped out scores.
[Epic 4G General] lballer69:
Syndicate *****
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
The lower score is because Smartbench 2011 replaces the File I/O tests with additional CPU tests. A large percentage of the 2010 score was File I/O.

Quote: "Some of the test suits have been revamped from Smartbench 2010. File IO tests have proven to be somewhat inconsistent on some manufacturers' phones. Instead, another test has been introduced that will further stress the CPU."
[Epic 4G General] intx:
This AND the fact that the new baseline score is the G2, not the Nexus One as in 2010.

[Epic 4G General] quik99:
smartbench also does some test desinged for dual+ cores so thats why our scores drop
[Epic 4G General] Acei:
Everything here is absolutely correct. One of the reason why I used the year number as part of the app name is so that I can change the baseline and test apps. Once these are changed, previous scores are no longer comparable, hence it really deserves a new name. As you may have guessed, Smartbench 2012 will again feature more refined set of tests and the baseline will probably be based on higher specced phone once again. By doing this, I can keep the high-end scores in check as well. :)
