[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
Where did I say that? There is obviously a good* reason it's being held. What I question is their contractual obligations that have made it so.

The update is ready, it has been ready since January, this is a fact. Now roll it out to consumers.

*) good doesn't necessarily mean you or I will see it as a valid reason - it is however a good reason from a business perspective.

Please show me where I've whined about anything? If you take a few minutes to go thru my post history you'll find that I really haven't - in fact I'm not even bothered about the NoDo update as it does not include any new features I need (Copy'n'Paste) and the bugfixes are few and far between.

As for coming out with what the problem is - I've done that several times already.

What I am bothered by is the fact it's taken them five months (three of which the update has been sitting on MSFT servers waiting for deployment) to bring out any update (not counting the pre-update as it did nothing in terms of UX) - in the same time Apple has provided five updates.

It doesn't matter if the reason is carrier testing or not - why is the update not being deployed to non-branded users or for carriers who have completed their testing? This update does not include any breaking changes that will cause fragmentation.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rhory:
MS are not holding anything off, the NoGo update like the rest of the phone just isn't ready, like I keep saying, much to the chagrin of the microites, an out and out Beta OS being tested on the plebs, us, who are paying handsomely for the dubious privelege.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
It may not be as polished as iOS though aesthetically it's 1000 times better but it certainly feels much more like a complete OS than android despite android having all the customization in the world.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
It must be groundhog day.

Apple update history

One could always counter all the updates Apple pushed out by saying there was more work to be done. I do not want to get into that whole debate, but let me just show how people can be very convenient when pick role models.

So since Apple is the role model of updates let us compare Apples to Apples.

Apple OS 1.0 released in June 29th 2007

Apple OS 3.0 released in June 17th 2009. This brought cut & paste and MMS.

So it took Apple approx 2 years to get cut and paste and MMS. It took WP7 5 months to get cut & paste and it had MMS from launch.

And you know, that is life. Yes you got a wave of updates initially in the Apple world but it took forever to get something like copy and paste. So where are we at? People need to get real. There are no perfect technologies, companies, and people.

These threads just start to sound like a bunch of petty whiners who forgot the struggles the other OSes had along the way.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
Forget rhory. He is clearly mad. On one hand it is a dumbphone, on the other it is a beta OS.
[General Questions and Answers] 1100 1110:
I am using a rooted HTC G2 with Clockwork recovery and Cyanogenmod 6.1.1.

I broke my launcher, ADW EX, using Ninjamorph; the phone now gets stuck on the boot animation.

My planned solution was to use adb install to restore a backup of ADW EX.

Using adb pull I pulled a backup of ADW EX and placed in C:\

I mounted /system and /data in recovery

Using adb from recovery I entered adb shell and removed the broken ADW EX with:

rm /data/app/org.adwfreak.launcher-2.apk

Next, I exited adb shell and entered:

adb install C:\org.adwfreak.launcher-2.apk

This generated the error:

/sbin/sh: pm: not found

I cannot get past this error and successfully install the application. I am learning as I go, any direction or assistance is welcome. I miss my Android :(
[General Questions and Answers] 1100 1110:
Solved

In case any other doofus' run into this situation.

As I have now learned, the "adb install" command will not work from recovery.

Because I had broken my launcher, and I had no alternative launchers installed, there was no launcher to hand-off to after booting; the result was an endless boot animation. Calls and notifications could still be received, etc. Most importantly, the phone was no longer in recovery and "adb install" could be used.

adb install C:\org.adwfreak.launcher-2.apk

Press "home"

Fixed.

hi,

in adb shell type:

cd /system/bin

cp pm ap_process /sbin/

exit

and now try again to install/uninstall the app.
[General Questions and Answers] nialexme:
I am getting error at second command

/system/bin >> cp pm ap_process /sbin/

cp pm ap_process /sbin/

cp: can't stat 'pm': No such file or directory

cp: can't stat 'ap_process': No such file or directory

can you tell why
[General Questions and Answers] hosseinb:
Sorry for my delay;

It's because the files (pm & ap_process) do not exist in /system/bin , try to locate them by "find" command:

adb shell

#find / -name ap_process

good luck

Does anyone know if Verizon will charge me if I use the mobile hot spot feature?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgjosho:
If you mean turning on "portable Wi-Fi hotspot" in wireless&network settings, then theoretically no. The Verizon mobile hotspot app relies on the subscription.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyandrade123:
Yes I do mean turning on portable Wi-Fi hotspot in wireless & network settings. Thanks for the reply :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topher180:
I have wireless tethering installed on my HTC incredible. Depending on the VZ store you go to, if they see your phone is ROOTED and you have the wireless tethering, they may charge you 20$ for that month for using the service. But there is no way for them to tell if you are or not with out physically seeing your phone.

I was in a VZ store the other day and the lady helping me had the Droid X rooted and she said she uses the wireless tethering all the time and she does not PAY for the service. so if your phone is rooted, then install Wireless tether and see how it works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyandrade123:
Can I just use the Wi-Fi mobile hot spot setting in wireless&network? I'm running cyanogenmod 7. Or do I have to download wireless tether to do it for free?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacobsjg1:
Wi-fi mobile hotspot works fine from cyanogenmod. I changed my notification bar to add the wifi hotspot button for easy access, and configured it as a secured network. It works as expected, nice and easy!

I want to upgrade my sdcard to an 8Gb c4 card (2gb card now)

It won't affect anything if i copy everything over to the new card then shut the phone off and install the new card

just wondering since i'm rooted and there are file on there

let me know if there is anything else i need to do.
[EVO Shift 4G General] griffindy:
that's exactly what I did when I got a new SD card, and I haven't noticed any problems
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Once you're rooted its okay to delete the shift folder from your sdcard

Sent from my HTC Knight using MikRom(again)
[EVO Shift 4G General] nurrwick:
When I did this, the applications that I had moved to the card didn't show up correctly. You may want to verify everything is there before you erase the old one; if things didn't make it, put the old card back in, move everything to the phone, and then do your swap and move them back to the card.
[EVO Shift 4G General] riggsandroid:
you dont want to delete the shift folder because it has your wimax backups. just in case you lose all your CWM backups.
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Ah forgot that's where they got backed up..I sent mine to /sdcard/WIMAX so I don't delete lol and then my desktop

Sent from my HTC Knight using MikRom(again)
[EVO Shift 4G General] jchappies:
So are you guys making a secondary backup (or copy) of your SDcard on your desktop\laptop too?
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mylenthes:
I have realized that my phone takes very long to boot after seeing videos of other peoples g2s. I saw a video of the stock g2 and it took 7 seconds excluding the htc splash. I saw another 2 videos that I didn't time but they were definitely faster than mine and they were using roms. I am running cm7 and my phone takes 34 seconds to boot excluding the splash. To me that is just way too long. How do I make it faster? Is it supposed to be like that?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibemad1:
They're running some form of HTC sense. The reason that they have such short boot times is because HTC came up with something called "FastBoot." What this does is sort of puts the phone into standby when you turn it off. When you boot it up again, it only takes about 10 seconds.

Cyanogenmod has an extremely fast boot time; about 30-40 seconds as you said. If those people in the videos you saw were to pull out their batteries, thus forcing a complete reboot, their phones would probably take about 1 minute to boot up. Just be glad you're not running the original stock rom; it has a horrendous boot time IMO, about 1:30 - 2 mins.

^_^
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pmcqueen:
on the contrary, my phone booted quicker prior to rooting and installing custom roms... but I think it has more to do with more apps than anything else. more apps, more widgets, slower boot time.

boot time doesn't bother me though as long as it's not excessive. under a minute for a smart phone is not excessive, especially if you've loaded it up with gobs of stuff on your homescreens. it used to take my Dream almost two minutes to get to home screen (and be responsive).. ahh, the ancient days.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mylenthes:
Oh thanks! They all were using sense so I guess your right. Good thing its not anything wrong with my phone.

Thanks again.

Pulled an all nighter for a little afternoon treat. Here is a Black Ops boot animation for any android device.

Important: These files I upload are not flashable via recovery, you need to push them via ADB or copy them to your SDcard and then placed in the correct system folder. User Tiffany84 will upload flashable zips for everyone shortly, please thank her for her work as well.

Instructions: Place or push via ADB the "bootanimation.zip" file just as it is downloaded into the system folder where your boot animations are located. The directories are either "/system/customize/resource" or "/system/media". I have included the mp3's for either directory, simply unrar and copy/push the files. "android_audio.mp3 goes into /system/media and "SPC_animation_final.mp3" goes into /system/customize/resource" you do not need both, its one or the other depending on your rom.

Here is a little .gif preview as well as the youtube link so you can see how it is supposed to sound. I hope you all enjoy!

As always, if you need help or have questions, please feel free to ask.

These are flashable zips of the bootanimation. The first one is for people that are on a rom that has the bootanimation located in system/customize/resource. The second is for people that are on a rom that has the bootanimation located in system/media. The audio is included in both of them. Enjoy.

Edit: I just tested the the one for roms that has the animation located in system/media and I had no sound. The animation looked great but I didn't have audio. I've never had any luck with audio for bootanimations that are stored in system/media. Sorry.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Digitalkarma:
after rebooting and watching the animation several thousand times, wouldnt it be cool to have HTC EVO 4G logo show up right at the end with a camouflage and ripple effect? The logo of course would be placed right in the middle where it always has been.

Every other time I reboot to show my friends, it never gets to the part where it shows Mason, or beyond that. The phone just comes up.

Any ideas? Is everyone elses running all the way through to the main black ops screen?

For once I want to watch my whole boot up anim hahaha...

****CRACKANUG, awesome though, seriously! So I can see the whole black ops part though, think you could make one without the green android stuff at the begining? Just start with the black ops montage?

Hi guys first i want to thank you for the hard work you put into this its totally awesome boot animation. now i just rooted my EVO yesterday and installed the sprint lovers rom, which is found here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830153 Anywho the flash zips don't work to install this animation. to install the animation on this rom -Using a file explorer such as Root Explorer, navigate to /data/animation and overwrite the files "bootanimation.zip" and "bootsound.mp3" with the files of your choice. Be sure to keep the file names exactly the same. and it works perfect.
