[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tEcHiOr:
Privacy, of course!

Bump.

@Dj21o: With respoect, I can think of at least one good reason why this setting should be "settable" and that is privacy. I may be in an environment where I don't want just anyone to be able to see an SMS as it arrives just by looking at my screen.

The fact that you would prefer it this way is, of course, good, too, but I think ther choice should be in the hands of the user.

Don't youy agree?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj21o:
Yeah, it should be available for those that want it, and for those who don't... It is a simple setting that make it a big deal for users, and I can totally see where you are coming from. Sometimes my phone unlocks, and that is swiping left to right. I imagine it happens much more swiping up lol.

There is a site where you can put down ideas for developers to look at, and people vote for them. I can post the link of the site if you want. :)

Here is the site, you can post your ideas accordingly to what type of idea it is.

I just want to know exactly why you want this? Yes it can be abit bright at the first glimpse but isn't there a bigger risk for falling asleep if you just press a button, instead of actually opening your eyes?

Nothing against what you like/dislike, I'm just asking, why.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puunda:
I got a Dell Streak after using only HTC, which had the HTC Sense. Sense had a lot of tweaks which I got used to which was not available on the Streak.

I've been adding programs and widgets and have got my streak to almost what I'm used to. There's still a few things I'm missing, but I can live with that.

What I'd like to have is the old HTC Sense used to pull dates from my Facebook (birthdays and events) and would put them into my calendar. I found this very handy. Is there a way I can get this functionality for my Streak?

I am running the nightly build 7. It is my understanding that if I wanted to flash the newest one I..

1. Put the .zip file on my SDCard

2. Create a backup of what I am currently running

3. Not wipe anything and flash the Rom

4. Business as usual

Is this correct? Will I have to flash GAPPs again? Will I have to restore all of my apps or will my phone basically be the same with the exception of the updates?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tatdude806:
That is pretty much it, though if you have issues, you will need to do a full back up/wipe and re-install, other wise you are good to go. I just write the current cm7 over mine with no wipe and everything is just fine! Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
it is always good practice to wipe dalvik and cache though, just my two cents... as that is how i do my update
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tatdude806:
The only time I do that is if I am going from a nightly to a rc... I have found no benefit doing it from a nightly to a nightly. But hey we all do it differently, whatever works right ! ;)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrelephant:
yes, you are correct! we all have our methods, and so long as you dont end up with a $500 paper weight then its all good!!! i personally am now starting to do a full wipe including sdcard for every flash, just cause i seem to see less problems and such with such practices, but i back up everything!!! there are a million different ways to do this, and it is all based on your preferences... best of luck and keep on learning!!!
[Off-topic] Sakujou:
Hey, I would like to know how many developers for the roms/kernels would use this if I were to set it up.

I'm currently setting up an android website that would list latest news and all that, and if developers would like I can give free mirror hosting for their roms/kernels, no ads, no wait time, no registration crap, I'm personally tired of going megaupload/freeupload etc and waiting 60 seconds or having to find the "real download link" which is why I am setting this up and asking how many would use it?, completely free, the developers would just need to email me the file or I may setup a special username for them to gain access to upload to the mirror page.

I would make it so each device has their own page, but all the roms/kernels are on one page seperated by the developer who did it, so you don't have to search through many topics etc..all on one page for each device.

Great Idea Ill pass it around to let them know

[Off-topic] Sakujou:
wow!! Okay So literally A YEAR later LOL! (Sorry been busy with work and school)

I can say I will probably be launching my site in the next week or two! I really hope some developers will enjoy free mirrors etc :) Minimal ads (Just a couple google ads) and none of this "Wait 5 seconds to download" crap!

SO Who's ready for SOME MIRRORS? :D
[Off-topic] cajunflavoredbob:
The reason sites do the wait five seconds thing is to allow more time for users to view and possibly click ads, thus increasing revenue. If you are seriously trying to undertake an arduous thing like this, you may want to reevaluate this stance. Server costs for the bandwidth and storage are going to be astronomical if you plan to offer this to anyone on XDA provided it takes off.

[Android Themes] dskrilz:
I just wanted to share this three part Honeycomb style icon(s). I use it with ADW Launcher, but you may be able to use it w/ Launcher Pro (I don't know if it lets you use 3 icons all linking to the app drawer like ADW does).

this is the new look. I made an icon for the dialer; I had tried a few but a lot of them were too tall to fit well with a lot of the cool dock backgrounds that were added to the Honeycomb ADW theme (without being resized really small), so I made a dialer icon to match the height of the apps+ button.

here you go:

this is the (new) look for the dock will be achieved:

matching dialer icon:

for the remaining icon in between, i just used a blank (completely transparent) .png file so it wouldn't have the little "+" plus sign in between

I linked this icon to the dialer as well, so if you press anywhere on the left side of the dock it goes to the dialer and anywhere on the right it goes to the app drawer. this worked out nicely. i actually like this interface better than stock and i changed it for aesthetic purposes only.

this is the old/alternate version without the dialer if you like the centered look

(they are white w/ a transparent background so they don't show up well on this page, but they are there)

Pt 1

Pt 2

Pt 3

P.S.

here are 2 other misc icons i made to go w/ the Honeycomb theme

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjamin Dobell:
I only have access to two international Galaxy S (GT-I9000) devices, 8 GB from the UK and 16 GB from Australia. I am only able to personally test Heimdall's functionality with these two devices. However in the past users have had success using Heimdall with the GT-I9000, Captivate, Vibrant, Galaxy Tab, Epic 4G, Fascinate and various GT-I9000 variants (GT-I9000T, GT-I9000B etc.)

I'd be more than happy to test Heimdall on other devices if I could get my hands on them. If there's anyone out there with a Galaxy S device they're no longer using then donation of said device would be extremely helpful.

I've been thinking about all the things that have gone on here lately with devs leaving and people causing trouble in threads being pains in the butts and generally ruining everyones good times. I know the first reaction is to jump and pounce and give them everything you got. But that's what internet trouble makers want. They have nothing else going on in their lives and mommy and daddy obviously didn't give them much attention. My idea is to 100% completely ignore them. Don't even dignify what they say with a comment. Report them to a mod and move on. This is a great site with alot of good people and a wealth of info. Its time we rid this place of the malcontents.

UPDATE (14th June 2011):

We are now over the 10,000 mark.​

I have now spoken with Motorola and gotten confirmation that Motorola plan to unlock every device that will get an update in the second half of this year. This will include maintenance & firmware updates, but is still subject to Carrier approval.

The promising sign is that Verizon has already allowed Motorola to unlock a device on their network, the Xoom, which utilizes the unlockable/re-lockable model that Motorola intends on using across their devices.

I'm still looking to work with Motorola in the coming months to help see if we can make this a smooth process for Motorola and the community.

You can read the article here:

Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.

UPDATE (26th April 2011):

We are now at ~8,700 mark.​

Motorola has now responded to me, stating that they are looking at unlocking bootloaders across their devices late 2011.

The article for the story can be found here:

http://ausdroid.net/2011/04/26/the-little-aussie-taking-on-motorola-u-s/#more-8184

We're still seeking clarity around whether this will be for current devices or only future devices.

I couldn't have gotten this far without the support of everyone here. You guys and girls have been a huge support and help me turn this snowball into a wrecking ball.

Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.

Previous Update (4th April 2011):

We are now at ~7600 mark.​

We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.

I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.

I'm also looking to see if anyone is interested in helping me Moderate the page. Please PM if you are.

Original Post:

Hi All,

I have created a Groubal (online petition) to get a response from Motorola on it's bootloader policy.

>>This petition started for the Atrix, but I made sure that it was for Motorola's overall Bootloader Policy. I have reached 200 signatures in 2 weeks, but now believe it's time to expand this out of the Atrix space and into the larger Motorola Dev community.
[Atrix 4G General] DarrellRaines:
You guys and your silly petitions. They wont and don't ha e to do anything.
[Atrix 4G General] ikenley:
What can I say, I'm idealistic.
[Atrix 4G General] tical2k:
IMO waste of time.

Moto thinks they're God. Also, odds are your gorilla glass will be cracked before this bootloader.

On the other hand, class-action lawsuit is more appealing. Somehow get a lawyer to argue the users right to UTILIZE the hardware, as moto isn't. Lawsuits are the only thing corporations understand.

I did sign it, but I got no hopes...
[Atrix 4G General] ikenley:
While litigation may be the way in the U.S. it is not the way in the land down under. We have Government appointed watchdogs that provide avenues for complaints and comments. If a complaint is sufficiently raised to an Ombudsman the company the complaint is about is charged a fee for every day the complaint is not resolved.

Unfortunately the Atrix is not commercially available in Australia and thus I cannot pursue this in a typical Australian way.

If suing the pants of Motorola is likely to work, then I encourage any U.S. Citizens to do so (but only after carefully considering the cause and affect).

I am simply encouraging everyone to focus their complaints rather than spreading it across so many channels and losing it's potency.

Also: in all honesty, it's not really wasting that much time, since I would normally be wasting this time flashing experimental Roms, which I can't do due to obvious readons. :p
[Atrix 4G General] Athailias:

[Atrix 4G General] captaincanada84:

[Atrix 4G General] CC Lemon:
I'll sign but this has a much lower chance of succeeding than the AT&T service petition, and I'm not convinced we'll see many results from that one.
[Atrix 4G General] ikenley:
But there's no harm in trying is there?

I think that when compared with the DroidX and Droid2, this phone will be available around the world. Verizon is one of the only carriers that still uses CDMA and thus smaller consumer base for the Droid series Motorola phones.

Once the Global Atrix's are released we should see a lot more attention as well as the European Unions attitude towards anti-competitive behaviour might force an inquiry.

Once again, I'm a tad idealistic and am very keen for your support as well as your constructive feedback.
