open source? not sure what you meant. Android is indeed open source but there are some apps like gmail, google maps, android market - all google apps which are closed source. This is the reason why cyanogenmod ROM does not ship with these apps. It's illegal to do so because you need a license to include these google apps in a device.

I beg to differ. The fact that a developer can publish his/her app into android market and appears within minutes without screening gives a concern to us all. The app has not been checked whether it is safe or not.

Fortunately, google has been actively zapping these maliciously app. Don't how how they differentiate it. Maybe when user reports it? By then it'll be too late for these victims&reporters.

News: There's an upcoming amazon app store which requires review before an app can be published.

Wait, I didn't get the joke. what's other than antivirus for AV?

no way of knowing until google zaps them from your phone. or install AV app

OK.

Can delete the backup folder and logs. But leave others.

If not using voodoo lagfix (not enabled) can delete folder.

yes, it is safe. But there's no harm leaving them.

Congratulations!

For gingerbread keyboard, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845162 Haptic feedback works. Using the wp7 theme one.

using it with keyboard manager because I want swype in potrait mode and GB keyboard in landscape mode. Needs root access. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830177

Need to go sleep. signing off.

No need. When you flash darkyy, it will automatically give you jpy modem

Dutch version of jpy. They also got the first 2.2.1 before the rest of the world. Lucky.

I like galaxy s because I believe its bootloader is unlocked. It is extremely easy to root and load custom ROM unlike htc phone - I tried with htc tattoo, it was complicated. My friend didn't succeed in rooting his htc magic, too many steps. motorola locks its bootloader, SE hacking is slow, don't know about lg. So what's left? Samsung only?

Have you tried any of the ffmpeg based music player? can they read id3v2 tags?

I have no idea if it is ffmpeg based, most probably it is. But it does states that it supports flac. have you tried tagging the files in native flac tags? see if this time sgs recognizes them.

addon: from the thread, ryconn says poweramp reads the tags. it didn't work on your phone?

Unfortunately, I am away from my computer. so cannot get my flac files. will try tomorrow.

looks like samsung lied about flac support. together with the reported 480p instead of 720p video recording! bad bad samsung

Why would Iron Man interested in a toy like iphone???

I think iron man has an agreement with lg ally


They may be excellent in hardware development. But on software front, not so much. I wish samsung would take supercurio to work with them.

Cheers!

Each memory card has its own minimum speed, called class. higher class = faster
I don't think the size factors in the speed.

try reading some reviews on different memory card brands.

Good to know. Source?

Also, gps lock indoor means nothing. Try it outdoors, go jogging or drive with a car. Open up mytracks or something similar and see how accurate and consistent it is.

Not sure if anyone has answered this but anyway, download all modems at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...postcount=14434 Then flash and test them one by one.

Download fasterfix too. link given in the thread.


To root, there are many methods. Easiest is by downloading RyanZa's OCLF apk. Link, see below.

Unroot is possible and your data won't be gone:
1. Install Terminal emulator found in market. Open it and type:


Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...ht=click+lagfix The apk is attached in the first post. Download it, copy the apk to sdcard, open file manager (like MyFiles) and click the apk file. It will prompt you to install. After installing, open the app. The rest should be easy enough.

We used to love it before optimized kernels came. It wasn't a true lagfix and it really need multiple clicks But it is very easy to use.


animated gif not supported yet.

I am anticipating cyanogenmod7. Anyone has tried it yet?

those in ur sdcard won't be touched. Titanium backup only backup apps + "their" data, not ur songs, photos those.

i see....so only those in my phone memory..those apps that i move to sd card will be backup?

[/quote]
titanium backup will put the backup files into internal sdcard (/sdcard/ folder. Meaning, even after a complete wipe and reflash, those apps and their data will still be in your phone for you to restore.

No need to copy anything. After a format, just re-install TB from market, open it and restore. Needs to be rooted first.

addon: ken is right. not internal sdcard format.
