1) there is no official release dates for GB
2) downloading apps from 4shared is illegal, android is susceptable to malware, recently there was a big virus scare at applanet, another pirate apps site, so not only are you breaking the law, putting your personal information and device at risk, but also the future of android, why would a dev continue to waste there money and time developing apps for android, when people like you are stealing from them? they will just move to ios or windows phone .....

If your asking about installing illegally obtained apps to your device and what affect that may have, you've got to accept that people may think your about to do something illegal

That's just BS in my ears, if you're not gonna download anything illegal why ask about what might happen to your device if you did and how will you ever end up in a situation where you got a problem out of downloading illegal .apk's if you're not planning to?
How I see it, is that you just hoped it would be safe to download illegal .apk's why else ask?
If that's not the case you've learned absolutely nothing of use since you'll never be in a situation where you've downloaded any illegal stuf and hence useless info...
And no you're not a thief untill you've actually do the download, but you come off as one who thinks about it or is tempted to do it...

Till now no one answered me about my question only judging and insulting me, is that how you work in this forum, judging people while everyone of you have something he made that worth to be judged about, thanks anyway, sorry for asking anything, thanks for this bad treatment. thanks a lot.

Read the posts again then, your questions where answered a few times and yes you'll get judged when you come off as a person who would download illegal .apk's instead of paying for them.
And please stop acting like a victim it just doesn't suite anybody...
Will say this you might think about how or what you ask in the future to avoid miscommunication/understandings...
Ohh and by the way didn't want to insult you at all, just saw your post as BS and had to call you on that...
To answer your 2. question there will always be a risk downloading ripped software from som file host/sharing page as there is with any other OS... So if you choose to download it will be at your own risk and you might get hit by karma on the way...

Great stuff, had a blast reading these I totally agree with Androhero, ghostofcain and Dousan. There is absolutely no point in asking such stuff if you haven't planned to do so in the future. Preparing yourself for a situation that would never happen, according to da_omens writing, is a total waste of time yours, theirs, mine, everyones. And playing the part of a huge victim here...don't hate the player, you know how it goes Oh and seems to me that you got the most appropriate answers to your questions that one could expect on those matters. Just in case you are just trolling, good luck with that!

Ultimate Droid Froyo Extreme can it be PORTED??

I seen this rom on android central some guy and didnt notice it was in the DINC. forum. So i took a look at it just wondering if it was possible to port this over to the Droid Inc. Looks to be a pretty kick a** rom. If some devs could take a look and let me know if this seems like a good idea and if it is possible. Thank you...

I'm sure I"m going to sound like an ass with this statement, but I don't think you will find much BD support here as he is a tool. Good day.
Yeah that is what i hear, you dont sound like an ass i agree with you on BD, just thought it was worth a shot to make something better cause there is definantly a good team of DEVS for the DInc. but thank you for the feed back.
Yeah koush is working on porting cyanog.. I mean blackdroids rom.
Just be careful if you decide to port it yourself, Blackdroid is known for distributing warez in his roms, which is why he has been banned from at least one forum I can think of.
Ok well i least i got some answers that's all i really wanted. Thanks guys....

I understand what you are saying, many people run illegal software or pirate media files, however (and I will not argue the ethics of these actions, as they are a matter of personal choice and carry with them potential legal consequences that must be accepted) choosing to put yourself at risk is entirely different than imposing that choice on a forum. By posting material that includes warez, you force the hands of the moderators because if they fail to take action the forum could be liable as well.
Anyway, he had a few roms that included paid apps that he used without permission. I don't know if that is still the case, because I do not use his roms.

i think it was over swype or setcpu. stupid ****.
Please dont take this as me defending the guy but isn't the real reason everyone is over this guy because he was relabeling Petes roms as his own? I mean come on, I have been loading roms from this forum for years and there has been plenty of distributed wares over the years with no backlash like this. That being said, ripping Pete off and being a SOB is reason enough so lets just call it what it is.

Yes. Booted from Alldroid for re-branding Petes ROMS as his own and from droidforums for re-branding CyanogenMod as his own. Not sure who he is kanging these days but I won't touch his ROMS.

[Q] 8/1 Froyo Update?

Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread. I didn't see one dedicated to it and it's a hard thing to search.
So the update is available again today, Sunday 8/1. Does anyone know if it's still the 3.26.651.3 release? I installed one of the rooted ROMs and just wanted to know if I need to worry about updating again (to a newer rooted ROM) due to a newer official version.
Thanks!
So, official OTA is live? This is new.

Also, running one of the current ROMs means that you should plan to update. All of them have some kinks. They're very fresh.

No updates available for my phone using the settings..system updates (tho I am on the leaked 2.2)
I think he's referring to sprints post about froyo being available the week of 8/1.
Htc said the current froyo wasn't final so yes you will need to update again.

Wait. So you installed the unrooted update, then got a notification that an update is ready on the same phone? Should be safe, just make sure the version numbers are different.

No, sorry for the confusion. I have two phones; my rooted Evo and my wife's unrooted Evo. I installed the rooted ROM on my phone. I was curious on Sunday to see if the "official" update was available for manual updaters, as some sources had suggested, so I did a manual HTC software update on my wife's stock 2.1 unrooted phone. I was offered an update for the new 3.whatever/1.47whatever update (I don't have it in front of me)
I'd be happy to upload it, but I'm not sure where's it's stored. It didn't seem to be in the SD card's root, or under downloads. does anyone know where it would be?
HTC's twitter had something to say about an hour ago:
http://twitter.com/HTC
Why "trolling?"
I'd really like to know why someone tagged this with "trolling." What did I do that you'd call me a troll? All I did was ask a simple question about the update I got on my phone on Sunday.
I have to say, while not the most unfriendly place I've ever visited, it's pretty ****ing close. You guys are constantly at each other's throats and constantly insulting each other. I've never seen the word "troll" used as much as I have here. I've never seen so much ridicule and flaming over nothing.
Some people are actually pissed off (and actually insulting people!) because some other users dared say they weren't impressed with Froyo. Are you ****ing serious? Really? That bothers you? Holy ****; you really need to get a life. Others were actually put off by the idea of starting an "off-topic" thread in the Evo group! Talk about not having enough to worry about! I've seen a poster called a fanboy and a troll because he simply mentioned CM6. It seems like everyone who dares make a positive statement about a ROM is automatically a fanboy troll.
It seems like anytime a person other than a developer starts a thread, someone has to say something insulting about the user or impinge their motive behind starting it. I fully expected someone to make a negative comment concerning me starting this thread -- I just didn't realize you'd be such a ***** that you'd have to hide behind tagging it.
The developers seem like decent people, but a lot of you hangers-on are just a bunch of immature, self-important, assholes who seem to feel a need to insult others and their choices in order to feel better about yourself and the choices you've made.
I'm sure this will be considered trolling, but since everything anyone does is labeled as such, it's sort of lost its meaning
We used to have a rule that the first person to bring up Hitler, Nazis, or the 3rd Reich in an argument automatically lost -- it's a mark of a weak intellect and a dearth of ideas. I think the same needs to be said about you idiots who trot out "troll" on every thread. I've been here a month and it's already gotten old.
New people are not going to stick around if you treat them like this.

that pretty much nails this forum
if you check for updates again can you right down, and post here he name of the update they list?
i do not recall if it gives a file name or revision number.
otherwise you might have to do it on your phone and then use root explorer or something to find the file.
i do not know if it is downloaded as "update.zip" or not.
you can also offer to upload it to one of the many hosting sites that are used here and one of the dev's cna look at it to see if its different than the one from last week.
Unrooted Stock 2.1 EVO here, there are no new updates available.
Allow me to end this discussion with an official source.
Sprint: "Sprint is the first wireless carrier to bring Android 2.2 to customers using the award-winning HTC EVO™ 4G beginning Tuesday, Aug. 3"
Tomorrow is the day that you are looking for.

OK asswipe. Here is a picture of my wife's evo asking to do an update with your post in the background to show it's today. Notice the picture timestamp and phone time are the same (today at 9:15pm Pacific) and that my post was about eight minutes later. I don't seem to be able to post a pic or a link, so I put it up at ouiswing.com/photo4asswipe.jpg.
I'm not spreading rumors. I don't know what this update is and I'm trying to find out. Stop being a ****. Not everyone is playing games like you.
What is wrong with you people? And you made your point just by being the most annoying ass in the thread -- the font was overkill. But then moderation isn't something you would appear to understand -- it's just "I disagree! BASH!" with you.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I thought this was a place for learning, but I don't understand how anyone can learn something when they obviously feel they know everything already.
All I want to know is: how do I find out if this is the same version as the one that came out Thursday or Friday, which I believe was 3.26.651.3? I tried to find it on the SD card, but I can't.

[Q] Any proper Dev's here? Fancy a small challenge ?

You should at least describe what kind of app is that
If I were to say openly then it would give someone else the opportunity to make the same app and the Dev (if there is one) who would agree to make it wcould lose out even if only on the credit for making it.
Im guessing in order to get help you can't automatically presume that most developers are d*cks who steal ideas from other people.
Now you are putting words into my mouth. Not really helpful that. Though the vast majority are not there is always a small number who plagiarise as is seen in the market. Now may I thank you for your comments as I await an answer.
I'm guessing you wont pay them either? I think developers might be reluctant if they feel that after hearing it, they might get in trouble for deciding they wont go ahead (I've been in that situation before)
As a developer... what? I have no idea what you're on about.
If you want a developer you need to:
1. Make available information about what you want developed.
2. Pay someone (a reasonable sum), or have a genuinely interesting project. The later being substantially less likely than the former.
Yeah...even if I pm'd you for information, and then decided I can't proceed on developing it... isn't it the same? I would have heard your idea anyway, so you're better off saying it directly. ;-)
Or... you could apply for a patent on it if you fear there are lots of thieves here lmao

OK thanks for all the replies I will put my idea to a Dev forum that welcomes them.
Guys, please try and keep this on-topic without resorting to flaming the moment I close this tab.
@OP, XDA is all about sharing and working together to achieve common goals. As a result, developers here tend to work best when others can get involved. This kind of post pops up now and then, but these ideas usually end up unfulfilled due to the lack of information available.
And remember this is people's hobby, not necessarily their job, so most people aren't about to commit to making an app when they have no idea what it is. If it's not interesting to them, they likely won't want to do it.
awww sulky wulky. Hey any devs wanna build an app for me? I'm selling it but won't pay for it, and have no way of supporting it further down the line? No? Didn't think so. Flan.

How would you know if the developer that you share the idea will not simply use it for his own profit?
This is xda-developers (a developer community) and I never heard about a case of stolen ideas here.
If you'd like to find some help implementing an idea, you should at least describe the developer profile, technologies,...
i.e. I'm looking for a developer to build a simple 2D game that connects to a website to load pictures using http protocol.... No previous experience required, All source code should be sent to me and I'll share the profits.... please PM me for details.
You can try rent-a-coder and, for a fee you have your idea implemented.
Your arrogance is not welcome here pal.
Good luck with your idea.
I make a post offering to give someone my idea for an app that if they can make they can do what they like with and I get flamed for it. I am not a Dev, I am very new to Android OS. I see a need and think someone may find it easy to meet that need so try to make it known so an individual may even if the want profit from it. And for this I get called arrogant and told I am not welcome.
And as for the trolling I will not comment.

good luck, you won't find any! you come here asking for someone willing to do some stuff for you you won't tell them about before they agree to do it? lol! why should ANYONE agree to that. i, for one, am not interested on this conditions. also, this here (xda & android) is about community development, open source and therefore open ideas where everyone can profit.
if you wan't to sell the app then hire some dev for 20$/h but then you are indeed @ the wrong place here. otherwise just tell everyone about your idea and IF it's interesting, some people might pick it up...
Go and ask an iPhone dev if you wanna behave like that...not because youd fit in being a wanker but because they're much more commercially minded. It's funny in your original post you kinda imply most people working in this section and putting out material are not 'proper devs'. This is xda and this is open...people suggest apps all the time and people make it for free and maybe include ads or small charge to cover there costs, see lag fix, noled and galaxy s sim unlocker on market. You can be like the idea makers from there and just go 'that covers my needs and it's cool' or you can merrily skip along to an iPhone dev who is all profit.

So let's make it clear: you are offering the dev the idea and if he realizes it, all profits would go to him? He will publish it and everything? So why don't tell it straight away, if it's interesting someone will do it. Even if 2 or 3 people do it, there will be 2 or 3 apps for the same purpose. So what? How many im clients or gps navigation software are on the market, and still coming out? Do you think only one of them is getting money and the others don't? Users also like to have choice...
However you should at least tell what kind of skills are required? 2/3d gaming? Databases? Web connection? Kernel hacking? I think even if you aren't a developer yourself it shouldn't be difficult answering these questions... at least you are selecting potential candidates... that would be the minimum requisite for posting such requests, how can I know if I could do it if I don't even know what skills are required? Not all developers have the same background you know...

You are not going to dev it by the sounds of it, so it is really not up to you to keep such a project closed, isn't that exactly what you are asking to happen anyway? ( have another dev make it for you. )
You are coming on a forum, asking if any dev is willing to work on a secret project... ?
If there is money involved, and thus a reason for secrecy, do mention it.

Can an application I have purchased and downloaded for my SGII work in other phone or device? or do I have to buy it again to install it on the other device?
Thanks all; Just wondering and learning
If the app was purchased on Android Market you should have no problem redownloading it onto any future phone you buy and enter the same google account at initial setup that you used to purchase the app.
Do not post in the development section.

Yes all of the apps I have which have the paid versions are from Android Market; it happens i got also Mytouch 4G and thinking in getting a galaxy tablet besides my SGII phone and wondered if i rooted these devices if i would have to paid for the same apps to run on all three different devices or just downloaded individually to each and fire them away as i use one or other device.

Not to be a jerk-face... but stop making excuses. If you break a law , do you avoid any sort of punishment just because you are new?
Ignorance isn't a good excuse. Just apologize and do the right thing and start a thread in the appropriate place.
It's ridiculous the amount of people just tossing things out without taking a moment to stop and see what the deal is. Being new doesn't give you the right to just do what you want. If you are new, you should be even more careful... no? That's how people brick their phone--they don't take the time to read things carefully and that's what gets them in trouble.

This happened a lot in the 4G forum. I stop being a "jerk-face" and just send the link of the thread to one of the mods and it is usually moved within that day. Helps prevent them from double posting in multiple threads.

I had spied that awhile ago. Finally tested it marvelc side; didn't work except for the desensing/resensing. That works from all indications.
I also found an apk on the market I've mentioned a few times that does root/unroot; It's called un-Rooting [and the subtitles are in a language I can't read; but it works marvelc side][anyone care to test it gsm side?]; busybox [installer] also available on market. I've found market apps to be easy advice.
As for gsm'ers only known tool [still] to work is the xtc clip; which is a small hardware device one can order for around $40; Simonsimon34 has the latest s-off guide for marvelc.
Alquez's cwm works on both cdma & gsm
Thought I'd drop mention of these tools again.
Rob
PS I found a really useful market app that was started here on xda.. ZDbox I got to find the thread and thank the developer, but it has battery percentage/status & power-saver, task killer, app uninstaller/management [inc Apps2sd], and System Cleaner [cache & history]. Can replace 4-5 apps with this one. Good good end-user tool.
Another misleading thread. l00k, please ask a mod to delete this.
It's already proven that it doesn't work on GSM phones.
The Wildfire S is already full of information on how to s-off CDMA phones.
There is no need to confuse more people.
I guess I can speak on behalf of all WFS GSM users. Please delete this. PLEASE!
Who created the Super Tool and who posted a thread about it on XDA should first confirm if the information is correct. It DOESN'T work on Wildfire S except CDMA versions.
In case you still didn't get it, this is NOT directed to you. It's a general complaint:
It's incredible that so many people post things just because somebody says it works.
Wouldn't it be smarter to confirm first and post after? I'm not talking about you, l00k.
I'm really tired of reading the same crap over and over again, including the people that almost want to force us to buy a XTC Clip. Some say it isn't rocket science because we can sell it after using... but maybe some people just don't have the time, patience or money to do that. It's easy to talk about ourselves. I guess some people should learn how to walk in other people's shoes.
A simple "Doesn't work on GSM" would of done the trick.
You don't get S-OFF for being a ****

Are you happy now that you've insulted someone that didn't disrespect you?
Congratulations for your smart post. Seriously! I love when people are rude and unpolite. It just shows their character.

One of the most supportive and helpful people around here...Behind myself of course. LOL jk
I think an apology would be in order.
Look guys... this dude read something and posted it to try and be helpful. Don't throw stones at him just explain.

question
Although this thread is a repeat and will get deleted because... well if you read it, its just not what xda is about. Even so, I will ask a gsm'r does this tool seem to perform only zerg-rush, desense and resense like on cdma side? Or does nothing work, differences? It does not work for root cdma side, unroot fails, and the methodology is different so I doubt it would s-off on our side. I will contact the developer to specify partial functionality with WFS but no s-off (upon gsm analysis confirmation). Discuss.

Nobody threw stones at him in the first place.
I explained why this thread should be removed and also took the opportunity to talk about other annoying habits. I think it's pretty clear I wasn't referring to l00k, so I really don't understand why he replied that way.
It seems that he accepted the general criticism as it was directed only to him.
Thanks to d33ps1x for his support. I try my best to help the community and suddendly I get called a ****...
How about an apology instead?
This kind of thread leads to nothing but legacy again...

I apologised in my initial post to GSM users but I wont apologise for my reaction to what was in no way a supportive and useful reply from Migualca. In fact its the most annoying thing anyone has ever said to me since joining these forums backl in 2006. Tact is a wonderful thing (jk)
Anyway this was posted to help and I genuinely do hope you guys get your software S-OFF. I've still got my blacklisted wildfire S and would be willing to rip its guts out testing tools like this to help.

Besides already having clicked "thanks" I felt the need to express my gratitude for your post.
You are also very supportive and helpful, the kind of user XDA needs.
There is one thing on earth that I don't tolerate to ANYBODY: lack of respect/education. That's why my motto is: don't disrespect others if you don't want to be disrespected.

Guys, sry but pls stop it.
As much as i can see both of you told things that could be spelled another way
Miguelca i know, your pissed (sry for the bad spelling, but i think it hits the point) on, because you thought there finally is a way for gsm users to s-off their device without xtc and you where disappointed once more, but because of this it shouldn't be delteted, it should be marked like others with cdma only. I know it's hard and i also know you done much for the community, but try to be happy for others that they got one more option, i'm sure there will come a way for gsm users finally.
And 100k, sry but your rudness wasn't correct and your really should apology for it, there are other ways to tell such things than such a bad language.
At this point Miguelca is right, you should bring more respect to others, if he tells something that you think it's not true or should be handled another way, express it in a normal way not like you did. It's much more constructive and others can accept it or/and discuss it with you, but like you did they get angry and things get badder not better, so pls be patient next time and tell what you want to tell as smooth as you can.

Don't worry tectas. This is definitely my last post about this bad soap-opera.
l00k doesn't care to reread my first post and doesn't want to admit that there is a part he must have overlooked or misunderstood. Some people want to be always on top, even when they have no arguments and need to use rude language. Just one simple conclusion: l00k wrote 212 posts since September 2006 and got 9 thanks. I'm here since June 2010, wrote 114 posts (before this one) and got 51 thanks.
I rest my case.

I think you are right about not deleting the posts like this and renaming them. If other posts hadn't been deleted (and I did search on the subject before posting) then I would have seen it was cdma only.
Sorry for calling you a **** miguelca it wasn't very nice and I should have elaborated a little more as to why your comment and comments like them annoy me so much. I don't spend much time in the wfs section anymore I saw the article in an rss feed from another android site and thought about you guys. I saw no other posts about the unlock tool so thought i'd share it. Seeing as this site is international and this section is not just about gsm phones it is a valid thread. Try not to jump on people so quickly.
FYI the thanks button hasn't been there since the dawn of time.

I already said that I wouldn't post again about this subject but now I have to.
l00k, thanks for publicly admitting that your comment wasn't very nice and for apologising. I appreciate your gesture.
You didn't explain why I annoyed you so much with my words and that's why I didn't understand the reaction from your side.
Thanks for your intention to help this community and sorry for jumping so quickly on you with a "hard" comment.
As you know a big part of my post wasn't directed to you, but I get the idea...
In the future I will try not to "jump on people" so quickly.
Oh and BTW I know the thanks button isn't available since the beginning.
This was just a way to show you that in general my comments are well accepted and also thanked for. No regrets. Peace.
