I have been giggling like a little school girl for the past 4 hours :lol:
For those of you that have playstation2, xbox, tivo, replaytv, basically any cool device with a hard drive.............................
sit down... take a deep breath.... and be prepared for..
Transparent IDE over IP.
I was just searching to see if this device existed or not. Not only does it EXIST but it is CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It works over the network with a compact flash card for caching. It can use HTTP to use a webserver for files or it can use any M$ based SMB share.
Web administrated, small, and made to replace a hard drive.
Now your XBOX can have an unlimited hard drive to store games, same with you playstation2 using HDAdvance.
Your DVR's now have true unlimited storage (as big of a networked raid you want to build).
For devices that do not natively share data like the replaytv, now they all share the same data. For instance multiple xbox's now see the same data on the hard drive and not limited to a single location. Your Xbox in Los Angeles sees the same data as your friend's Xbox in Las Vegas.
I can go on and on.
They are only 175$ and are called WEBasDISK. They should be available sometime by the end of January.
I am still giggling right now.
and how does this affect the XDA I or II ? I am confused ?
It does not have anything to do with the XDA I,II, or III.
That is why I posted in the "General" section
Actually then it should have been posted in off-topic
I'll try to move it there
Ooops
My intentions were good
Sorry about the wrong forum.
But does anyone have any comments?
I mean this is some seriously cool hardware or is it just me?
Like the post said.
I seem to be getting around alright. With some help from this forum, and the stickies, It's been a good transition. I'm coming over from a BlackJack, but had only used it for a couple of months. So far, I find WM6 to be fairly intuitive and easy to manage.
As a work tool, this is going to be sweet for me. I'm a teacher, and I travel from class to class. The coolest thing is that I can now load my grade book program on the Tilt and only sync to my laptop at weeks end. I've been lugging that monster for three years. I'm looking forward to leaving it at home.
For other "newbies", the search function works like other vB forums. I've had great luck.
From one newbie to another: Welcome
Just a word of caution, in rare cases if you happen to open the file on your PC and also on your PPC it may decide to "update" the file on your PPC and wipe out all your latest info. Didn't happen very often to me, but when it did You can either store it on your memory card and copy it over from there or...
Im a newbie and would like help flashing my Tilt. Anyone on this board live in the 909 or 951 area that can help me flash to Duttys ROM?
Love my new phone but would love to get rid of the stock ATT crap.
Flashing's really easy.
Install HardSPL
Run the EXE in the zip you downloaded for Dutty's ROM.
some inspiration for you

Im a really new newbie. Its all foreign to me
Any way someone can put it into plain english?
Much appreciated!

If you can make it to Long Beach I'll do it for you no charge.
I'm in loma linda, but I'm taking finals this week and on spring break next week so I won't be able to get to it until the end of next week.
It took me about two hours to figure out how to flash my tilt. You just gotta read and follow the instructions, if you know how to download music and upload pictures to your mp3 player, then this should be child's play for you.
And if you really can't figure it out, PM me, I live in Hemet, so I'm not far. I reflashed my 8125, so it can't be much different if device-specific instructions are followed.
DUDE in all seriousness, if YOU learn to flash your phone and YOU end up doing it, YOU won't be such a newb.
Don't be afraid to learn. I can understand being scared to mess your phone up, but trust me and all the others here when we all say..
If you read the info all the way through, you should have nothing to fear.

Extreme Noobs Read Now - I Did It!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A BLOND FEMALE EXTREME NOOB DID IT!
My friends said I couldn’t do it. Mostly my male friends. All my girl friends supported me, but the general consensus was being female and being blond, I would have a hard time. LOL Well, I started by reading, reading, reading and READING on here for the past few weeks and finally got my ATT&T tilt a yesterday. I read and studied so much on this forum, I was practically bursting at the seams to put into practice what I had been studying night and day for the last 3 weeks or so. I also want to say THANKS THANKS THANKS to this forum and all who participate especially the moderators and senior members who read and wade with suspicious eyes (will this be a redundant post, they think), but who also assuage with empathetic concern for the worn out and battered, but otherwise persevered noob. I DID IT! I DID IT!
Like all mentors, they try to instill in all noobs like me a virtual sense of responsibility and accomplishment by not giving up information so readily and thus fostering a sense of, ‘pull yourself up by your own bootstraps’ kind of reasoning as they have been there and done that and you have not. Depending on your situation, this can be either good news or bad news. For those like me with a fundamental understanding and an ounce of technical aptitude, it is certainly good news. For others, it’s an emotional roller coaster ride and I feel sorry for all who go through such hell. KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES AND LIMITATIONS! If you buy a phone you have no business owning because you think it’s cool looking only to find out that it’s really meant for the corporate power user variety and those who possess a higher than normal level of gadgetry prowess, what do you expect? Add to that , if you’re not technically savvy enough to operate it and install everything, what would be the point because eventually you would realize all you really have is an expensive phone and how you keep wishing you could get it to look like the ATT&T tilts you see on you tube.
I THINK I AM THE MOST EXTREME NOOB OUT THERE AND I AM FEMALE AND BLOND….TWO STEREOTYPES IN ONE!!

Dualboot Phiremod/Honeycomb SD on Ebay
Ok, I know this issue has been raised before. But this just isn't right. This person is profiting off the hard work of everyone here on the Nook Color Dev forums. I understand that some people are technically challenged and enjoy the fact that all they have to do is pop in the SDcard with the roms already loaded. But I've made that dualboot img so that any technically challenged person can do it. All you have to do is burn it to a card and you have a dualboot rom.
Not to mention all the devs that actually put work into making these roms how they are. And we do it all so everyone can benefit without being ripped off by said ebay poster.
**sigh**
Sorry for my rants, but even if the poster had even mentioned or give credit where credit is due, I wouldn't be as upset.
Oh and here is a youtube video where the person is explaining on how to use the dualboot menu by J4mm3r. You don't want to boot to "eemc". LOLOL
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sayrOZfF6gE
Just want to say thanks to the wonderful community here as well.
Thanks,
Racks
One half of me is happy to see that my Honeycomb SDK build was good enough to want to use. The other half of me is pissed off at stupid profiteers using it to make bouku bucks....
Sadly, i knew when i put it out there, i could not stop it from being used this way. And of course, it isn't just my effort being ripped off - it looks like they are using your work as well Racks.
Ah well... i just won't support the poor suckers who get said cards, and cannot figure out why they dont work.
Why dont you guys report the items on ebay. Since he deff does not have a license from google to SELL android os. Google lets you use android for free but have to have a license to sell it.
$50 Yikes! I could see spending maybe $10 or $20 to save the hassle, in fact I paid a local guy $20 off of Craigslist to do the CM7 install for me since I wasn't comfortable doing it myself. But $50?!?!? That's robbery.
You know, there's a whole wider point here about how forums, and the like, disseminate information.
I've had my Nook for all of a week. I'm on my second Android phone so am used to flashing ROM updates. BUT coming to this corner of XDA I hit a brick wall seriously hard.
The problem for this and many other fora is that no-one offically obsoletes and removes information. Some info is good and still current; some never worked and some has now become bad after Nook updates. As a noob I have no easy way of knowing which is which.
I've been following this forum daily but I've mainly been looking to Gingerbread and stock 1.2. I am astounded to discover there is a dual boot option on an SD card with Honeycomb. Where is it? Why didn't I see it? Where are the guides to doing it?
On to the eBay guy; you do get a tested 16Gb card for your money. Good luck to him! If he'd acknowledges software sources - all the eBay 'me toos' out there would have it too easy.

And it almost sounds like your condoning his actions? Be that as it may, yes when we put information out there on these forums, people are free to use them as they wish. Just wish people like said poster wouldn't benefit free from other peoples hard work that they put into it. Not to mention the community here that tested these roms and reported bugs and issues so that it would be tweaked to it's best ability to run on our Nooks.
How would anyone feel if they put hours and days or even months into a project so that they can help out a community only to have someone come by, take that project, package it up and make a profit off of it. It just aint right.
Again, I was just writing to vent. Don't take anything I write personal. I feel much better now!

I can totally understand where you are coming from; I have a paid app on the market and am sure some people download, get a refund but keep it on their system with Titanium Backup. I get mad too. But sometimes I pirate stuff and feel justified. Human beings are a funny mix - or at least I am.
Would you really want to run a business selling formatted SD cards on eBay or would you prefer doing what you do and contributing to the community? Clearly for you, 'contribution' is an important part of your self-realization. I imagine monetizing everything you touch is not how you wish to live your life or see yourself. There are others who take a different world-view; the eBay guy being one of them.
As for condoning his actions, I think I recognise the world needs enterpreneurs as well as altruists; but I agree I do feel differently when it's me being ripped off
Thanks for the link but in a way it make the case for the eBay guy. The post has been updated and the steps one needs to take from scratch to get an SD card dual booting have become less clear. The words "Phiremod 6.2 and Madcat's Honeycomb Hybrid-RC1" may mean something to those that have been here a while; sadly in this madly hyper-linked world it means little to me yet.
I'm minded of a software Engineering lecturer who once asked 'Why is it that when software is updated the file size always grows". Thread updates via edits on XDA-developers always get larger - is there a good reason why?

Well, firstly just want to say thanks for your understanding of my rants.
And yes you are correct in how the world works, people will be people.
Thread updates gets larger via edits so newcomers can see the progress of the work that has been done. And out there for anyone that wants to understand how it progressed from initial beta phase to current status of the app/software/rom being worked on.
Oh and regarding the software quote, well size of any particular software grows when you add additional modifications, tweaks and functions.
Take my horrible analogy for example:
"You can make scrambled eggs with just two eggs some oil and a pan. Wanna make make that scrambled egg even better? How bout an omelette, now we need previous ingredients, plus, cheese, mushrooms, etc...." you get my drift.

Racks, I'm sorry to hear the profiting from your and other devs work. I personally am not a developer, and would consider myself fairly novice at the inner workings of my NCs, however I have rooted both of mine and bought the second one just to learn, to try the different mods, to try all of the neat things that have been done to this point so that I can learn. Great reason to have threads out there that are older...
I had someone here at the office offer me $ to root their nook and put MN on it, I declined, modded it for them anyway, and now she's happy, I don't have any extra money, but for some reason I feel better about it. Imagine that, and I expressly made it clear that I didn't do anything other than follow directions and take no credit for what they now had.
So, thank you for all of your work, thanks to all of the other devs for their work as well, and to Hades with the guys that try to profit off of other people's hard work! LOL

I think the loser doing this gets away with it by claiming you are not buying Android but rather you are buying the memory card and his "service" - which is a BS way around the rules.
Theres always the guy that profits solely off the service.
Just because we "get it" doesnt mean the average end user does.
"Android will change the way we do things" been saying that since me G1.
Instead of the legal and moral issues (if exist) the seller doesn't mention anywhere what is the class of the sds. The photo from ebay is low quality so I couldn't spot it.
what about this scenario?
A coworker has played with my rooted (bootloader with CM7 on a 16g sd card - stock untouched) and is purchasing one soon. i've told her there might be some issue with rooting 'new' hardware - but I'm not exactly certain about that. she wants to pay me to set hers up the way mine is. she might give me money, or she might buy me a six-pack of fancy beer or who knows.
I've told her that it is all copied work from various folks on the boards - but she'll never know xda-developers much less the individuals who have made all this possible. (can I 'thank' you guys on your threads more than once - adding a thanks for her?)
If I accept any kind of remuneration, am I profiteering from your work?
What if I decide to upgrade to a 32 gig card, and she pays me the price of my 16gig card and I leave the setup on it?
just curious where the line is

There is no line crossed. Your not putting out an ad to get peoples nooks so you can root it for them.
Someone personally asked you to do this for them. And I see nothing wrong with it. Its the ones that mass produce software that isn't theirs for money. That's what irks me.
I say gofor it. Not to mention that you've told your co-worker about
XdA. Not every one is tech savvy. And I already said that I wouldn't be as upset if said poster would have given credit to all the devs that put work in for free so he can make money off burning not just one. But many sdcards to sell on eBay.
To each his own I guess.

You developers amaze me with your talents and the products resulting from them.
Shame on the sellers. As mentioned above, I expect that they say they are only charging for the cards and service. Boo! Hiss!
I'm having a tad of trouble with the Phiremod/HC dual boot with menu. Could someone please tell me the correct forum to get help with it? (NC 1.2, 8gb class 4 San disk card)

I can see your fustration Racks. If I dedicated so much of my own time to benefit my community then somebody comes in and profits off my hard work I would be pissed.
That being said for us users on xda we do appreciate the time you put in to make our devices that much more awesome. So I say thank you sir, and hopefully more people will come to the xda forums and do their work themselves or at least try.
And it is true that Android is "open sourced" for the most part. However, anything Google requires licensing. This includes Google apps and the Android market. These are closed sourced. Seeing how these sd cards have both Google apps and market preinstalled, I can see Google justified in taking action if they choose to. Even if the consumer is paying for the "device" (sd card) that devices is distributing Google's property. Food for thought.

Racks, thanks for the time you and the other devs put into the nook and cm7. I am fairly new to th android world but not to nix so the transition was not as rough for me as for some. I realize there wil always be folks out there who try to obtain other peoples work and profit from it and we, as a community, can only watch. What I propose, however rough around the edges it sounds, is that we, as a community, refer anyone who purchases these warz back to the source for assistance. I do realize that I sound harsh but the only way to prevent others from profiting from your work is to refuse to support the "pirated" software.
The whole AOSP thing has been a thorny issue from day one. As an old guy, I remember programming before monitors when keypunch cards were the norm but, even then, There were folks trying to profit from the hard work of others. Same thing applied then, if you have my work and did not get it from me then when you need support, go to the guy you got it from. Just sayin.....

No storage space. The screen will spaz out if there is any moisture in the air. The screen sucks in general. I snapped mine in half. Avoid this phone at all costs.
I am using mine with Tempered Glass and a nice cover and it works like a charm. And about storage, it really depends on how many applications you're using, or how big these apps are. Don't expect high-end performance from a mid-end phone. You get what you pay for.
Its garbage.
I have a 2013 moto g without external SD card and I can put a lot of apps on it. Desire 510 is just a piece of trash. Bottom line.
Idk about you. I have the EU model and I have after a fresh install somewhere around 4GB of space for apps For me it's more than I need using it only for social apps and calls.

Look dude....If you don't like it then why in the world did you bought it? This is a mid-range device, you can't expected to perform like the S7, M10 or G4. It simply wasn't build for it. If you didn't do some research before you bought it...the fault is yours. I knew that the screen wasn't good two weeks before I purchased mine but I also knew that adding a Tampered Glass protection will resolve the issue. The RAM and processor are good, even some very demanding games can run on it (with a few reasonable lags). As for the storage. You can always root it and delete all the bloatware from it. After that I ended up with 3.5 Gb user space. And if even that's not good enough for you...you can always buy a SD card. There are also ways to add the SD card as internal storage, make the apps install on the SD card, move app data to the SD card etc... My point is....always do research before you buy something that you need to rely on every day. If you don't like it, don't buy it, It's simple as that. Don't go on the Internet bashing how something doesn't measure up to your standards. As you can imagine all of us on this forum already know about the downsides of the Desire 510 and we either found a work around for the problem or we simply learned to live with it. I suggest you do the same.
Peace :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

But if you need help with anything specific, just ask, I'm sure that me or somebody else from these forums will help you out. And again, I'm really sorry if I offended you in some way.
Theres no way you got 3.5 gigs of user space on an HTC desire 510. Any more stories? And yeah I had the pos rooted and running apps2sd. I deleted all I could and replaced apps with smaller versions.

Two things:
1.) You made a typo. I'm assuming "toi" meant to be "it".
2.) Denny's posts are the only things useful about this thread. This thread is more garbage than the phone that you claim to be garbage. XDA is a place for innovation and expansion, not complaining. If you wanna complain like a stereotypical teenage girl, get an Instagram and blab on that. Nobody wants to hear your crap.
