yeah...and posting in the wrong forum is not going to make you any friends either.

1) This belongs in "Questions & Answers" -- not in Development. The mods will, very soon I'm sure, be moving the post.
2) T-Mobile has no power over the shape Android takes. HTC and Google do -- T-Mobile does not. Google, despite the C&D to Cyanogen, have publicly stated that they support ROM development. The current Cyanogen version is in fact in compliance of all distribution rights.
3) There are a few "Read Me" or "Etiquette" type posts you'll find at the top of the forums. Browse them -- it'll be rewarding and will help you "fit in" better here at XDA-Developers.com. Every 'group' develops customs. Those posts are primers on our customs; and remember: When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
4) Enjoy!

how do i get the best software for my g1

hey i was wondering how do i get like a really legit software on my g1 its brand new it has not been rooted or anything
you could try opening your eyes and looking around....
1. i do not think you know what the word legitimate means
2. This is in the wrong section.
3. The sentence made no sense.
just buy a nexus it is what I am going to do since all the devs are getting them and then are forgetting about us....KING, CYANOGEN lmao
When you say legit software, do you mean apps? That's the only thing I can think of as of now, but if that is what you're saying, you could always use the Market... if you don't have a data plan you can use your WiFi or http://www.cyrket.com/m/android/ for most of your Android app needs. Now, if you would bother to post in the Q&A section, you wouldn't be getting a smart ass comment... but that's just my two cents.

New ROOT thread: Still a WIP

The last thread turned into junk. I'm not a dev and am totally new to this site and Android. I come from the iPhone community and I hate to see such a good thread go to waste. The other one turned into a disaster. Moderators if I'm out of line delete this thread. Thanks again AcidBath for all the updates and thank you to all the devs working on this problem.

What is wrong with THIS thread???
This needs to be closed.
You had the right idea in mind OP, however it's better to clean up an already developed thread than to start a new one that covers the same topic. Multiple threads/posts about the same exact thing are the bane of forum moderators everywhere =p.

You'll have to wait a few days or longer for all the recent drama to settle. The whole think to me looks like a publicity stunt for someone's new forum. Regardless of the fake claim made by some asshat yesterday, there has been a lot of BS from the get-go.
Let me sum it up for you:
"Jake" makes claims of booting an overclocked rom on the Incredible (leading everyone to believe he had root - is there any other way to boot a modified kernel without root??)
Jake posts non-working links to his kernels and asks for donations because he doesn't even have a dinc in the first place.
Someone buys Jake a phone (supposedly)
A FAKE Jake posts a fake picture on more than one forum, claiming to have success.
Real Jake apparently knows this but waits entire day to state it wasn't him?
Real Jake also apparently has a conversation with trusted person "Adicbath" BEFORE stating it wasn't him and leads him to believe he does have root. (this is the real confusing part I would like more answers on. If true, the real Jake is the asshat. If false, Acidbath may have a serious drinking problem)
/begin interweb drama

just to clear this up:
I asked Moderators to close my threads on XDA and Here as well.
I don't drink, so no drinking problem...Lmao.
The exact timeline from my involvement is:
Opened thread.
Monitored Devs exploits and methods and would report back their results.
Got superboot from Paul Obrien Modaco page and passed it onto to Devs that hadn't already seen it.
Saw jake day claimed overclock etc.
Reached out to his friend bootbscoob via forums and eventually speaking via GTalk, to try and get direct news and methods to post here and XDA for everyone.
bootbscoob put me in contact with REAL Jake Day.
Saw picture online showing root.
Contacted Jake Day via GTalk, asked him if root is achieved and is that his picture and can he please share method/instructions.
He told me YES he had root and that he would release instructions on his blog that night, also when asked about inconsistencies in the picture he said he would address that with instructions/root blog post.
I believed him and also saw that websites androidcentral.com and androidguys.com and phonescoop.com reported root was achieved, so I updated post here and XDA.
Then propped my BBQ with wife and family.
Came back to GTalk messages from bootbscoob saying it was fake, and forums raving and going crazy.
I sent GTalk message to Jake Day asking WTF? If this is fake why didnt u say something and is this really jake day, and the only reply i got was he would clear it up with his friends at alldroid.com and he was the real jake day, then silence.
I then decided that this became a crazy lying dabocal and asked mods to close the threads.
Also to be clear, I am a WinMo chef, average Android Chef, and not a developer. I am learning more all the time but at no point have I rooted a phone myself, I have only tried to help and learn from experienced developers, the same way I learned how to chef my own WinMo roms.
My goal was to have a thread so that the average incredible user could easily find the status on root and ask questions and possibly speak to Developers if they came by, that is it.
I want no credit or glory, I only wanted to help and be involved because I enjoy Android and cell phone hacking.
Good luck all, and I wish everyone the very best in all their real lives
As previously mentioned. It's easier to keep the discussions in one place. After the root is complete, I'm sure a new thread will appear, but until then...
Closed,
Dave

How do I downgrade to 2.1?

I have the cognition beta5 installed right now and I would like to go back to 2.1 becouse my market downloads are slow very slow and my battery drains too. Is there a super noob way to down grade and if u could please tell me exactly step by step thx
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You got cognition on your phone, so you must have visited the developer forum...
Have you even tried to find the answer on your own? I know you are asking for help, but didn't you look up "how to restore to stock" before you started? What if there is no way - like on some other phones? Why would you do a major mod, without looking up how to go back before you even started?
Try the first post in the developer section - the stickied one - the captivate bible.
Look for odin one click to down grade. I believe there is a thread dedicated to it. I've noticed some off things in the market but nothing worth downgrading for.

You can't be banned from a site like this, if so you just open up another user name and email....come on guys you must be new, but just for you i will delete it, i just hate when a new person gets on here and is treated like dirt. The guy asked a simple question...just answer "yes or no" thats it no need for the "extra advise" especially if you can't be nice about it. Besides how do you know the guy never bothered to search...thats an assumption on your part and when you assume you just...well you know. Don't assume just answer the question without being a jerk about it. A smart comment can be hidden behind what was suppose to be "friendly advise" and it's plain to see that this alpha dog was being smart assuming that the guy had not done his homework before making changes to his phone. At the end of the day...this release was not a good release, as we can see a lot of members on this site are having problems with their phones now. This is phone hacking using an leaked aka stolen version of froyo 2.2 that was patched together. We all took a chance and downloaded it at our own risk and now some members are paying for it because that's what happens when you accept stolen merchandise sometimes there are consequenses. Once you download this version of froyo the android market does not recognize the new version of the firmware and so a lot of apps are no longer available for you on the market unless you uninstall it put your phone back to eclair 2.1 and then try to access the market to find you missing apps. Now there is an Official version of froyo that is going to be released and anyone who downloaded the leaked aka stolen version will not and i repeat will not get the ota update from att this has been stated because the att server no longer recognizes your phones firmware version. Once again you will have to use your USB cable and pray that the "iffy" samsung keis application will see your phones stolen firmware and allow you to update to the leagle version of froyo 2.2 that should be a lot more stable then the the leaked...aka stolen version that everyone fell for.
These things are always "install at your own risk". If you screw it up, be prepared to figure out how to fix it. What Alphadog was trying to get at, is that if you just search, heck you don't even need to do that as all the answers are on the first page of the Dev subforum, you can figure out how to do it. He's also right in saying people need to do their homework before they mod their phone. You NEED a plan. You need to know how to be able to start anew should something get borked or you need to return it or something else.
It is irritating lately that these forums have been getting filled with really nooby questions like how to assign a picture to a contact. If everyone would spend some time using the phone or using google or searching the forums, the answer would be blatantly obvious. I think for the most part we're all just fed up with these questions, but instead of "being smart assed" about it and flaming, we just need to ignore the thread and let someone else deal with it.

That is true...or people who tend to be arogant in their thinking and looking down on folks who are not able to figure it out should use another forum. Thats all im trying to say. Heck what is the forum here for if not to help people. Check this out...I work in the mortgage forclosure industry..thats what i do im the guy that will put your home on the auction block if you can't pay for it for any reason. Poeple call me all the time all day long because they didn't read through their loan note before settlement or they were not informed during the settlement process as to what would happen if they didn't pay their mortgage. I don't get rude with them, i try to assist them because i have knowlege that could help them, imformation that they don't have. I don't want to see them get put out so i try to assist them by pointing them in the right direction over and over again no matter how often they call asking the same question.
My point? This is unchartered territory for some people, some of them don't even know how to use a forum...i wasn't born knowing how to write blog or use a forum. I had to ask questions sometimes over and over again. I had to research as well. But come on man these are 200.00 phones and for some folks thats a lot of money. If they mess up their phone ATT won't help them at all. Not to mention, unless you can get that samsung kies working on your computer your "might" be stuck with the stolen version of froyo 2.2 which as you can see is very very glitchy for some people.
Yes the sight says to mod at your own risk...but how can you dangle candy in someone face like that and expect them not to take the risk. Besides can you imagine what this country would be like if we had informed shoppers who did their homework before the shopped...this economy would be worse off then what it is, because people would think before they shopped or played around with their 200.00 smart phone taking a risk on damaging it for good.

If you want to spoon feed the entire world, that is your choice.
But defending people for their lack of judgment and research makes you look equally ignorant.
The point, at the beginning of this thread, is that if people just bothered TO TRY, they would find answers. Or just read the first post of a mod thread. I would think the words "this could brick your phone" would mean something. But no, most people are so used to bailouts and handouts that they don't stop to learn. I pointed the OP in the right direction - the information is there if he/she looked.
Oh, and if we had informed shoppers - we wouldn't have the mortgage mess we have now. People blame the banks, but it is idiot consumers that buy more then they can afford, get zero down loans, balloon loans, and hope their house goes up in value so they can refinance later.
The idea that more informed shoppers would make the economy worse is comical.

[QUESTION]Ice Cream Sandwich on Galaxy Tab?

I know it has been announced only a few hours ago and the source is not available yet. But, when Google finally releases the source code, will there ever be a ROM for the original Galaxy Tab?
I am curious because the answer to this question will help me resist the new tablet temptation
Having a hard time with HC, I doubt it with ICS....even the GB ROMs are not very polished, like Overcome causes warming up problem....
It can be short...
Maybe it will arrive sooner as we think, not with cyanogenmod, even if i want it on my tab, but with MIUI, I just read on the MIUIteam fr that MIUI have the source since they have the status of developpers with the XIAOMI, and they are already work on the Mi-one and the two nexus, so maybe the us team who develop the MIUI Rom for our tab will be able to port ISC on the galaxy tab?
I just hope that we can have ISC on our tab before Christmans it will be great!
ICS
From the news:
"Gabe Cohen from Google claims that most Gingerbread devices may have an upgrade to Android 4.0, claiming that it is theoretically compatible with any Android 2.3.x device"
I would presume (going off the little snippits of info I've gleaned) that almost ANY device will be able to run ICS in some capacity or another since it is designed to be all encompassing. (Think Ubuntu for comparison) Admittedly some older devices will struggle due to the specs but this is the same for every old device.
I could be completely WAY-OFF the mark but I believe el-goog is heading down the Canonical Road and pretty soon we will have OS's that just play well together, be it on mobile, laptop, PC, TV yadda yadda yadda......and then we'll see a small moon appear on the horizon
No wait, "That's not a moon.....It's a SPACE STATION!" cue dramatic music and suddenly everyone and their dog will be screaming "IT'S A TRAAAAAP!" "TURN THIS SHIP AROUND!" but by then we'll all be caught in the tractor beam and headed for a Schwartz-off with Dark Helmet......
Jus sayin
Developers get new devices and forget about old ones. Time's working against us...

Do you think people will port it or wait for source code.

How does a question not belong in general? Is the general sub forum not for General discussion. Don't mean to be rude just wondering how that does not encompass a question (heck a development thread could in theory fall under the general category), i understand that there is a specific category for q&a and trying to order the chaos; it just seems to me you can't really claim anything doesn't belong in general in order to delete and or warn a user.

Andy: Thank you for being awesome - lots of admins I've worked with throughout the years would probably throw a hissy over perceived insurrection when questions of protocol are asked. Your professionalism is greatly appreciated.
I am so glad that google appears to have gone with an open model this time around - it looks like they actually worked to maximize compatibility with the wide range of GB running devices and made everything pretty portable. of course we'll know more about that in a week or so when google drops the sources on us.
from what i understand, this will be the first time we've had proper public sources since the GB release.
the new feature set looks like it'll be pretty amazing so long as they optimized it well... I don't really care if newer fancier phones and tabs have more resources... more resources should allow you to do more things better, NOT an excuse to settle for sub-par optimization of code because "oh, it doesn't matter anymore, all new devices have enough ram and cpu speed to handle it!"... </rant>

I agree!!! More so if ICS is the hybrid between honeycomb (tabs only) and gingerbread (smartphones only), it should work on Original Galaxy(OG) tab, at least for those upgraded to gingerbread. Now we have OG 7" on 2.3, sg-tab 7 plus on 3.2 and possibly sg-tab 7.7 on ??4.0(I guess), sammy better get ICS on all otherwise it'll be hard selling all three.

I thing the original sgt7 is no longer part of the lineup i belive it has been discontinued. So the 7 plus is 3.2, as is the 10.1, and the 7.7. Samsung has settled on honeycomb for the lot but have already stated that each of these tablets will get upgraded to ics "real soon". On the flipside they all but confirmed that ics wont be coming to the original sgt7 making me very sad.
Samsung imho has really bad support for os updates in that they taje forever to release them and they are notorious for droping hardware / os support way too fast. My original sgt7 came out only about a year ago (last nov iirc).

yes, that's true, there is lots of private third-party ICS development going on to get a good AOSP rom up and functional. I think that's going to be most dependent on the galaxy tab ics dev thread here and then the cyanogen guys will go ahead and hack it smooth with extra features and the like as they generally do. I was specifically tallking about samsung OEM rom support.
and FIY, there is already a worked over SDK port of honeycomb for the galaxy tab 7 that seems to run pretty smooth that you might want to check out here if you're interested. the ICS stuff looks like it's shaping up, but I expect it to be at least a few months before everything becomes smooth enough for use as a daily rom.

Question

Hello, considering it is now almost mid-2017 anyone that's rooted what do you consider to be the most stable feature filled ROMs available for this device (SM-N910T3)and is a different kernel needed? thank you!
OK well I will take the utter silence I'm getting for my a response to my question to mean :
A) Everyone in the Q&A section is UNrooted and on Stock TW.......(eww)
OR
B)Most people who own this older device don't really check the development forums for it much anymore....
OR
C)Most people who have just bought this device (like myself) or have owned it forever are jumping back and forth betwixt and between a bunch of ROMS with each one offering its own set of errors/problems/unhappiness and are also seeking the answer that I seek.
I KNOW its not because you're just too lazy to type the name of your current ROM/Kernel, I just know its not...
