Another one from BB to Android! - Off-topic

Hello!
I'm slightly new to Android, I own a Droid Incredible and may buy a Samsung Fascinate for development purposes. Started out with a Blackberry, did all I could to make it less weak.
Awesome site! Thought I'd say hello and read up abit.

Welcome to the forums. Hope you enjoy it here. Be sure to read and read and read. Sometimes it's better not to ask a question, before you have searched here. The threads get real crowded, really quickly.

Yeah, G2 should be the better of the two, the Torch is ungodly slow..

If tillapia or swordfish show up on the menu, I'm in!
Thanks for the welcome, guys!

welcome.
you might also check out www.ppcgeeks.com , they are more cdma oriented than xda is.

welcome!
I came from a blackberry too, and loved it.. but now I would never go back! my phone can do anything I want it to and more.
Anyways have fun messing around with your new android devices... it gets addicting

Good decision moving to Android. I would really think twice about the Fascinate though. That whole Bing thing pisses me off.

new member and tilt user

Hello everyone, I just got a tilt by AT&T and found this forum while searching for ways to improve/add missing features. I have not worked with this type of software before but hope to learn a lot (likely at the cost of some frustration). Any recommendations on how or what you have done to improve the phone? Thanks,

Just take out some time from your daily life and search Do not ask a question unless you're certain it hasn't been asked before. You'll be shun upon. I'm just saying take some time, search, and you'll be a pro soon enough.
thanks for the heads up. the search for improvement has begun, and will likely go on indefinitely.

I knew this site had underlying agenda...MALWARE COOKED INTO THE ROMS???
5 cents per ROM install
kinda like the people who release XP and Vista .ISO's with Malware preloaded so its untraceable
I knew a guy that was getting $1 an install and made close to $100,000

Psssh. This site is like drugs. Too addicting. But unlike drugs you can't not be addicted to it o.o
Here's a tip- MAKE SURE YOU'RE USING THE FORUMS FOR YOUR DEVICE AND NOT SOME OTHER FORUM.
you can tell i've made this mistake before.

Quick ? about android 2.0

I have been hearing a lot about 2.0 and was wondering if it was goin to come to the HTC Dream, or only to new phones with the droid platform. Really I was only interested in the new Maps with the navigation integrated into it.
wow fail for 3 reasons
1. WRONG SECTION
2. IF YOU PAYED ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT WAS GOING ON, YOU'D KNOW THE STATUS OF 2.0
3. READ!!! MAPS/NAVIGATION ALREADY WORKS ON DONUT
hehe that was fun
hahah i totally agree with the guy above me

Awesome! Just awesome
w0w the amount of noobs we get and have here is rediculous, I'm mean really this site needs some restructuring. New moderators/admins. I mean honestly this is getting out of hand, and automatic registration needs to be disabled and the people who are registering need to be reviewed, it would be hard to review the new members if there is a lot of registrations in one day. But this site should think about starting a sister site, like www(dot)android-developers(dot).com
Lol. Well, this made me laugh,
But don't gotta mutilate the poor boy now.
dang you pwned him lol
hehe amazing what a little red text can do
While I agree with the concept of search before you post... come on guys. Does it kill you to use a little tact? We were all noobs at one point or another.
Can't we all just get along?

Yea sorry I dont sit in my gamer chair with two cell phones taped to my junk so i can get the full effect of "vibrating calls".

all you had to do was go on the first page of the android development section and you would've found it in a jiffy (yeah i said jiffy). and the search button actually helps you find stuff. learn to use it or you'll get torn a new one every time you make a stupid useless thread like this one. good day.

wow wtf now im dreaming of ROMs and Chefs??

Very strange, and it was my first dream in a long time, let alone ever dreaming of a phone or software lol
so in my dream i had an in-person discussion with NilsP about his ROM about how i think he should add the 5 latest apps to the transparent dropdown. No biggie, 10min convo
Now im warped a few days later and im at like a BBQ party, and i meet someone and start showing him my phone and a few ROMs i had on backup
I pull down the transparent dropdown and see some chrome looking skulls, with red glowy eyes ... 5 of them across the top of the dropdown where the apps would be!!
So i say wtf is this? Maybe i never really broke in NilsP's ROM and its just now initializing or something??
Now the phone reboots itself and its some chromed skull theme, and the 5 recent apps are in the dropdown!!
In my dream i was kicking myself trying to figure out how the hell this ROM all of a sudden had it! Or did NilsP find a way to hack into my phone and add the feature i begged him for??
Last thing i remember is being puzzled and stumped, then i woke up
stupid as hell, but thats it lol
go ahead, flame away haha

Smooches babe! I've done a little bit to make things work better here. I'm sorry that I get pissed at ppl with negative comments that haven't. Want to hug it out?

can someone cross compiling arm 6 to arm7 processor files?

Sorry for sounding like a newbie and dumb question. But can anyone here work on doing this?
I wouldn't mind waiting for 6 month or something.
This can help us run adobe air & adobe flash player smoother and have google earth working for our device.
here a suggestion and tutorial how to cross compile in the link below.

These requests of developers are really unfair. We work hard and getting insane requests like I've seen you post is not very nice or appreciative to the community
This dude has done this before., something must be done about him
If you have a problem talk to my butt. Cause he is the only one that gives a crap!
wtf is it with this guy?
"Hey DEVs! Make me the awesome things I want! Nao!"
Oh, I take that back, apparently he "wouldn't mind waiting"...
Someone made the comment in another thread that I almost replied to but didn't.
The comment was along the lines of "devs are dropping like flies". The posts by OP are one reason why. You share your hard work with everyone, and all they do is cry and complain and beg for more.
This is one of the reasons why I only build ROMs for myself. I don't want to deal with people like OP.
So here is to all the developers present and past who share their work: Thank you.
Ha! OP killing me with these threads. *facepalm*
Hell, buddy, you got a tutorial there. Use it. Make it yourself and quit clogging up the boards with your ridiculous demands.

Most of us lurkers really appreciate what you guys do, and please don't let the stupidity of a vocal minority turn you off.

Leaving XDA

Hello GUIse,
I know this may seem a little sudden due to me releasing an update of my theme literally 2 minutes ago, but, the timing couldn't of been any worse. I've received some sort of bad news (to me) and I feel I don't have the strength to keep supporting/making themes anymore. Plus, I now have a new job which is taking most of my time up anything. So, due to these 2 statements above, I can no longer create themes as much as I would love to. This is probably the wrong section but I only posted into the SGSII section anyways. I would like to thank everybody for supporting me. Especially Pulser, who forgave me over the Infusion controveusy.
I'm sorry to B3311 & Pele as I cannot support the Black Android Theme anymore, and sorry to my donators.
I hope to see you in the future.
Take it easy,
NitrozK (My Last Post.)
you don't need to leave XDA, just come by every now and then when you feel like it.
you are not obligated to it.
as long as people have access to your previous work, they can continue from where you have left off.
i myself was off for like a whole month before i was able to continue modding due the similar issues from my real life

It's not only that it's just this theming business is stressing me out. Don't get me wrong, I know how to theme like the back of my hand, but due to this news and my new job I only have time for me if you get what I mean?
we will miss you m8
Good luck nitrozk. Hope everything will be fine eventually.
Really appreciate your work. But there are more important things in life, like life itself.
Take care!
We will miss you.
But you still can use XDA, even if you are not developing anymore.
Sorry to hear that buddy.. U are welcome here anytime

I don't know you nor have I had contact with you but as with any other fellow sgs2 and xda members I wish you all the best and can only hope you get the chance to return soon! All the best!
all the best man, thx alot
I hope you will find a way to absorb and overcome the bad news and possibly some good will come from it. Good luck and have fun with the new job!
Live long and prosper. <\\//

That's sad dude.One of the non-noob guys leaving XDA instead of the noobs is sad itself,but developers/themers leaving is too bad.Anyway,hope all's good and wish you the best.You can come back literally anytime.

Take care - you'll be sorely missed.
Didnt u want to leave before when u got caught stealing? I mean dude tell people in ur theme thread ur leaving...

Are you f**cking kidding me? All I do is my best in this forum but yet people slag me off for it. I'm telling people because if I did go without a trace I'd get shed loads of PM's about it. My life isn't going as planned as yours is (obviously). Please explain to me why I am an attention seeker? So, I'm like every other dev in this forum then? I don't think I am a celebrity, I do my work, people like it, end of. Nothing else to it. Sorry "Mr Perfect". I didn't want to give a reason as to why I have to leave but you gave me no choice. Someone close to me died yesterday 2 minutes after I released a new version of the Black Android Theme.
Good riddance.
