Database Develop

[Q] Have a few question...

And searching for them here brings up all kinds of posts that just... blow my mind.
Background:
I rooted my NC a couple days ago using Autonooter 3.0 for 1.1
My questions are:
1. Is there much of a difference between this and Honeycomb? I mean i'm aware of visual differences but does one run better or have any advantages?
2. What are all the different variations on the developer page? Not clockwork recovery but if you click over the entire first page is just a long list of different versions/different ways to root. Any of those better than the other? Or is it just 20 different ways of accomplishing the same thing.
3. Do any of those versions support web video? I know I now have a youtube app but I still can't watch videos on any other sites.
4. Why don't all apps show up in the marketplace? Is there a workaround for this? For example the first time I rooted from 1.0.1 I could access Angry Birds. Now the only one that shows up is the seasonal one...
5. If I go ahead and install the newest version of Froyo (6.6) will I have access to the Market from the start or am I going to have to go into command line and all that other stuff? I'm comfortable with the flashing and installing but as soon as you get into that I might as well be reading Russian...
I know I have more questions but I can't think of them currently. Any and all help is much appreciated.

I won't be too helpful here but since you have no replies yet...
1. Honeycomb is more functional for tablet devices, it has the notification bar on the bottom with back and menu buttons by default, it has multipane apps and new widgets and other new functions.
2. I am not sure what you are talking about here.
3. Froyo and newer support web video via flash player 10. If you can get it installed, some people have difficulties.
4. It has to do with your device ID. Google for some reason can block apps that they don't think you need on your particular device. It's good for somethings because you don't want to see GPS centric apps on a device with no GPS but it blocks lots of useful apps too. There is a way to fix it by tricking the market into thinking you have a phone like DROID. Not sure why devs don't do it thought.
5. Rom makers aren't putting the market into their roms. Google has a problem with it and has sent Cease and Desist letters to people who do it. You can install the market afterwards.

[Q] Gingerbread, SIP/VoIP and people from outside the US

I'm sorry if this has already been debated elsewhere. I did search and try to locate threads on this already, but didn't come up with anything which (seemed) relevant to this problem.
If anyone has a link handy for another thread which already discusses this, I'll close the thread if that is wanted.
With that said... Here's my issue.
As stated elsewhere, one of the main things which excited me about Gingerbread was the ability to do native SIP dialing. About time, I say! Now I've flashed Gingerbread on my SGS and so far the results has been below underwhelming.
From what I can tell this is how you get SIP/VoIP/Internet calling on your phone using Gingerbread:
1. Sign up for Google Voice.
2. Install Google Voice and sign in.
3. Voila. Your Gingerbread Android-device now has a bunch of SIP settings and options.
This is ofcourse, unless your manufacturer has somehow crippled your phone's software.
That might be the case with Samsung's firmware, but I wouldn't know because the steps outlined above is absolutely impossible for anyone outside the US. You cannot sign up for Google Voice anywhere else. End of story.
So. Is this for real? Did Google release a smartphone OS for worldwide consumption, touting "native SIP", native internet calling as feature and then implement it in a way which means it will only work in one country, all else be damned?
I seriously find this very hard to believe. There has to be a way to get this functionality up and running otherwise. Seriously? The internet maestros at Google implements a core OS-level function tied to (one) geo-location? Is third-party solutions ala Sipdroid the solution for everyone else?
So... Please tell me I am completely mistaken and that there are steps for getting SIP running on my phone, despite me not have an adress of residency ending in "US".
Any hints or links in any direction so that I can actually get to try this out would be über appreciated.

Bump.
I realize posting this while Europa were getting ready for sleep and only US-people were around might have been bad timing.
Just bumping this again to see if there's any more response. I can't seriously be the only one wondering about this.
If bumping is severely against forum policies, let me know and I'll make a note of it and wont do it again.

Use this zip as an update from CWM recovery, enables the menu "Internet call settings" under "Call settings".
Works on odex and deodex ROMS [I have the same JVB as the OP]
Problem solved

Thanks Vinnie.
Since I already have some framework-res.apk dependent mods, I just pushed the permissions-file as mentioned in that thread, and now I have "Internet calling options" available.
Yes, I realize this will only work while on wifi and SIP over 3G will be disabled, but at least it gives me something to experiment with so that later I will know if handing over my other mods for 3G VoIP/SIP will be worth it.
Thanks for the response and handy link. Now if XDA had better search, I might not have needed to pollute the forums with duplicates like this
Edit: Checked the entire thread and saw that there is an update.zip with eyecandy as well. Will try it out later.

Bloat Freezer - issue

Hey guys, today i tried to open bloat freezer, and i got the message that needs update, when i clicked to update, i got the message that is not available at the market.
I checked market via pc and i found it, but its not available anymore for me for installation
(although i have already bought it). So im wondering is it closed for me or for any P990 users ?
any1 have experinced the same ?

Just checked as I have it installed as well. I can't see any issues with it but I have it set to auto update.
Still seems to be appearing the the market.

I had the same issue and by installing another rom it disappeared but don't ask me why because it came back on another rom. I think it was on the mdc rom's
so try to install another rom.
Deinstalling the app won't work i already tried that several times

Bloat has been blocked from the market. Dont know why, but there seems like the app is doing something Google isn't happy about, as they have blocked/removed bloatfreezer two times now...I have been in contact with them, and got the following response. I decided to but MyBackupPro instead, as it gives the same possibilities and alot of other functionality as well
If you are an old customer that is having problems upgrading to the
latest version, instructions are below, please continue reading. If
you are a new customer with another issue, you can ignore this email
and I will respond to your email as soon as I can.
As you have probably noticed, Google removed the original Bloat
Freezer from the market for a stupid error in the app's description.
This makes it impossible for you to upgrade normally to the latest
version. There is nothing that we could have done to prevent this, and
Google refuses to reinstate the original app after we fixed the error.
We apologize greatly for the inconvenience and want you to know that
we love our customers and want to make this as easy as possible for
you no matter how hard Google tries to make it!!!
Below are instructions to get us the info I need to transition your
purchase from the old version to the new:
1. Go ahead and purchase the new version that is in the market.
2. Go to checkout.google.com and find BOTH the original order number
and the new order number and email both of these to us.
3. We will then refund your purchase for the original order ASAP.
4. You can then continue using the new version and get updates as
normal forever.
Once again, we apologize greatly for this inconvenience and are doing
this the best way possible. We hope that you will help us get back to
our 4.7 star rating by leaving a rating AND a comment in the market so
that others know that the new Bloat Freezer works just as great as the
old.
Thank you for understanding and sticking with us through this speed
bump that Google threw our way, we appreciate each and every one of
our customers and will be doing lots of manual labor to get all of
these orders transfered.

[Q] Titanium backup, Public Wifi Security, & RootGB to RootICS

(Wifi Question in post below this one)
Context:
I recently rooted My N7000 Note & Flashed in Chainfire's kernel. All good. Well it would be if I wasn't such a NOOB!
You see the big "to do" for me is to get some of Adobes Photoshop based apps on to the Note. I know it can be done.
The thing is at the time (before I came here) when I looked at this app I figured it would just work since the Note was being sold as a phone/tablet ( I don't know why. ). Adobes apps only work on (or should I say at least) ICS 4.0.3 as far as the Note is concerned.
-Crap-
I didn't want to flash ICS before the official fix came out, it all just seems over my head...but things have forced my hand. I got to do this without bricking my Note. So I search and go into this thread called [GUIDE] How to Flash ICS and Survive & Dr.Ketan's ICS Thread...and I try to read it. The biggest thing for me...and I have mentioned this before... is comprehending what is being said. It doesn't mean anything to me - and the few things I do understand I would do anyway (Read Everything).I'm finding that the learning curve for me with this "stuff" is just huge. I'm just seemingly inept ( or dumb simply speaking). But I want to learn this. I want to learn this. Once I do this stuff a couple of times and it's no longer new than perhaps my onslaught of "IM A DUMB NOOB" posts shall cease. Hope-fully. Maybe.
Questions:
Do I have to go back to Stock GB before I attempt to flash the Fixed/Safe ICS? If So-> Will I need to Re-Root the Note?
I got Titanium backup...but I can't seem to find it. How can I find it (it's not in the App Wall)? (June 2nd - Solved- Got PRO Key...not the App. Downloaded free app.)
I don't have Nandriod (couldn't find it), so should I back up with Rom Manager & CWM Manager?
What is going to be lost in the process?
How do I figure out which "Fixed/Safe" ICS I should put on the Note? When I Originally flashed in Chainfire's kernel I had to match some variables between my Root File and the Kernel (in this case "LA6"). Does the same thing apply (more or less) here?
Once the official Fixed ICS comes out what will I need to do?
Does anyone know of a video based guide that could assist me with flashing ICS?
I have to flash in stock ICS before I try to add an ICS ROM...Correct?

---Wifi Security---
I figured instead of making a new post, Ide bump an existing unanswered thread of mine.
Context:
While I have found something that helps prevent man in the middle attacks but I'm still very concerned/paranoid about my intended locations where I will use wifi. When I'm home WPA2 does a pretty good job of cutting 95% of the general every day crap...so of course that is not the concern. My concern is the Coffee shops, Airports, and every other public unsecured wifi port. My concern is of Passive packet sniffers, Poisoning Web browser caches, War driving of said unsecure networks and general Bhat shenanigans that being in public provides opportunity to. I know these aren't the only risks (see question).
Question:
Does anyone know of any apps/mods that can assist me in wifi security &/or prevention of Bluesnarfing/bluejacking?
Thank You.

I'm just now starting my journey in the tech field and decided to start here since it's the best forum place come across thus far with a lot of helpful tips and insights.

I just tried to root my Galaxy j2 prime, and did something wrong. I keep getting pop up after pop up of google play service errors that do not let me navigate through my phone. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Try using ADB to uninstall everything Google. Then try reinstalling it and make sure it's the newest version. I had the same problem after installing a new ROM on my Kindle Fire. It's not necessarily something you did wrong. Google Play errors happen a lot. You also need to make sure you have your account still added. Also, the thread where you learned to root it might say something about certain apps not working (like Google Services) so you might want to double check. If that's the case, and you don't care about Google Services, using ADB to uninstall them for good would be the easiest solution (as far as I know, anyway). If you do need Google Services (or want) then you might want to see if you can unroot. If you rooted so that you can install a custom ROM then you can probably just finish the process and Google apps would likely work in the custom ROM.
