so you just plug your phone in and your computer has internet right? thats pretty cool. It doesnt lag much? Have you noticed any issues with it so far? Did you see that i put your facebook picture on there. lol

haha yeah i saw the fb pic. but thats why i asked if it was 32 or 64 bit cause i had to install the right version for my computer. yeah just plug it in and hit connect and your good to go. doesnt cost anything if you have a data plan. not much lag no. anyways... lol. back on the thread subject. i really dont know but it doesnt look that hard to be able to get this to work. if we can then i think this would be awsome. great find!!!

if i just new where the init.d folder is on our rom, (i cant find it) i would make an androidupdate.tar to push the 10bootanimation file to that location. Then all you would need to do is create a folder on your sd card called bootanimation.

so, i guess the question would be where do we put the script file...

Firstly you should edit the file, we don't need to mount and umount the sdcard.
make it easy and just add the call to the sysinit.rc and put the sh file is /system/bin.
I'm going to put this in my next ecliar build..

Funny lol...
I heard steam announced a mac version of steam Offically.
Also heard they saw linux.so's among some of their games, may be coming to linux too..but who knows.
Not quite sure i'm gonna do about this laptop...

I hope linux gets as much support. It would probably make me want to go, but some things in Windows 7, I must say, make me want to say.
Also, funny story, I did mess around with Ubuntu(7.x) in 9th grade, and I really did try to run steam in wine. It ran but then a few weeks later it quit.

[Q] Best linux OS for a newbie

So I'm guessing there is a lot of Linux guys here and I have just bought a new HDD for installing Linux. So what do you guys recommend for a total newbie (with only Linux that is) like me?
Anything else than Ubuntu
Thanks

I reckon Ubuntu is your best bet Pretty n00b friendly
Edit: lol Just noticed the big writing saying not ubuntu my bad
Try looking here http://www.linux.org/dist/
Set language to english and intel compatible and it will show all the Linux Distributions Maybe just see wht you like the look off

Yep you would either need another harddrive or to partition your harddrive or to run in a VM

i was just gonna make another partition, and if i do, and it installs, will it automatically ask me which to boot from when i power it on?

Why not Ubuntu just out of curiosity. Don't want to start a flame war

I just think it's too common and too similar to Windows I want something new

Oh okay. If you try something "exotic" let us know your feedback!! I am going to do a reinstall on my computer soon and was thinking of switching away from Ubuntu just for the sake of trying something new so I'd like to hear some objective reviews.
Have you thought about "rolling your own"?

What do you mean? I did write "newbie" in the title right?

Sorry I meant you can make your own. There's a site dedicated to it but you might not want to do that just yet. Have you looked at OpenSuse? Haven't used it in a while but it was good. I tried the KDE version of Federa a month or two ago. A bit buggy! Mint Linux has had some good reviews anyway just my input!

Personally it's only the GUI I want to have some variety in so I'm trying out "Xubuntu" which I think is Ubuntu with XDE desktop-thing-which-I-don't-remember-what's-called-thing xD I did read about openSUSE but it was too much like Ubuntu I think

For a complete noob, Ubuntu is the way to go. It'll get you started pretty quick and the interface is just a matter of choice. If you want something that's uberHaxX0rZ, try installing a tiling Window Manager such as awesome instead of Gnome (which is default in Ubuntu).
I myself use Arch Linux with gnome-panel and Compiz as a standalone Window Manager and I'm loving it!

I myself am an Ubuntu man. I'm currently digging the Ubuntu 10.10 beta. 2 weeks until the final release!

I myself is trying to use the default window manager in Kubuntu but I can't get it working It's driving me crazy :/ It just says that non of the effects could be enabled...

This usually happens because the drivers for your graphics card aren't installed properly (or the card is ancient).
This is exactly one of the things why I personally dislike Ubuntu. If you're lucky, it'll work like a charm, but if you're not, you're gonna spend hours and hours trying to get it to work.
Either way, you can probably fix it by downloading and installing proprietary drivers for your card, since the open source ones probably don't work with your card. Though on the other hand, maybe you need to use opensource ones because the proprietary ones that installed automatically don't work? Who knows?

[Q] 16gb Flash drive is read only

I have a 16GB flash drive sent from HP as a restore drive. I no longer have the laptop and would like to use the flash drive as my current laptops restore device. It is showing everywhere as read only. I have already opened the flash drive to see if they put a switch inside. Which they didn't. So any help with this would be appreciated.

Have you tried formatting it???

Yep. It won't let me. I can't even remove the partition and add it back. In computer management it says the entire drive is read only

Hmm... Perhaps then the hardware is actulay only read only....
Seeing that they sent it you as a restore drive

nothing is there. It doesn't come up with read-only or any options like that. I have tried low level format. Destructive partitioning in Unix. Many things. I am really starting to think the hardware itself is like ROM instead of RAM. I dunno

Have you looked up any chip details, or identified a manufacturer?
Often, these devices have a "programming" tool that can be used to lock or unlock them. I know I can unbrand some of those free ones companies give out, since I have the programming tool.
If you can find the right tool, you might be half way there

Vista issues, password work around?

Sorry is this isn't mobile related but usually I just stay old school and throw xp pro and find drivers on a pc but this is a laptop that I just fixed and need the info still on the hard drive. It's about three years old no restore disk at all, no internet except my phone, no disc burn capabilities, and tried to override through safe boot to no avail. Googled the crap outta this, any help would be outstanding, thanx lol, kinda mobile related:-o

No - install a Linux Live image onto a spare USB stick and just boot the laptop off that. It will give you full access to the hard-drive and you can get any data you need off it.

Take Ownership
the live cd doesn't touch your hard drive as far as formatting goes.
Another option that is something extremely helpful all the time anyway is the take ownership registry hack. I've provided the link below. all you have to do is extract, open the 'Add Take Ownership Option.reg' file and boom its in. then you right click on the folder you need access to and click 'Take Ownership'. Depending on how many files are in the folder and the processor it could take awhile. Basically it is doing the same thing you would do from the command line to take ownership but without all the fuss of having to manually do it for every single file. Hope this helps.
