So I am making poster for my english class in university "THE GOOD AND THE BAD SIDE OF INSTALLING CUSTOM ROM TO ANDROID PHONE". I am writing down pros and cons. So far I have for the pros:
Ability to use powerfull root apps
Better backup and restore
Better battery saving settings
Ability to overclock cpu, undervolt cpu, etc.
Better control of your baseband
Latest version of android OS
Ability to crack applications
Various kernel choises
Ability to edit various device settings
And for the cons:
Warranty will be void
Can be very unstable
Applications may not be able to run
Battery life can be worse
Can be slower
Some features may be lost
Can be unsafe to use tracking wise
Possibility of bricking your device
As I said, I need to make a poster. So far I have this information. Maybe you have anything to add? Seriously, do not hesitate, spread your ideas, you will really help me a lot Also, maybe you have any ideas what pictures should I put on my poster? i think I should put at least two pictures of "something" on it, otherwise it will look very empty.
Thanks for you brainstorm

And what do you mean by some apps won't run in the cons options?

I've seen where certain apps will not run correctly with certain ROM's, particularly AOSP ROMS. For example, the BofA app runs fine on my Sammy with TW. On AOSP, it can't take a picture of your check to make a deposit thru the app.

Warranty may or may not be void depending on what goes wrong with the phone, who the manufacturer is, where you live, local consumer legislation and how much you are willing to push the manufacturer to honour the warranty.

If they ripped off a working video chipset and drivers, I'd buy it...

You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag
"You don't need working drivers for that video - it's Liverpool - they always play in slow motion anyway so no problems with camera lag "
LOL !!!
Nice
Interestingly that endgadget article has a post that this phone does not actually run Windows Mobile... but some sort of rip-off.
Other sites that sell the device don't state WM6 (or any version) on their features list.
Does M$ charge alot for putting WM on a device? If so that could be one reason for the low price.
Plus it only has a 30 day warranty, I believe the tilt has a 1 year(?)

Uses "some sort of Windows Mobile operating system". The real one is already a buggy mess, go figure that one...LOL
I bet it will perform better than the Kaiser, and I'm not kidding (sadly).
It will probably perform better than the Kaiser because it is using a basic OS that is more like a calculator than a Windows Mobile.
So, it probably boots up in 5 seconds, switches apps in a fraction.
But it also probably doesn't have TouchFlo, PIE, or many of the other features that make the Kaiser/Tilt nice.
It is like any of the other numerous phones out there on the market (like from Verizon) that have a slide out keyboard with a proprietary OS.
This of course is assuming the statements above about it not being WM6 are true. If it indeed runs WM6 then I am sure the performance will be equivalent to the Kaiser.
Hey, I was bored so I figured I would code this app and throw it on the Android marketplace. It as all of the BLS Drug Profiles based off the Arizona Department of Health.
Before I throw it onto the market I figured I would ask what you guys think of the GUI. Do you guys like the way it looks? Or should I change it, what do you think I should do to make it better? Also keep in mind this is my first app.

Looks interesting. What I can see looks pretty good but you should post the apk so we can install and really check it out for ya.
This is a sorely needed app!
Thanks.
I wouldn't use blue for the text color though.
In bright lights or outdoors, that is gonna be very difficult to read.
Since this app could possibly be needed in an emergency situation, it's vital for everything to be able to be seen without any fuss or confusion.
Make it high contrast ... white text on black.
As for the overall ui, it's perfectly fine other than that. This isn't an app where asthestics are important. It's not something people will be glaring at for hours on end. It's utilitarian, it's reference. And keeping it simple is exactly what's needed.
One thing I might add at some point is a link to Wikipedia if there is one (at least I don't see it from the screenshots). Or if the material you're using for reference has other online references available to the general public, that's fine too. Especially something with links to pictures to help identify pills/capsules etc. That's just an idea.
Great job.
And if you're needing a beta tester, please let me know.
Thanks.

Ok, I will experiment with the color of the text I suppose. I can also ad a link to the Arizona Health Department Bureau of EMS. I also have a disclaimer to add, and it should be ready
Sorry for the double post, just wanted to let everyone know that I posted this on the market
okay guys, I'm almost ready to publish a new 1-click rooting exe, but I really hesitate for its icon.
So, what do you think, people ?

Smile, please... say crisis...
hmm I didn't get what you meant
it's not important.xD
how you did it? i usually got error when pushing files
come on vote
I did some research and assembled known methods into one file. It exploits psneuter as SOC does but, I hope in a better way. I managed to root 10C-E and also 11C like that in less than 20 sec. It works each time without errors. I told you that the key is the order of cmds
This one, if i may suggest to add a stroke around it's mouth

In spain, when someone is going to take us a photo, we commonly say "pa-ta-ta" in order to be smileing on the photo without the need to force-smile...
In english, people say "cheese" or "cri-sis" in order to mantain the mouth semi-open and showing the teeth...
Smileing, please...
I like the simple one, without CRISIS It looks more professional... BTW I don't care what the icon looks as long as the app works!
first one for me
It's better with a big smile
@Huexxx okaaaay lol well I think the smiling one won
would you like a wallpaper like that ?
Thanks for voting guys.
App is ready, please check my thread !
[Q]:Where is your thread???
[A]:Here! It's very hard to search for a particular post of a particular user in a very big thread.. so you know!
P.S.: Thank You!

Here we go. Here a new rooting process I've developed according to my knowledge and based on known methods. It uses the psneuter exploit in a better way, I hope. I called it BlackJack
1 clic, 20 secs, no errors. Tested on 10C-E / 11C (bouygues)
It should be P970 designed, but since "yaffs2" mount is used, it could be used for another P970-like device. These are suppositions. Tell me if I'm wrong.
USB Debugging ON / Unmounted SDC
Enjoy testing !

Without smile, please.
So, I have two of these T-Mobile devices. One of them originated from australlia, and another one has an unknown origin. So, the one with unknown origin makes me think that it is a prototype model. It has a weird custom android 1.6 firmware, and it lacks any safety notes, model names and notes in general under the battery, while the second one is bloated with them. I will attach a photo of both devices side by side on this thread. (the one with minimal text is what im curious about)

Instead of a prototype, it may be a clone (IDK).
Can you what do you mean with "weird custom android 1.6 firmware"? That's the only really useful info.
maybe it was made by a unknown man. all of that pieces taked from different places (ex: locations like one for a samsung board or nand memory). if you know about repair the entire device of something i can think you will know what happens really easy.

Is it the phone or the case? What's that ring? I don't have that on my pixel 7

"And it burns burns burns the ring of fire."
I'm fairly certain that's a magsafe compatible case charging ring reason than it is a "Pixel 7 [itself] is starting...fire hazard" device issue/reason....
You're lucky Google is giving you anything for it....that is most definitely not Google's fault as a manufacturer; there is no way this is a Samsung Note 7 exploding issue nor has there been any news/public statements claiming anything like it -- I'm fairly certain you may have misrepresented it as such, but they still sent something to appease you, so I imagine you should be happy at that (even if it doesn't quite cover all the medical bills that have resulted by this)....
Yeah, I understand the phone got hot causing the magnet to heat up but it wasn't designed for this. Depending on how that magnet works in relation to things like reverse charging, that wasn't something Google implemented to be used. If it was a factory Google case then I would understand. Like I said though I do see your point. I would suggest anyone who's able to root, flash a custom ROM like lineage and you won't deal with any of these heating issues. Android 14 also runs a lot cooler because it doesn't have the issue with pixel launcher anymore, at least it seems that way so far.
