So I have noticed a lot of people use DevHost for files. I grabbed a custom rom from there and I have to say it has been nothing but trouble. I am suffering from bad advertising malware in my browser now. Is this a new thing? Am I the only one who has this problem?

No problem here, you just need to know which "download" button to click

Adblock?

Did you figure out how to get rid of those stupid ads addon? I did, I am just making sure you did.
Yeah, I'm not a fan either. It's bad enough using it from a PC, but much worse from a phone. Last time I used it from a phone it had 3 different links saying "Download" on them, it took me about a minute of looking at it to make sure I was going to hit the right link.
It would help if they changed the link to say "Download (filename)". At least the advertisers would have to work a little harder to make it really confusing.

Dang guys, I'm sorry about asking about a web site... My bad. Didn't think it would cause so much trouble. I appologize...

IMHO, mistakes are made, stuff happens. Best thing to do is learn from it and not do it again, and heck, if it keeps someone else from making the same mistake, all the better. No worries!

Nah, you're forgiven since you weren't banned. Nobody's really to say that you weren't. Half of these people here are probably on that site anyways.

Very new to root and roms. I upgraded to 4.0.1 very soon after having 3.6.8.1.
What are some of the neat things you can do? What settings have you changed? I JUST found out that there was another keyboard other than the android touch.
I did not know where this was appropriate and did not want to junk up cyans rom thread. Hope this is okay and apologies if its not. Just want to know what other cool features I am missing out on, and to also see what settings people roll with.

Best way to get the whole story is to compare the changelog of 3.6.8.1 to 4.0.1 which is available in their respective threads. One thing that was cool was the global search function from donut but that go reverted in 4.0.1. It will probably make an appearance in the 4.x.x experimental series however.....
I should clarify, I did not have 3.6.8.1 long enough to find all the easter eggs either. What settings do you change or things do you use after flashing his rom?

Hey DirectMatrix is this going to be another thread like yesterday.
yeah i'd also like to know.. im also new to the art of the root.. i also have my own questions
i know the myfaves app doesnt work, in fact doesnt even appear lol, but the actual myfaves service still works right?
and do the im apps work? im talking about the native one. it doesnt seem to be working for me =/
also, i want my settings optimized for overall speed.. what do you guys use for this?

You don't want the mygayes app on your phone anyways, its just a hog. It still does work, if you need to set it up just go to your online account and do it.
What native im app are you talking about, its been to long since I had the factory rom installed. But I can vouch for aim and googletalk do work.
If you are on Cyanogens rom everything should be optimized to full speed.
yeah i never used the myfaves thing to begin with, thats why when i heard its gone if you root, i didnt really care lol. plus i was already planning on getting rid of the whole service anyway. but thanks!
im talking about the one that comes with the phone. has aim, msn, and yahoo. i try logging but it just endlessly keeps saying "signing in..". im not sure if i just have to wait, or if its not working.
awesome!

^ which was not the intention... I am fully aware of IM and MyFaves. I mean very literally, do you alter/change anything when loading cyans rom? I.E., turning off the android keyboard.

LOL, yessir. I'm trying to hold back. Who knows I might let one fly at anytime.
I guess I'll chime in. One of the reasons I flashed to this rom over an old roger's rom was for VPN. That and the sweet power widget.
Thanks again for the help yesterday guys.

Direct and Supreme... you guys aren't really helping, so why post? I'm not asking how to root.... i've read the release notes.... I'm not asking anything I think is silly. I just want to know what settings you guys change and if there are any things you find particularly cool with his rom. I am embarrassed I just found out how to use the keyboard, so I guess you can pick on that... but please, do it over PM and not here.

Point taken...my appologies...Supreme and I like to keep things lighthearted and have some fun. I'm sure I speak for him when I say we both apologize for offending you.
To answer your question....I was pretty much being completely serious about reading the change logs and comparing. That's where I get most of my info but as far as settings go, I second someone else's poste about the badass power widget. I also like the 5 homescreen options, the logcollector app is nice for troubleshooting, the fact that the buld.prop file has been changed slightly means that the new version of "My Account" runs properly without any futzing around, and playing around with the text app is fun because of the mms enhancements courtesy of rgv151.
Many of the other enhancements that make cyan's ROMs awesome are behind the scenes that just make it run faster (kernel tweaks, CPU scaling etc). These have no options available to the user, they just are part of the build that contribute to cyanoganized awesomeness.

Just like Direct said we ain't tryna make fun or nothing. We do help out alot, but after a long boring day of programming at work we got to do something fun to help pass time away. And hey we really didn't even joke around unlike the other thread. Best thing to do is just play around with the phone, try out all the apps, play with the settings, and just explore. Like Direct said alot of things are behind the scenes.

That doesn't explain why, just what, which is now very apparent, although it would have been nice to have a link from slideme.com to the new site so people like me weren't left wondering.
Nor did they even bother to email app coders before or since doing this, it's really very bad for them since they have a user base used to going to the old URL and suddenly there is nothing but a sign up that it's down till further notice.
Hello, this could be a really stupid question but ive searched and I havent found an answer. As far as i remember you can install hero mods without rooting, how do i do this?

You don't. Not sure what you want to "mod" but just about everything not available on the market, and possibly everything seen here requires root. It's not hard, just do it.
I just want to be able to do all these gorgeous things http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=519
Download the .zip file, place it into your SD card, reboot into recovery mode (phone needs to be rooted by the way) by holding the HOME key and POWER key, select aaply sdcard:choose zip, select the .zip you just downloaded.

Not too long ago there was an article posted on XDA talkin about a new app for honeycomb. It was suposed to pick up the radio signals from near by phones and decrypt them and allow you to listen in on the calls made from it and also look through the contents of the phone. Now I can't find it anywhere? Can anyone help me with a link to the article or a link to DL the app?

lol yea, i wish i could find it though, seems like it would be fun to play around with, i knew i shoulda downloaded it when i first saw it. well if anyone else happened to see it then let me know
If it was not an April Fools prank then it was almost definitely very illegal.
Listening into other cell phones would fall under wiretap ordinance. It might be a bluetooth hack, which would still be illegal but not as bad, since you are talking about looking through the contents of a phone. Bluetooth (short of a exploit) would not let you look through the phone arbitrarily either though.
Even if this kind of an app was real, why in the world would you install it? Seems like just asking for serious trouble, serious as in jail time serious.
