Hi there guys,
I am a Medical student from Amsterdam. and have finally decided to participate in this forum with the goal Sharing My personal android [Apps] and [Tips] that survived years of evolutionary pressure. And I want to do so in a way that is a little bit different than that we are used to, via a mindmap that is (scroll down) :good:
Get me right here I am by no means even remotely related to the neighbor of the cousin of a Developer.
I am just one of you guys, a regular general xda users that is trying to distillate everything useful out of these Forums and put it to use
This is the moment I will spit some of this love right back in thy face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Introduction]
Gone are the days of typing a text messages with T9 only to find yourself counting the characters to minimize it all to 1 SMS.
These are the days in which we use our phones (to) excessively for every little this and that.
I do believe that it is how we have set up our phones on a the basic level (not the Rom, kernel, ect we have installed on it) that determines most of our user experience. I know that I probably p*ss*d off several people right there.
Don't get me wrong here, these forums are full of GREAT Devs delivering GREAT work kernel-and-rom-wise. And YES I do think that for instance a different touch-screen driver can defiantly be a game changer in the way we use our phone. In addition, there are much more of these examples(charger control, screen calibration etc.) that quite enhance user experience.
In my humble opinion I know that eventually these things are not what makes my phone a great, useful or even mind extending tool. Trust me here, for quite some time I have been coping with well-known tendency to keep flashing and flashing.
trough the years I have gone all MAD- [ASOP-MIUI-CAF-CM(lots of its "distro's" included)-Sailfish-Stock'nd'Hybrid]-APE-Sh*T on my Phones (i9070 -> nexus5 -> Opo)
I have to admit that there are still times (*kuch*OFTEN*kuch*) my behavior relapses into the fatty livered Flashaholic I once was. :crying:
I know for a fact that there are quite some readers who are like "yup. I can relate to this". :highfive: ! so lets get serious.
Generally speaking, every time you flash a (non-major android release)ROM there doesn't really change anything essential in the way you use your phone right?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I do not want to get all to jibberish philosophical on the subject because initially I am here to bring you something hopefully useful. So you can skip this paragraph if you want:
All I know is that the PLACEBO effect does quite some magical things to the humans we are, so my best guess is that most probably "it" does also it's effect on these forums. In short:
If we expect X then we will experience at least a little bit of X. :angel:
For that, If we put effort into flashing a zip and we get an emotional stimulus accordingly (examples: "Look at me being awesomely geeky" or "Wow I hope I won't be destroying my phone with this flashable camera Hal") Chances are that what we will experience as
"THE SMOOTHEST ROM EVER" will at least partially be caused by this often seemingly paradoxical phenomena called Placebo.
Sounds familiar right. This example is simply written in about only 8 out of 10 threads you open. :silly:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But well, lets get to what it is this seemingly cynical person has you to offer :good: (don't worry) :
Over the years, there have been several "phases" In winch we have gone knee deep into a specific topic. I think this will not sound unfamiliar since I am definitely not the only one here. Just to name a few, I know some of you can relate to.
Launchers, Equalizer, gestures, photography(editing),remote control, and so on and so forth. my most recent for instance are Raw photo shooting and Google Cardboard. I say knee deep because as I said before I am no developer so I haven't gone in neck(code)deep.
What I want to do in this thread is described the Android deliciousness that have survived this strong urge to keep jumping from one '"Phase" to another and to combine this with the tweaks and general stuff that has made it so far trough the rising android evolutionary resistances by growing competition and the constant change of the technological world we live in.
Of course, I am not going to make this a freaking blizzardous long post containing all details and way to obvious apps etc. because that would
1]. Not be of any use for you. since you probably know everything already.
2]. Everything you have to setup according to your style. There are only a few MUST HAVE things which get a special treatment. (see photo below)
3]. Thiss will take me way to much time which I don't have since I am already typing this document to avoid studying.
Tldr:
I am going to superficially share my personal distilled [APPS] & [TIPS] and the way I use my phone every day. Hopefully skipping most of the way to obvious aspects. (facebook,Instagram,the power on button of your phone..or the fact that you are continuously seeing your nose without you even realizing it.etc) I want to keep it readable. agreed? See below

DISCLAIMER
Did you notice how I did my best to emphasize the "personal" aspect of this thread in the first Alinea? If not let me just explain one seemingly simple thing. I am just a 22 y.o. Dutch student with his own views on the world and for that on the way we use our phones. If you think I suck because of the things I write in this thread. Then I want to congratulate you! You are as human as me. we all have opinions. Sharing them in a respectful/discrete way is MEGA appreciated. see what I did there?
[ If by any means I violate forum rules please make me aware of that. ]
Foresight:
The second and third post will be used for working out the things stated above.
I have been typing and thinking for two days now and I wanted to let you guys know I was working on something. Therefor this not yet completed "paper" It already contains the essentials, though!
Since this is my first post ever let me know what you think.
please.
Have a great day, Greetings from Amsterdam!

This is a post I just read in Kaiser forum, and it almost brought tears to my eyes
This should be a sticky:
Extreme Noobs Read Now - I Did It!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A BLOND FEMALE EXTREME NOOB DID IT!
My friends said I couldn’t do it. Mostly my male friends. All my girl friends supported me, but the general consensus was being female and being blond, I would have a hard time. LOL Well, I started by reading, reading, reading and READING on here for the past few weeks and finally got my ATT&T tilt a yesterday. I read and studied so much on this forum, I was practically bursting at the seams to put into practice what I had been studying night and day for the last 3 weeks or so. I also want to say THANKS THANKS THANKS to this forum and all who participate especially the moderators and senior members who read and wade with suspicious eyes (will this be a redundant post, they think), but who also assuage with empathetic concern for the worn out and battered, but otherwise persevered noob. I DID IT! I DID IT!
Like all mentors, they try to instill in all noobs like me a virtual sense of responsibility and accomplishment by not giving up information so readily and thus fostering a sense of, ‘pull yourself up by your own bootstraps’ kind of reasoning as they have been there and done that and you have not. Depending on your situation, this can be either good news or bad news. For those like me with a fundamental understanding and an ounce of technical aptitude, it is certainly good news. For others, it’s an emotional roller coaster ride and I feel sorry for all who go through such hell. KNOW YOUR BOUNDARIES AND LIMITATIONS! If you buy a phone you have no business owning because you think it’s cool looking only to find out that it’s really meant for the corporate power user variety and those who possess a higher than normal level of gadgetry prowess, what do you expect? Add to that , if you’re not technically savvy enough to operate it and install everything, what would be the point because eventually you would realize all you really have is an expensive phone and how you keep wishing you could get it to look like the ATT&T tilts you see on you tube.
I THINK I AM THE MOST EXTREME NOOB OUT THERE AND I AM FEMALE AND BLOND….TWO STEREOTYPES IN ONE!!
BUT…I was able to do it all on my own (Kicked boyfriend to the curb several weeks prior so didn’t want to ask him) with the exception of one thing which I have been working on and will continue to work on until all options are exhausted. Then I will post. I am 98% done and I chose Dutty’s 6.1. I really like it. I got through the white screen, made it through the compatible radio thingy, changed my military clock to regular (I’ve seen many posts on this), I installed he keyboard fix, enabled touchflo (I love it!) and so much more. I have one more pretty important thing I need to do, but as I said, I will keep reading before I post on here. Probably something I did.
I wanted to post on here so badly yesterday while I was installing just like everyone else does, but unlike those who do post, I decided to just keep at it and kept on reading and learning. I am soooo glad I did because now the whole install means more to me. I mean, I appreciate it more, the process. If you're just given something, how can you really respect or appreciate the accomplishment or end result?
THE ANSWERS ARE OUT THERE. Yes. It does take some due diligence on your part, but damn, you are getting this invaluable information for FREE. Free I tell you. What more do you want? All that is required is your time and willingness to learn. Has the fabric of society weakened so much that it has generated a new breed of lazy? Seriously? Could it be as simple as stupid is stupid or how about even willing stupidity? You either have the mental capacity to process and implement the information or you do not. It’s that simple. Period. I try to know the technical ins and outs of Quantum Mechanics which is why you would never see me lecturing on the theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics and their applied actions in the world of physics. I do know however, that riding a bike downhill will cause it to go faster and that each step I take forward puts me one step closer than the previous and pretty soon if I keep putting each foot in front of the other and walking, I’ll end up where I want to be. Having no or limited knowledge, I could end up in a rough area of town or because I have knowledge of the geographic area, it would likely be that shoe store who is having the amazing sale - Two different places and two different outcomes. One would lead to my own personal happiness (the shoe store sale) and the other to a potential statistic depending on the area of town you happen find yourself. You choose.
And to add a little further bit of my scintillating educational content to this subject, I’ll bring out the, "How to tell if something is complicated and over your head, even without understanding it, in case you can't be convinced by the fact that it actually IS complicated and over your head" kit. Opening the box, I take out two long, bare copper wires, and I put one in each of your hands. Onto my own hands I put thick rubber gloves. Now, I turn to you and demand, "Explain electricity", which is, you gotta admit, simple enough if you understand anything about electricity. But if you get it even partially wrong (with grammar and posture counting towards your total points!), I cruelly jam the other ends of those copper wires into the wall electrical outlet and let the local power company give you (zzzzt!) the lesson of your stupid life about how complicated things which are over your head and you know nothing about can be very frustrating and expensive for you! Not just with this phone, but in life. Remember that.
Finally, I want to say thank you again. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I am a firm believer in determination. Sweat equity, pays dividends and the feeling of accomplishment waving over me at this moment dwarfs the learning curve and frustration involved with doing it on my own. It can be scary. Anything first new or foreign is scary to a person; A new job, a new relationship, etc. It is only once you become proficient that you wonder how you were ever afraid of falling off in the first place.
Just some good food for thought!

The beginning is kind of boring, eg 'i'm so l337' but I guess the latter two paragraphs are pretty funny
Hi to all i was just wondering if it is illegal to mod other peoples phone because i am in school and i mod peoples phone you know give them root and change boot img (like the T-mobile G1/My Touch 3G) and my dad thinks its illegal and want me to stop he also thinks that some one is going to connect it to a bomb and blame me i just want to get some other peoples views and such thanks for you feed back!-)
I'm pretty sure the "modding G1 and giving them root" police are only in Oregon, so you should be ok. Although I hear they are expanding their field offices to include Fargo, ND and North Grovesnerdale, CT so be on the lookout if you are near those areas.
In all serious, I think you are fine.....

**** good lookin out. I don't want to go to jail... haha
Ahahhhahahahaahahahahahahhahahahhahahaahahahahahhaahha! Ok, now that I got that out of my system. It is not illegal to mod an electronic device. When it becomes illegal is when you mod the device to do illegal actions, like play burnt copies of video games, or run illegal version of operating systems, etc. With that said, modding your g1/mt3g is just fine. As long as your not modding the phone to be a detonator for a nuclear bomb, your fine. Be sure to issue a disclaimer before modding anyone's phone. You don't want anyone coming back to your demanding money for a bricked phone. Just let them know that your trained in what you do, but there is still no guarantee that everything will go as planned. I've modded a couple of peoples g1's and I had them reply to an email with my personal disclaimer. Just as a back up...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SUPER FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but seriously...when I was younger I ALWAYS questioned if my actions hack/mod wise were legal......
fyi, it's now only illegal to load an old cyanogen mod with the proprietary google apps (for now, who knows what the future will bring legislation wise) .....according to google.....and probably their power lawyers.
While we are on the subject of legallity?
Hi to all i was just wondering if it is illegal to watch interspecies erotica? Because i am in school and i watch people you know give them root, and my dad thinks its illegal and want me to stop. he also thinks that some one is going to connect it to the web and blame me. i just want to get some other peoples views and such thanks for you feed back!-)

LOL
just keep clear of any suspicious activities.... if someone asks for your help in making something that goes boom...its more than likely an fbi agent
It's not illegal unless you distribute copyrighted software. If you are simply rooting the phone you are fine, but if you have to downgrade it you are technically redistributing software without a license to do so. Either way I wouldn't worry about them coming to knock on your door for flashing a few kids phones.
On another note. Although it may make you the cool guy in class who can mod phones, I would advise you tell them to learn on their own. Otherwise you will end up being tech support for countless idiots who don't know what to do with root. Do you really feel like spending hours walking people through a Hero rom install, or SD partitioning? Cause that's what you are asking for by doing so.
The whole point of performing such mods is for the learning experience, and expanding the capabilities of your device for personal enjoyment. It's not so people can say "look what I can do" or "my phone is cooler than yours". My opinion is: If you won't put forth the effort to read and learn how, you don't need it.
You probably spent a good bit of time learning what you have. I know it feels great to be able to show off those skills, but in the long run they will thank you for making them learn rather than doing it for them.

QFE 10chars
What's the difference between General and Q&A?
i would imagine one is for general Nexus One information (touchscreen issues, USB Driver info)
while this one is for Q&A - where do i plug it in to charge it, can i use a stylus, can i root it, things of the like.
Yes, and for gathering How-To's, guides and the sort.
I think its a conspiracy by the small douche sect of xda trying to create more opportunities to berate people for not using the search function or posting in the wrong forum. Hey I guess if people don't have a purpose in life we can't blame them for trying to create one. To each his own right? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum...
Don't know if you're just trolling but there are separate sections and a search function for a reason: so that people aren't asking the same questions ( that have already been answered) over and over again.
The other reason is that clear categories/sub-forums help you find the correct information faster.
I like the new layout because if I want to know about apps/themes, there's a forum.
If you're too stupid to figure out the different between Q&A, Development, Accessories, Theme/Apps, and General Questions, should you really be on a modding/hacking forum?

Agree, it mainly prevents a lot of redundent information and can assist in narrowing the info down to a sub-forum.

Lol. I was literally thinking the same thing when I reread my post. Ive been pretty disapointed with my phone as of late. Pretty much the only news about nexus recently has been bad news (ie "the ram sucks the signal sucks the screen sucks the image quality sucks") its a real drag. but Ill try to care less

The Wall Street Journal is of course more reputable, but I like the first article better since it has more detail and informative graphs:

Apple, if they needed a reason to go after HTC, and by proxy Google, may have had it in marketshare numbers. Android's growth has been pretty spectacular over the past few quarters highlighted by the graphs below from Quantcast, a web analytics firm.

While iPhone is clearly the market leader in Web consumption with over four times the share as Android, its nearest competitor, recent trends show that they aren't standing on firm ground.
In the last month the iPhone has lost 3.2% of its marketshare compared with RIM and Android both gaining considerably. This isn't just a monthly blip either, at least with regards to Android. Google's phone market has grown 44% over the past quarter and almost doubled over the past year while the iPhone has lost around 5% and 10% of the overall market over those same periods.
The iPhone is still gaining users and pageviews, Android is just gaining so much faster.
According to some sources, Steve Jobs recently told an Apple Town Hall meeting:
On Google: We did not enter the search business, Jobs said. They entered the phone business. Make no mistake they want to kill the iPhone. We won’t let them, he says. Someone else asks something on a different topic, but there’s no getting Jobs off this rant. I want to go back to that other question first and say one more thing, he says. This don’t be evil mantra: “It’s BS.” Audience roars.

Nice find, I'm feeling better already!
A Poem to MIUI
A POEM FOR YOU
In the midst of two zero double one,
I had my first android which I won,
As a guy who always want some fun,
My first adventure on flashing begun.
I search the net for what to do,
Then search on ROMs for what is new,
And then my passion begun to grew,
The time I found Miui, yes its you.
I was so disapointed that I cant reach you,
Because of my low end device that wasnt new,
That my X8 only run's in froyo,
But luckily there are gingerbread port before I knew.
The best eyecandy than other I must say,
From its unique features to how its display,
I used Miui v3, even on my dismay,
Even on my device it causes delay.
My obsession grew that I cant deny,
In my old shakira I must say goodbye,
For I have to earn for me to buy,
To experience the real MIUI.
Atlast its a dream come true,
When all the functionality I have in you,
Thanks for the obsession I had S2,
Now I can play and explore the more of you.
From v3 to v5 its really something,
A lots of improvements that makes it the best thing,
Im really excited each update you bring,
For all android customization you are the king.
What a great experience on call and sms,
Your memories are safe on cloud services,
Free songs and apps on online resources,
You bring the best on all the devices.
Blacklisting and whitelisting are so easy,
Better protection from bad people lunacy,
For you we dont have to worry,
Because you really value the users privacy.
Control your data plan with network assitant,
Backup your data which are important,
Lose phone find it thru Xiaomi account,
What can you say about this? One thing it's brilliant.
Filter messages thru Anti - Spam,
Never miss the fun with sheduled alarm,
Always protected from risk with virus scan,
An easy access to functions thru toggles drop down.
Maximize buttons and screen for better accesibility,
Large and small font sizes so grandma can see,
Young and older people you make them all happy,
With such full packed tools and functionality.
From transitions to its operation,
From music effects with lyrics and caption,
From its flipping note creation,
Tell me who can avoid such temptation?
Those flashy icons, that almost copied by iphone,
That unique and cool launcher you call MiHome,
With MiSpace you will see your room,
Who can resist to put it in there custom ROM?
You can choose your everyday theme,
From sweet zip to sexy beam,
From naughty Mitu to transformer extreme,
This is the whole package that you could dream.
I joined the forum to dig deeper,
Became a beta tester to be a bug reporter,
Became a moderator to reach you further,
Proud to be in the community that help each other.
You see you are fast growing,
In every device port are showing,
Everyday we grew and keep ongoing,
You will not fall with the spirit glowing.
I know its still a long road all the way,
To satisfy all the customer based on what they pay,
I know there are ups and down but hey.
Lets all forget it for a while and celebrate on the sixtenth day.
In the 16th day, you will be three,
I want to see you on top of android tree,
Bring more happiness and fun that it should be,
A happy happy birthday from Mika Dee.
I hope your all plans will pursue,
And I believe you will never quit but continue.
Your superb legacy is to redefined Andrew,
All will agree to me that those are true.
Ops I almost forgot I have lots to do,
So let me end here my story,
On How I Met you.
**********
*****
**
PS:
Below is a Challenge.
I had form a shape i hope you see,
A symbol of love between you and me.
My humble appreciation of your creativity,
That for all of us will never be ordinary.
Theres a lot of touching testimony,
On how they met you for your beauty.
Goodluck to all who gave their entry,
Win or lose all are great story.
I wonder why people keep on translating,
I think they find this poem very interesting,
Its a previledge for me and its overwhelming,
So maybe you people can add more to what Im saying.

OP's dp or the poem?

We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?
My dislike for MIUI and the fact that its "birthday" is over means I can do this...
Do I get one custom xda device profile badge, because of it being an official xda sponsored device? LoL! Joking of course!
This thing does remind me of the Unihertz Titan OG, and how quirky that clunky Passport Personification, or the HTC Touch Pro2 when it got to being flashworthy with all diverted kinds of Rom's and OS'es.
I got it specifically for flashing, but it's so beta-type is funny and admirable in a kinda lovely halfhearted sense of how crazy it acts.
Fortunately, I didn't spend full price on it, lucked out and got one off eBay for $400.
Much more worth this price, cause of the following laughable quirks;
1. If you're powered off and plug in a charger, it powers right up.
2. Touchscreen is sensitive and seems to have ghost touches, not cause of a broken screen but like trying to long press to get the context menu to popup in the browser and so on etc.
3. Fingerprint scanner in the completely wrong place, can't tell you how many times Iberia accidentally hit and not meant to.
4. The same could go for camera shutter button.
5. Tremendously slow speeds for 4g/LTE.
So far, this is all I've noticed on the first half a day's use.
Attempting to transition from Unihertz Titan Pocket and UTP is holding on to my heart still. But again, f(X)Tec Pro1-x IMO and usage is a modding flasher phone.
So what all flavors do we have and is it in these forums or f(x)tec's, I'm curious about SailfishOS and a few others.
I believe you are the first guy who has hands on the fxtec phone and openly admitted using it.
Here you go. You deserve this badge.

Wished I would've researched it a bit more, I see the regular Pro1 has a lot more rom's.

Do I get one custom xda device profile badge, because of it being an official xda sponsored device? LoL! Joking of course!
This thing does remind me of the Unihertz Titan OG, and how quirky that clunky Passport Personification, or the HTC Touch Pro2 when it got to being flashworthy with all diverted kinds of Rom's and OS'es.
I got it specifically for flashing, but it's so beta-type is funny and admirable in a kinda lovely halfhearted sense of how crazy it acts.
Fortunately, I didn't spend full price on it, lucked out and got one off eBay for $400.
Much more worth this price, cause of the following laughable quirks;
1. If you're powered off and plug in a charger, it powers right up.
2. Touchscreen is sensitive and seems to have ghost touches, not cause of a broken screen but like trying to long press to get the context menu to popup in the browser and so on etc.
3. Fingerprint scanner in the completely wrong place, can't tell you how many times Iberia accidentally hit and not meant to.
4. The same could go for camera shutter button.
5. Tremendously slow speeds for 4g/LTE.

Bug 6. Jumpy, jittery, tourettes like hyperactive bouncy screen scrolls.
LMAO
This poor thing is a real test of patience!
I pulled out the UTP just to be able to type and post this. Ha

Looks like lineage supports the pro1x.
LineageOS Downloads

You can try and be an alpha tester for the same.

I've really been considering SailfishOS, again as I mentioned, I mainly got this for flashing, hopefully Linux Mobile too, so it's really just an early adaptation device, which is why I compared it to the days of Windows Mobile and Android just getting really popular on WinMo devices such as the LG Fathom, HTC Touch Pro2, HTC HD2 and MAGLDR / Android2SD. Especially compared to the first two for PKB devices with the versatility to flash multiple OS'es to it.
One other thing, I wouldn't really call it a bug, but this dang pesky sim tray.
7. That darn notch in the dim tray is a real PAIN! LMAO
