Any guitar players amongst you? - Off-topic

Lately the TDPRi, Strat-Talk and Squire talk apps have closed with the following message...
Anyways is it possible to reverse engineer the redundant app with the guts or parts of the current Tapatalk app? Any pointers or any help would be gratefully appreciated as I am a noob! I have reversed and changed firmware on TVs and other stuff I know its not totally impossible, just need to to know where to start. If it does work I can then offer the app to other members of the forums who miss the features of the older apps. Many Many thanks:fingers-crossed:

Don't know where to turn...

I know this is very off-topic, but I really need some basic help and you guys on XDA are hands-down friendlier and more helpful than the subject-specific forums i've tried to get help on. So here goes...
Regarding Playstation 3... there's a plethora of information on hacking/modding etc, but all seem to point to the general function of playing backed up games and black market games.
My lens blew out a few times on my old fat PS3, and i ended up buying a new slim one for gaming.
I have that old one sitting around now, and i would like to use it as a media PC in my living room. Do i need to "jailbreak" to do this or should i be looking for "homebrew" or what? I really don't know.
I know that i must have one of the older firmwares and that i'll be running linux
Can someone point me in the right direction? as in should I be following the same steps as the guys trying to play hacked games? or do i have a much simpler road ahead of me?
ANY constructive feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Don't take this the wrong way, but creating a website for the Thunderbolt right now is like showing up late to a party with a 12 pack of Bud Light. Everyone will be happy you came, but you didn't bring anything that wasn't already there. Now, if you show up with a bottle of Single Barrel Jack Daniel's, you will be the shiznit at the party. So, if you can, please try to bring something different to your website. With that said, I'll be sure to keep checking on your site, it's always nice to have more people at the party.
COMING SOON!!!!!!!

To be honest, I love this idea. It's kind of hard to find updated roms and mods for any phone, not to mention the Thunderbolt. BeardedMan... Why is making a website like this, which will (hopefully) be a good hub for Thunderbolt mods and roms, getting "late to the party?" Is there another website out there like this, besides the android forms or Rom Manager? If there is, I'd like to know.
frankzua77, I would like to say thank you. If this website becomes what I think it will, it will make modding the Thunderbolt so much easier. If you need any help, just let me know.
I think the problem beardedman is referencing is the fact that there are a lot of android websites/forums already (even thunderbolt specific) and that there are a lot of much newer phones getting the attention. I have yet to not find anything I'm looking for without a 10 second search on Google. And the Thunderbolt is real close to being yesterday's superphone, if it's not already.
Plus, the problem with any of these sites is someone has to maintain it...which means sifting through posts, updating daily, etc. Unless it's a wiki that anyone can update, it's the same reason that the stickies all get outdated. Heck, it's the same reason I've started threads on many forums for many topics trying to compile information and eventually given up.
Now that I've rained on the parade and come off as a prick, I do applaud the effort...even if it doesn't stay updated or become the hub you imagine, at least you have an idea and a passion and are trying to do something about it. Don't lose that. And who knows...maybe it's just what the community needs

I have a "Thunderbolt" folder in my Bookmarks (just like I used to with my Incredible) that I have the five links in. I can open all the links and catch up with all the newest Thunderbolt news, for the most part. And the Thunderbolt is old news actually, just being honest.
TUDrewser understood what I meant, I wasn't being rude. ThunderNet, trying checking the above sites, I bet you'll find answers to whatever questions you have.

Please see my sig..
Users can submit a MOD, Downlad mods or whatever right from the web.
Still a WIP, but just needs attention.
Not knocking this idea at all, but should really consider opening it up to a wiki format and not center only on the thunderbolt.
!
I really appreciate everyone that makes their point, I am currently working on the page. One of my goals is to have videos that can show you a ROM even before you consider downloading it. I know we are focusing on the tbolt, who knows maybe later on this expands to having other phones and stuff...
I need your help on deciding on a domain name! Right now im using a free domain service but I would like to purchase a domain, any ideas???
Also please click on the ads on the bottom as this is how the site will be funded for right now.

MultiPicture Live Wallpaper app help needed.

I've read through multiple threads but have not found the answer I'm seeking so I'll ask here.
Does anyone know of a good source of help for MPLW? I've emailed the developer twice and have yet to receive a response. A user guide would be great but I'm rescinded to the fact that there doesn't appear to be one.
What I'm looking for specifically is how do I create folders to put the wallpapers I want used into and how do I then direct the app as to what folder to use for each home screen? Frankly I'm finding the app to not be terribly user friendly unless your moderately android savvy I suppose. Finding the settings wasn't very straight forward and even once I was in the settings there are things, like pointing at specific folders, that I just can't find.
Is it me or is this app not supported very much by the developer?
As always, any help will be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Are there any mods/hacks/anything yet? Also a few other questions.

I have quite a few questions. First, I know the device has been successfully rooted, but I'm not entirely sure what the means for us users. Have any impressive mods or hacks been released for the ChomeCast yet? Also, is it possible to stream from PC to my ChomeCast? And lastly, how does this affect battery life when streaming from an Android device?
You can stream Netflix, YouTube and chrome tabs to your device from your pc.
From an Android phone you can stream YouTube, Netflix and Hulu atm
It doesn't affect battery life at all, other than using the app since the chromecast is not actually receiving any data from the phone but from a server (Netflix, YouTube, Hulu) . Your phone only sends a link to the chromecast.

Have you looked at any reviews? Done any reading/research? Those are very basic questions, that could easily be found with minimal effort. This helps keep the forum from getting cluttered and the same questions from being asked again and again. The member here are less likely to help if you not putting much effort into finding answers. Just some friendly advice.
I will provide some assistance.
1. If you have a Chromecast with the original Firmware, not likely unless you got one of the early devices and it hasn't updated the firmware, then Yes it can be rooted. Device with newer firmware out of luck, at least for now.
There not much you can really do, even if you had a rooted Chromecast at this point.
2. You can cast YouTube and Netflix form the Chrome browser on your computer. You can also cast a tab form the Chrome browser and any content it may be running. There is also an experimental feature found in the Chrome Browser that will allow you to cast you desktop.
You can also drag and drop compatible media (Music, video) into an empty Chrome browser tab and have it cast to you TV.
3. I doesn't affect battery life on you android device. Your Android device just tells the Chromecast fetch the media from Netflix, YouTube or Hulu Plus and play it on you TV. After the media starts playing you could turn off you device and the Chromecast would continue to play the media.

After having read many reviews and articles on the internet about the capabilities, features and benefits of owning/purchasing a chromecast, I came to the realization that it offered very few, if any, of those things after the "update". Still, I had the same question as the OP and hoped that XDA might further my education on the matter. I assumed based on the date of their post, that the OP was as up to date as I was. So, I eagerly clicked on the thread hoping to find a friendly conversation about any possible progress, hacks, developer apps or current work arounds, but instead was met by what seems to have become the standard retort for anyone that has a simple question on xda. The only question you left out was, "did you even try searching?"
Honestly, I am not trying to be ugly or smart, but it seems like xda is an appropriate place to ask questions when someone has one. While I know that it seems like many are lazy and don't bother searching, reading or educating themselves before starting a thread and wasting precious forum space, sometimes it would be great to find real answers and and friendly responses without assuming the OPs back story. There, I got that off my chest and provided nothing useful to the conversation myself and suppose I am prepared for the backlash, but I'd rather continue my search for answers to my original question. Is there anyone out there making the Chromecast dongle worth buying and in return, accepting donation money from me for their work? OK. Off my soapbox, no offense and sorry for wasting thread space that is better left to developers than greedy users like me.

The very first post in this section is a sticky which contains a section labeled, "Apps, Mods, Fixes, Rooting, Tutorials". It has links to a bunch pertinent threads. There is a reason it's a sticky. XDA would become useless if there where multiple post a day asking about the same subject.
I was being friendly. I informed him that he could easily find the answers he is looking for with a little effort and doing so would keep the forum clean and people would be more helpful. It was obvious they where new (only three post) and I tried to offer some friendly advice that will help them in the long run. I even tweaked my wording as to not be too harsh. then I went the extra mile and answered his questions.
Right on. Any word on the SDK being freed up yet?
Let it flo... now Free

I'm a NOOB and I need some guidance.

I'm just getting into Android development , app development, and Web creations. I am taking courses through Microsoft and learning Android on my own. That's all great however there are things they just dont teach on there. Is there anyone out there that would give me some advice on where I can look to hone my skills and get into hacking some of these platforms and creating more practical apps that people actually need. I am interested in rooting Android devices I've tried a bunch successful a few times but I can't find the software I need to be proficient at it. Any pointers?
