Anyone working on getting the new Verizon NFL app to other Android devices?
Man I hope so! But the way the NFL is with "protecting the sheild" I wouldn't be surprised if the dev got a CAD letter before they even posted the hack! LOL I don't think Verizon would be too keen either considering it cost them upwards of 700 milion for the rights to publish such an app... But here's to hoping!
I had the sprint one, but as soon as it updated it stopped working, as you had to get the updated version of the app, which you couldn't do if you weren't on sprint
There is a link to it in the Nexus one App forums. Works fine on the Nexus One, but I can't get any video on the G1. DL it, give it a shot. If anyone can get the video working that would be awesome.

Can someone using OpenEclair or equivalent test this? I think it's more of an OS issue rather than hardware.
no it's not the OS, I've tried it on a couple 2.1 and 1.6 roms and still no video
I think it's frickin beast. I love it!
Im getting the new myTouch 3g slide for Christmas and I was trying to see if anyone could make me the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy theme or a rom of it for my myTouch 3g slide. All help is greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm on 12, so don't get mad if I don't understand.
just a quick 30 second scan of the development section for the slide turned up a ROM that was done back on Sept.

why get the slide? get the g2
#1: Because I'm only 12 years old.
#2: Because my parents don't have that much money and can't afford the G2

In my opinion you shouldn't upgrade a phone every couple of months unless you're a developer or unless you have upgrade-A-phone-Syndrome. I think if anyone has the Slide then you should hold off until some real ground breaking phone comes out before you upgrade. The only good I can say about the G2 vs the Slide is the faster processor. Yes I am aware of the larger screen and better resolution on the G2, but is it really worth leaving the Slide behind? The Slide does a lot for a phone. I don't think we realize how far technology has come. I think we sometimes take it for granted. Do you remember before cell phones there was beepers? Do you remember getting paged and having to return that call on a near by pay phone (I'm 21 years old by the way)? The Slide can browse the internet, record video's, take pictures with LED flash (some high end phones don't even have flash), play music, download music/video's from websites, wireless tether, voice turn by turn gps navigation for free, text/call hands free (genious button) etc. A lot of other smart phones still can not do some of the things the Slide can. PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS TO OFFENSE, BUT FEEL FREE TO RESPOND IN A RESPECTABLE MANNER. ANYONE CAN RESPOND!

Some people, this may be true, but for many there are very good reasons to upgrade that have nothing to do with the "A-phone-syndrome". I'm in the process of upgrading to the G2 myself now. I waited, but now that they broke the root I just cant justify staying any longer.
If I had to say there was only one single reason, I'd say for the mass of community support. The G2 is so much newer, yet there is much more support for it already on the forums. This is very important to me.
Other things to consider:
- There are now sense ports for it, as I wouldn't buy it with vanilla.
- Basic sense has no stupid faves/faves widgets, just the original HTC favorites. Much better
- Now with overclock kernels you can run it at 1.4ghz, and I hear it runs pretty fast! The espresso still hangs a bit sometimes, and at times, long enough to annoy me.
- You have full s-off.
- True full root. With the slide, you cant modify system apps while booted normally, or even reboot through adb shell. Annoying.
- Better resolution with a bigger screen.
- More storage.
- No genius button. I've had mine remapped since I bought the phone - not a fan of the genius app. And its slow.
-I prefer the keyboard, and I only buy phones with physical boards because I use them! Otherwise I'd buy all touch. Only downside is its still not 5 row like the good ol g1, but then again neither is the espresso. Still wins out for typing speed.
-There are now mods making it so that you can use the trackball to wake/sleep the phone like on the espresso, which was about the only other thing I didnt like. Top mounted power buttons = inconvenient.
- 4G network anybody?

I really think you should take your time to read around the forums and absorb more information before you start asking questions/make comment. Or simply finish reading a thread. Maybe then that will automagically make you realize that there is a link. lol.
I know, it's getting very confusing.
I actually did and there's nothing there but random roms by random developers but not the s themed

Look there is a galaxy s theme with an actual touchwiz launcher installed. Just look. If you cant find it in the dev section then your not looking.....
And these arent random roms by random people they are roms made by people that actually take time to learn and give back to the community. Just search if everyone else can find the themed rom why cant you?

Despite the missing options (which I'm sure will come eventually) I loved it on my thunder bolt. I had to uninstall though as it was raping my already fragile battery.
Looking forward to running it on my xoom though and hopefully my tbolt again if they can make it suck less juice.

Thanks, I will probably reconsider the purchase. Love the bolt but the battery could be better.
Did you guys not install it from the market, or did you just ignore the release notes? It states that tablets aren't supported.
Thats wierd. I see no changes in battery life with SPB launcher on my NexusS running CM7 rom.

I have SPB shell for my DroidX and I can verify that it does not install on my Xoom. I tried side loading and adb install and both times the installation failed. I think the 3D shell would look great on the Xoom but overall, I find the functionality pretty poor compared to the free launchers out there. I bought it on an impulse and I'll keep it in case a tablet version is released but once you start to configure it, it really is lacking in functionality.
It seems to be working on mine...
I didn't install from the market and I will send the apk if you want.
I loaded it on my N1 last night and it promptly quit working after it couldn't find a market purchase, so disable all data before installing the apk. Supposedly the app checks the market every hour until it can confirm a receipt, and I heard there is a command line you can send via adb to disable it from further checking, but I haven't seen it yet.
I heard that it is horrible. Lags and no scrollable widgets?
The widgets worked fine for me, but the graphics sucked ass. It just doesn't flow as smoothly as I wanted. Even SPB MS 3.5 on my Rhodium is smoother!
yeah I just tried the newer version on my zoom and it does work. Not very good though. Wallpaper is horribly pixelated as are the Widgets. Animations aren't smooth and no landscape amongst other issues. Hopefully they release a honeycomb version at some point.
Well let's see if their Tablet UI concept materializes in the not too distant future.
Now this is something I may pay for.

Damn that's awesome. The pinching home screen would be real slick!
It looked slick over a year ago for Android Phones (the one just released) as well and it does not seem to deliver. It is easy to make an animation of what you would like something to be. Not trying to be negative but I have already seen this before with the Android Phones version long ago. I used SPB Mobile shell on Windows Mobile and it was awesome. But I do not think they are getting it with Android.
Thread cleaned up. Please do not advocate or ask for warez, or it will result in an infraction or ban. Thank you,

did anybody got this working on they tablet, i going crazy to get it on my phone there is the tablet option.
SPB on Xoom
I purchased 1.5.1 for my HTC Desire, and, of course, attempted to install on my Xoom. No go. Install worked fine, but wouldn't home switch.
I had, however, previously installed a 1.2.?, and it worked great, until I had to hit home button again, in which case it wouldn't allow me to select SPB as my launcher. I have to say, the outlay was fantastic, along with the eye candy and the overall slickness of it. It was great.
I REALLY hope they mod this for the tablets!
I can't remember how I got this to work but it wasn't easy and it looked lame... has to be default launcher.. prepare for some soft bricks.
Sent from my Full Android on Wingray using xda premium
Yes, it works beautifully. To use it you have to have it on phone first, backup app in astro, and then put the apk on your Xoom. The latest version (1.5.1) works more smoothly than stock.

So long story short my fascinate has turned into a thunderbolt and now I'm wondering if I should return it to get the revolution that comes out tomorrow. I took the thunderbolt right away since my favorite devs are already working on this phone, but it appears that the phone isn't very stable.
I haven't experience random reboots yet even after the phone applied a update right out of the box....I have experience some issues with the 4g staying connected although it seems to fix when I turn on and off the mobile data.
So I've already dealt with a binged phone before since I had the fascinate and that was fixed in the first month, my question is are there any other bolt users thinking the same thing after using the bolt?
My sig says no. sorry. nuh uh. nope.

Google has nothing to do with that, VZW is the reason that Bing is becoming the new search engine for their phones. Why they would do something like that is beyond all of us...
But to answer the OP post, both phones are very much alike. There is a strong dev community for the TB already, where with the LG it's questionable. I haven't read up much about it but I don't know if it comes with a locked bootloader or not. If so, TB all the way, if not, I would say it's all about your personal preference.

There are 500 Million reasons.
According to the Register, Microsoft has paid Verizon Wireless $500 million in a five-year search deal to make Bing its official search engine on most smart phones, like the BlackBerry Storm II.

If you have problems with reboots, try flashing another radio. I did and the reboots stopped.

from what i've seen, a dev community for the revolution has been nonexistent. i can't find one anywhere
Ok, I traded the Thunderbolt for the Revolution. I do not recommend the Revolution at all. First, it takes forever to charge (its about 25% as fast as the thunderbolt to charge). The default keyboard is garbage. It doesn't have the new Android market (uses a version of the market that was updated months ago) and is missing some apps that are normally on the market (in my case, it was missing one that I had paid for). There are some compatibility issues with some apps. It also lags occasionally( often lags when ending a phone call)
The major downfall for the Thunderbolt is its battery life, but that can be fixed with rooting and installing a custom rom. The Thunderbolt is a much better Android than the Revolution. The only thing the Revolution has going for it is that it comes preloaded with Netflix.
I will be trading in the Revolution within the 2 week period and trying out a new Android. Anyone know if Verizon has a limit on how many times you can trade a phone in within 2 weeks before they cut you off. If they don't have a limit, I will keep trading it in until the Bionic finally comes out.
I simply don't understand why anyone would chose the Revo when the Thunderbolt exists. The Charge I could understand for its screen and battery, but the Revo is inferior on almost every spec. It is a phone that was released out of sequence.
So, a friend of mine is upgrading to a new phone and said that she was literally going to run over her DROID 3 with her car because she hated it so much. I convinced her to instead let me give her $10 for it so I could play around with it.
I'm not really new to Android, I have an ATRIX HD and a Nexus 7 both on Jelly Bean. But I've never used any of the android versions before ICS, so I'm a noob in that regard.
Anyway, I'm looking for some cool stuff I could do with it. I won't be using it as a phone, more of as a toy. I've heard somewhere that you can convert old smartphones into security cameras and stuff like that. Doing that would be great because it would let me keep an eye on my dog while I'm at work.
I plan on doing a factory reset as soon as she gives it to me, but I'm open to ideas about what to do after that. I figured I would flash CM or maybe a different ROM.
Please, give me some ideas on what I could do with it! Thanks guys.
Use it of course!! the keyboard is awesome.

Its not a bad phone for free. Basically the stock Motoblur GB ROM is terrible due and it doesn't have much free RAM. If you plan on using the camera flash a stock 2.3.4 based ROM, I'd recommend Minimoto, although stock rooted would probably work fine. It has a good camera 8MP/1080p so it should work great as a remote webcam device.
I'm thinking of using mine like those Android HDMI sticks when I retire it so I can stream Netflix, Youtube, etc from it on my TV.
It makes a good PMP if you ask me. Also the keyboard is good for tweeting and such, (but most of those things call for 3g) but its still a neat little device, could use it as a media player as well.
The Droid 3 is by far the BEST QWERTY out there! it deserves better treatment! I recently bought a brand new one (manufactured in August 2012) and they even changed the hardware a bit! The gap between display and keyboard in the bottom left corner is gone, and the pulling area of the battery door moved from the middle to the edge for better getting off the battery door. Also they used an other display obviously because there are no more vertical stripes visible when the display is turned off.
