    Root rooting 2.1 ROMS

    I'm rooted, and swap roms, backup everything pretty confidently (thanks again to Joe for helping me get in the pool). But there are some things I don't understand. I really want to go to a 2.1 ROM. I've tried a few with verying degrees of happyness, and some of the later ones I've tried just...

    Beast or Smoked.....Smoked Beast?

    Anybody have a strong opinion one way or the other as far as the latest versions of Smoked Glass and Bugless Beast? I've been running Beast for about a week now and have no complaints (besides not for the life of me getting Wireless tether to work), but it looks like Adamz and Pete are both...

    Beauty or the Beast

    So with Joe's help I'm rooted and trying out different Roms, things are easier to do than I thought they would be pre-root as most of the developers are awsome with their instructions. It does however take me some time to swap roms, and when I find something I like re-setting up my whole phone...

    2600 fix

    I can't believe nobody has put together an Atari 2600 emulator yet. Those simple old school games would be awsome on our beloved platform, and a huge money-maker for whomever would build the emulator. Wish that nesoid guy would get on that, he emulators are far and away the best of the best.

    Bettercut expert please

    This question has been asked but never answered elseware in the forums. Does anyone know how to creat just a simple folder with a custom Icon in better cut? It must be possible, but for the life of me i've no clue how to do it. On a related question I think I found a way to browse to an icon...

    Jan 22nd 2.1 update

    Hey all, I was scouring youtube last night just drooling over the live wallpapers and one of the posters (shouldv taken notes) said that the droid 2.1 update was coming on the 22nd, just a few short days away. He said it very offhand and didn't note a source, but it was a review site and not...

    2 missing widgets.

    Hey all, looking for 2 widgets/apps, any help you could offer would make you my new best freind forever and ever. Both of these are native to the GDE home replacement app, and although I like GDE quite a lot, there are a few things about home++ that made me switch, but it's really making me...

    lots 'o' electronic toys

    Greetings all. I, believe it or not, am somewhat of a geek. (Please, please, do not be shocked). And as such i have a proud collection of small electronic gizmos that I like to carry around with me pretty much wherever I go. In the extremely off chance that maybe a few other patrons of...

    Has anybody used this or something similar

    Looking to put a little more protection on the phone and give it a bit of style at the same time. I like the idea of some of the snap on covers, but don't want to add a lot of bulk. Making the phone a bit bigger is fine, but creating a huge recess to the touchscreen is no good. I found this...

    Advanced graphics games

    So far the best games come in the form of emulators out there. I was having a pissing contest with an iphone owning freind of mine when we came to games. He showed me the wing-commader-esqu game with on-screen controls and incredibly good graphics. I just haven't seen anything like this...

    To Root or not to root

    Going through a bit of an internal conflict here, and I'm just looking for a little bit of advice. I am not a moron. I believe that I am completely capable with all of the step by step posts out there of successfully rooting my phone (a moto droid). However, I am also not by any stretch of...

    Removing a secondary gmail account

    Hey all, I have two gmail accounts on my droid, but since adding the second one, notifications don't work properly. The second was really just for conveniance sake of checking the account of a activity club I belong to, but I don't need it if it means not getting the notifications for the my...

    Notification bar skinning

    Hey all, For the GDE theme that I favor, ENOCH2, the screenshots show a dark notification bar. This is something that I would very much like to do, but can't find a setting anywhere that will let me change it from the normal white color scheme. Anybody know if this is possible, or if the...

    Non-phone android gadgets

    Hey everybody. I got my android phone (moto droid) a couple of weeks ago and I have to say that I love the android os. It's intuitive enough that I can always find what I want, but techy enough that I don't feel limited or chained to somebody else's idea of what I should be doing *cough* apple...

    Animated Wallpaper/theme?

    Hey all, waiting for my droid to come tomorrow or Tuesday (stupid verizon online "help", should have arrive saturday) Anyway, coming over from a LG dare, and the only semblance of customizability that phone had as far as it's appearance came in the form of being able to use animated gifs as...
