    Root peculiar themes...

    I am fairly surprised that in all the themes that I have heard of that they are always sort of off-the-wall or random without necessarily any real guiding vision. It seems there would be a bunch of really cool themes that are artistically consistent within themselves, or that carry a true...

    Root Phone is reading my mind...refusing recovery...

    Hey fellows, running a D1, rooted on BB0.4 and the provided kernel. I have set CPU set at 800 and drops to (I think) 150 with the screen off. I have been frustrated with the battery life so I thought I would try a new kernel. Here is the amusing part. I just went to RM and downloaded several...

    Sendspace--is this cool or what?

    I was just looking at this on Appbrain-- SendSpace - Android app on AppBrain I just installed it so I haven't tried it yet, but does it seem as cool to everyone else as it does to me? I think it sounds more convenient then my Wifi Explorer that I have currently...maybe replaces...

    Candy Apple Apple IIe Emulator--Sweet!

    If you are 40+ and were a geek way back when you will be stoked with this Apple IIe emulator App I just found yesterday. I got it without high expectations, and at first, playing with the included games I was only feeling so-so about it. Then I found a site (Asimovs) that has damn near all...

    iTunes App Jam11...anyone try it?

    Is anyone trying this App out? It sounds like a kickin solution for those of us that have a ton of m4p songs in iTunes (or just a bazzilion gb of songs) but I want to hear from people that are actually using this before I go through it. If possible... Anyone? Liberate your iTunes...

    Jam11 Experiences? iTunes solution

    I just saw this being discussed a little in the Droid subforum. Has anyone else tried Jam11 yet? For those of us that have a bazillion dollars tied up in DRM iTunes locked-down music this is potentially a bloody godsend. I am running a Droid 1 and I am probably going to be a guinea pig...

    Voicemail says from 1969...?!

    It seems like I have heard a few people mentioning the year 1969 when the Droid does something weird. I just got my first 1969 moment. Up on the top bar it shows I have a voicemail. When I flip that down to look it says the voice mail is from 12/31/1969. I think it was from maybe a week or...

    Goto Lockscreen update--woot!

    For the last month or so I have been running GOTO for my lockscreen and I really like it a ton....except for one thing. Some people were complaining that pushing the "home" button could bypass your lock pattern etc.. but I found if my setting were all set correctly on my Mot Droid 1 that it...

    Unified Remote App

    Anyone using Unified Remote? I have it on my Droid and the "server" portion on my laptop and I must say it is incredibly nifty. What I am finding intriguing is the explorer portion of it where I can sift through my computer files. I cannot view or open anything *on my phone* but I can, for...

    I did read the sticky on posting here and I THINK this is okay to post here...if not, mods, I am sure I will relocated. I am trying to select my first ROM and my priorities are: 1. Stability/bug free 2. Long battery life 3. Wifi tethering I would like to have speed at least...

    Root Rooting today--wifi tether...ROMS?

    Finally going to make the root leap on my D1 today. I have some pretty specific and limited needs and I have been reading EVERYTHING on rooting for the last two weeks and still don't have a clear idea on a few tidbits. Here is what I hope to achieve by rooting: 1. Wireless wifi tether...

    External antenna/booster etc...

    I saw a few tantalizing threads (mostly months ago) about an external antenna for the Droid. My lady and I both run Droids and her house is out in BFE where we have to stand in one particular spot to get an SMS message, listen to voicemail or (sometimes) make a call if we are lucky. I thought...

    Dead Droid and feeling silly....

    Just thought I would share an interesting experience since I was reading a bazillion threads on here for guidance throughout my recent drama. For starters, have been using Smartphones damn near as long as they have existed. I had 3 Treo 650's (which is still a way under rated device in my...

    privacy/secret code/encryption APP

    I started a thread a couple weeks ago looking for a good encryption App so I can send truly private text messages on my Droid. I got one suggestion for an encryption App that I couldn't find on the market. I found a web solution that I think won't really work for text messages (just too bloody...

    Is there an App for encrypting text mssgs?

    The last week or so I have been thinking about how to send and receive text messages that employers/parents can't read (obviously text messages are stored for a long time on your provider's server). Is there a clean app for easily encrypting text messages? I bet my boss had a pretty good...
