    Root I'm still alive here

    And even though I seriously doubt we'll see new developments, I am updating my threads. Check them out, Triumph or no Triumph. I got a special build of AdAway that may work better on KitKat. It fixed the hanging for me. Also, guess what still boots and fully works? Yep, my personal piece of...

    Root PSA - Anyone using the Triumph should get off Froyo

    Google Play Services, which power all the Google services from any Play whatever app to Gmail, YouTube, and Maps have dropped Froyo support starting with version 4.0. Those of you still holding down the fort on Froyo should upgrade to Gingerbread in the form of MTDEV CM7. Although MTDEV has...

    Root Xposed Framework Backported to GingerBread

    Gotta love the community in open source projects, here, XDA, and anywhere else! Anyhow although I like to stick around here and recommend this site highly, take a look at this guys: Xposed Framework Backported to Gingerbread – xda-developers I doubt this device is ever going to fully run...

    The Actually Useful Sale Thread

    I would put this in the classifieds, and that would make much more sense, but I don't think many of you guys would find it there. So I'm putting this here. You guys need extra space? Sad thing about my Nexus 4 is that it cannot take an SD card. But I was browsing Android news today, and Amazon...

    Root [DEV] [UPDATE] More and more security holes to fix - Now the Triumph Security Thread

    Google patches critical Android threat as working exploit is unleashed | Ars Technica The security hole is of course blown out of proportion by the iDevice-loving media, but we do have to address this issue. I've touched base with dsmryder on this exploit. That was yesterday. Unfortunately...

    Root [App] Fixed VM Minutes Checker - Link

    I found this buried on XDA. The one on the Play Store is out of date and buggy. Not only is this version fixed, but it also supports multiple accounts! Figure I'd share this find with you guys since the last time I tried the Play Store version it was next to unusable. Why repost something from...

    Root [SOFTWARE] F-Droid v0.58, AdAway 2.8 plus special AdAway for KitKat, and FeedEx v1.5.1

    Don't worry, F-Droid is an open source app store and all the apps inside are only shown if they are open source as well. This app store is not a pirate market like so many other alternative app stores. Well, they done it again. :( AdAway, Adfree, etc. have all been pulled for violating Play...

    Root Bad News - Google Reader Getting Discontinued

    The title says it all - now is the time to search for an alternative! Be sure to export your data from Google Reader. I use Liferea on Linux and RSSOwl on Windows. This doesn't exactly pertain to the Triumph, but I figured since Google is essentially killing something hugely popular, I should at...

    Root Superuser - an open source, fully featured su implementation

    Flashable zips are available. I found it here. It is made by Koush and is completely open source! That is not only good from a security standpoint, as a superuser script and management tool should be open source (imagine what proprietary software could do if in the wrong hands in terms of...

    Root MTDEV Will Live On!

    Well, it seems like I am a lot of talk and no show. I am learning C currently. I will not be a professional (that takes a lifetime of coding). I do not yet know C++. But I am learning the basics. I am fortunate enough to get a good college education (my community college actually has some...

    Root Uploading for MTDEV - Some good sites

    All, In my experience with uploading files to share with you guys (our testing ROMs, APKs, FAQs, etc.) I have noticed that certain sites like Dropbox tend to encourage personal use. That is, they seem to offer little bandwidth and little space, but incredible ease of use and good sync. However...

    Root Why I haven't been around here in several days

    Somehow, I managed to get bronchitis. It sucks. Besides just sucking, it also managed to drain my energy away. I took antibiotics and I am no longer sick all that bad, but I feel pretty weak from the virus. Weak enough that with next semester starting in two weeks or so, being tech support has...

    Root Slow Android Emulator

    Why is the Android SDK so darn slow? Is it that my rig sucks for using developer tools (especially since that emulator is practically translating ARM to x86_64, or is it something else? Any way I can speed things up. By the way, thanks dsmryder for getting me this far! :)

    Root FAQ Assistance Needed - I Need some compatibility testers!

    All, So as to make our FAQ even more useful, I have included a little something I like to call the Triumph compatibility center. I need to know things that won't work on CM7 due to any of the following mentioned reasons. This includes CM7 limitations (Things like Wallet won't work because our...

    Root FAQ Updates (Rapid Release) - MTDEV CM7 v3.0 (Preview - Beta 2 "Everything But Screenshots")

    To the community and MTDEV, Our FAQs are a collaborative work. I will be working primarily on them since I have plenty of time currently, so expect one to pop up for MTDEV CM9 and maybe MIUI or sharp even one day. Anyone who's good with designing stuff, feel free to comment and once I know there...

    Root MTDEV 2013 Planning

    I figure we should at least remain open to the community of what is planned for the Triumph for the next year. Here is what I see panning out, along with some suggestions for the next year. These are just predictions. Feel free to comment and add your own ideas of what to do. This applies...

    Root MTDEV Must take a break for the holidays

    If any of you guys are reading this - now is the time for spending time with family, going places, and relaxing and exchanging gifts. No work should be done from now until at least the day after Christmas. Take off until January if you want. Now, if you see someone who thinks they've bricked...

    Root More Camera Hope

    Although I have switched to the Nexus 4, I have still stuck around the forums. And while Googling the other day, I believe I have found some positive news for anyone with CM9 on the Triumph. http://androidcommunity.com/hp-touchpad-gets-a-working-camera-with-latest-cyanogenmod-builds-20121213/...

    Leaving the Triumph - but fear not!

    I will be selling my Triumph and Optimus V so I can get the Nexus 4. Goodbye crappy VM service, hello new crappy service! Still, I am not dumping you guys. I may keep the Triumph for some months and I will at least update my FAQ and continue to provide assistance before I leave. Like with g60...

    Root PSA: Triumph Development is still alive

    Just because g60 has a new phone does not mean MTDEV has thrown in the towel. In fact, he is honing his skills and may return one day as a dev! Chairshot is the new King of the castle. Since flaming was going off yesterday (even I was upset), I will reassure the community that we still have a...

    Root MTDEV Please Read - Dev phones are available!

    Well, a bunch of people are jumping ship and are kind enough to offer phones to our cause. This is good news since dsmryder's dev phone bricked itself, and madman can't really get camera assistance from Dorregaray without him getting a dev phone himself. Please MTDEV, don't give up now. I don't...

    Root Google Now Guide - WIP

    Once I flash back to my old recovery and do a backup, I will flash fresh and attempt to load up Google Now on the latest MTDEV-CM9 build. I have an offline installer that can go to Mediafire and Dropbox, so you guys have a version of Google Now I know that works. Since there have been so...

    Root [SOFTWARE] Fresh Chrome Build - Possibly Less Crashing!

    Well, after doing a bit of research, I found an updated build of Google Chrome for Android floating around here. Make sure you download it from the site, as it has not yet been uploaded to the Play Store. However, this is no leak. It is simply a bugfix update with performance improvements. I...

    Root GPS Issues - no dice on GPS tweaks

    I wish to see if you guys can assist me into pinpointing the issues with GPS that I'm having. I'm running g60's latest MTDEV CM9, and the issue is that when in Google Maps, my location keeps jumping around to locations a mile or two away in town. This does not happen when Wifi is used - it's...
