| ![]() Read somewhere "If You're Not Paying for It; You're the Product". There are real people sitting and developing the apps and no it's not for charity :-). It's scary the kind of info people share online and the kind of analytical capabilities the companies have. It's just the sheer volume that makes it less personal. |

| ![]() Buy the paid versions of apps. I know people will recommend Ad blockers but that isn't fair to the developer.Development is not an easy task and by blocking ads you're blocking the App creators revenue.If you don't want the Ads or feel that they are a privacy breach just go for the paid non-ad version |

That's what i'm trying to say, I can replace those animation files but the replaced animation files have to be in .png format instead if a .avi or .dat or another video format. That ideally means I will hasn't to break a movie file into .png's format which is a painful job and also will have to separately extract the sound. | |

Same thing I am saying. A "news" slamming android cites a work involving microsoft staff is unusable as per me. Secondly, there are ad supported softwares on all platforms including iPhone. So I think that report applies to almost all platforms. Its stupid to hold it against Android only. | |

| ![]() Android is not exactly a open source like linux at least. If they are truly open source why cant google just release its code used in Nexus and let the developers do their own digging. Samsung is one of the worst players to ever waste time with source code. ICS is still not available for S2 and Note. Windows phones picking up in sales and Iphone 4s has his own niche set of buyers. Personally i am not really happy with the delay of ICS in India. All for the bloatware to be added over the base ICS from google. |

GT-S5570XXKPF.rar extract files to a folder.(password: samfirmware.com ) open ODIN multiloader 4.38 from the downloaded folder and make sure the phone is detected which is shown by the yellow COM port. place files as shown below. make sure only AUTO REBOOT and PROTECT OPS boxes are only ticked!!

But are you sure that only .png is the format for the boot animations? .Gif should do too and creating a GIF is easier and you will have to load the sound files separately of course. To be very frank, I do not have any solution for you, I am just thinking out aloud. | |

| ![]() Need help guys... I am thinking about buying a phone, couple of the ones I liked are listed below. Please suggest/recommend, primary usuage is internet/photos/email/games ![]() 1. Motorazr - I liked this phone however I believe the upgraded version i.e. Motorazr Maxx is going to launch soon (as rumoured). 2. HTC Sensation XE with beat audio - Liked this one too, is packed however the front facing camera is mere 0.3 mpl. 3. Samsung Galaxy SII - This is a market player currently but somehow I liek the Motorazr more as its a lil different in looks and appeal and not soo common. 4. iPhone 4s - now this is something very different, but yeah I liked it and have used it exentisely i.e. 4s aswell as the 4. I am totally confused which ones to pick up. Please help. |

![]() I wouldnt buy an iphone unless they price it at sane levels. Its massively overpriced, overhyped and frankly not_worth_it product. Others might have different opinion but spending 45k on a 3.5 inch screen phone is just foolishness. If you can wait a bit (read a few months), you will have much better choice of phones to pick from. HTC One series, Galaxy S3 etc or even the Google Nexus. I wonder why it is not yet launched in India? Last edited by joslicx : 21st March 2012 at 14:04. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Guys, anyone here using the Motorola Atrix 2 ? My galaxy ace has become annoyingly slow these days and i'm seriously considering the Moto for the dual core and the pretty decent price. |
