It's great having lots of manufacturer provided applications in the ROM of your mobile device, but what happens if one of them breaks? It's not as easy as just contacting the developer for an updated version is it!
This is exactly the problem being faced by users of 'HTC Peep', the Twitter client on the HTC Hero.
Last night, the unique id number assigned to each Tweet exceeded 4,294,967,295, in an event we covered as 'Twitpocalyse II'. This is the highest number that can be stored in an unsigned 32 bit integer. If the developer of a Twitter client uses this method to store the Tweet ID, then unexpected things will happen. Hence, since this occured, Peep users have been unable to use the application, instead being greeted by the error message above (after which the application either closes or refuses to load new tweets).
We have contacted HTC to ask how long Hero users should expect to wait for a fix, but if you are affected, it might be time to try out Twidroid, Twitterride or perhaps Swift!
UPDATE: HTC have responded to this issue. They have said "Thanks for helping to make us aware of the details of this problem. We have are investigating the issue and are working with Twitter on a solution. We apologize to our users for any inconvenience this has caused."
We'll bring you more information as it comes in.

Well, after looking for an not finding what I wanted...I just decided to build it.
#1 - place to compare ROMs and Kitchens..with filter and sorting.
#2 - place to keep track of my own personal ROIM experiences
#3 - place to keep track of cabs I load (how many cabs do you have on your storage card you have no idea what it is)
So I built up this Sharepoint site and gave a bunch of Cookers rights to post their stuff.
I would LOVE it if I could get some Coders to post their stuff too. It's really pretty easy. And since it's not really an interactive sight...you only have to do it once...you don't have to monitor it continuously.
So, now I'm going to the public.
Here are some screenshots of the basic idea

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here are some of the cool stuff you can do with lists:
filter By Carrier
Filter By system
here's where users can track their experiences with different ROMs and Kitchens
Here they can track stuff on different Programs and Cab and such.
So....after all that...
The site is located at : http://sp.textultant.com/Mobility
The URL will redirect you there : http://TheMobilityExperts.com
Please understand that adding users is not automatic and somewhat cumbersome....I will try to process requests as soon as I can...but I just want to set expectations...It may by 24 hours or more in some cases. since I'm the only Admin right now.
Hope you like it...There's a survey out there on the site to let me know what you think.
EVERYONE can View...
there are instructions on the site for how to Join and Use
Here goes..........................
CHEERS!

Android Market gets a web store with OTA installations, in-app purchases coming soon

Google's Android Market now has a web client. Finally! And guess what else, it's already live. Hit the source link below to get exploring. It's very simple, really, you can browse the entire Market catalog on your desktop or however else you're accessing the web, you can purchase anything that takes your fancy, and then -- via the magic of over-the-air transfers -- it downloads and installs onto your Android handset. A neat My Market Account section will let you nickname your registered devices to make them more recognizable as well.
Google has also just announced that Android will soon support in-app purchases. Widespread developer interest has been cited as the major reason for doing it, so you've got those lovable coders to thank for the oncoming wave of micropayments you'll have to deal with in your Android apps. The in-app purchasing SDK is releasing to devs today and will be "live to users prior to the end of this quarter."
Update: Invalid request. Yep, that's the message we keep getting when we try and download an app. Google promises that it should be working soon...
Update 2: And now it appears to be working!

What do you work for Engadget or something? All you're doing is copy/pasting their stuff.
Last week called, it wants it's announcement back.

[Q] [BUG] honeysmartdroid window

Hello,
I found a bug in the (honeysmartdroid rom) and since I can't post it in the development thread (because of less than 10 posts) I'm posting it here hoping someone can help me.
The problem is this, when I want to use my banks app I have to fill in my card number by spinning wheels, but the window is to small in the rom so can't enter the last number.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This also occurs with the date of birth, there also the last number is missing (you only see 199 and 198 etc.) but there I can spin it and guess wich 199 year i'm at.
So my question is:
Does someone know an easy way to fix this?
and if this isn't in the right place how do I get it there?
First of all, if you posted anywhere else but here or even better, Q&A, the thread would be closed.
As for your problem, to me it looks like a resize problem. Best thing you can do is message memnoc, attach those images and wait.
And yes, there is an easy fix for that. Flash another ROM.
EDIT: And frankly it isn't that hard to guess which year it is. If the last one 198 and the one above is 199, it's only reasonable to conclude that its 1989 and 1990. So from there I think it should be more then easy.
thanks, I wil send a message to memnoc. And like I said the problem was with entering bij bank card number (ends with 3 numbers and I can only enter 2), not with the year. That was just extra as an example.

Trying to enable FULL Multiple User Support on G2 (not to be confused with GuestMode)

Hello everyone, I bring you this topic knowing that our G2s have some sort of crippled multi-user functionality.
But I was used to use the full multi-user support on my Galaxy Note since 4.2.2 (or any other Android with 4.2.2) which differs from LGs by a mile.
LGs implementation is limited to show only the apps you allow without means of changing wallpaper, pulling down the notification shade, etc. Android 4.2.2 can handle more than what LG gave us, like having a totally new and independent full session, including Sync accounts and apps which I found very convenient.
However when I tried the procedure described here it errors out for some reason with a "couldn't create user" error.
But when you get into the System Settings you get to see the new option "Users and Restrictions"
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you go there you'll see:
If you click Add User:
If you click OK:
Obviously that's because of the error I got inside Terminal. I also disabled LG's Guest Mode in case it had something to do with it but it was a no go.
I'll try some other methods and keep you posted. Any ideas are welcome.
Cheers!
this is neat, @Rayan are you already has the fix?
Nope, unfortunately I have not found a solution yet.
I have tried all methods available but no solution yet.
