All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.
Is there currently any simplier way of side loading apps without rooting for the Atrix?
Look up AC_SWM. It worked for me before there was root.

You can try the other solution mentioned, but I prefer Droid Explorer. It has a ton of awesome tools with it as well.
ATRIX Root video added. Check it out in the OP. Or here... http://youtu.be/A_JINF__UKg
I know there is another one and it's great. This is just our version...Enjoy either!
Video added for ATRIX Free Tethering. Check it out in the OP...or here... http://youtu.be/JZi-5MOs7pc
Thanks to Fixter for that fix!
this is so awesome
Great idea for a thread...
Something good to add would be a guide for video conversion...Maybe include free software, best settings, and supported formats...because there seemed to be some confusion going around about that.
It is nice to add all of these videos on how to to things with the Atrix. But the videos that were not perform on the Atrix, have anyone confirm the procedure works for the Atrix. For example the density change is for the captivate, did anyone try this on the Atrix. OP, please cofirm these things before adding to your list.
Thanks,

Hey lovely community !:laugh:
so guys after the "fight" in the [DEV] thread about developing CM 10.x ...
The thread got closed ! So whats now ?
Will shaaaaan or any other DEV's going on working on this or not ?
I hope you get the the things in the right way ... :highfive:
LOVE YOU <3
Let's forget about CM for a while. Shaan from the first time is speaking for his Samsung Galaxy S Advance and he's got some problem too. Even if he success build the CM for his device, we need someone to port it into GS 3 Mini, so we're far from fully workng CM. So let's wait oliver and the other who really concern about our device GS 3 Mini.
Hey!
Sincerly from my opinion that "fight" was really child`ish. I didnt make a backgroung check on Mac and i dont care what he did in the past as long as he can make something viable for our phones. We can all be "condemned" for not folowing the GNU licence agrement at some point. Anyway its bad that we lost a DEV because some ppl have pride. Afaik the licence doesnt obligate anyone to share, it give you the right to share.
PS: English is not my native language so dont flame about my speling mistake.
PS2: This is just my opinion so take it as is.
Really upset to see that the devellopers where almost done with the first operationnelle version and now everything is gone due to personal ego's!
Unfortunatly I do not have developer skills

I respect your opinion, but GNU and GPL clearly state that you HAVE TO SHARE THE SOURCE!

As a matter of fact he did on his webpage, but he removed it because the thread got closed meaning he's stopped the development.
Yes he had pictures with S3 mini booting CM 10 on his website.
Regarding the GNU-GPL licence...well after taking a closer look and reading carefuly i can say I was wrong and u was right. My appologies.
Anyway we could of given him some time .... maibe he whould of shared it. IDK.
Here is the passage from the GNU-GPL licence to make everything clear to everyone :
"When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights."
Best regards.

Well. He isn't new to xda. He should have followed the rules.
As i already said in the thread, i had no problems if he shared the source when he released the rom. But then, there was no use ot the thread!
If he didn't want to share the source before releasing the rom, he shouldn't have had made that thread in the first place. If he did create the thread, it means he was seeking attention.
Also, did he or did he not ask for donation, before even releasing a single build?
I have seen his ways. That's why i resented.
Also, if he is a real dev, such petty things shouldn't stop him from contributing to the community!

hi shaaan....i saw that you are from galaxy s advance (same hardware of galaxy s3 mini).....in this evening i will re-start develop from cm10 and stop kernel develop.....(hope that i don't must work)...tomorrow i have 4 days free and i will spend to develop cm10. As i can see Oliver did a great work so i will start from that sources and every change i will publish on his repository. anyway....can you start doing some modifies with your work? The point is this: maclaw after a first compilation had various things working SO he must did something really simple.....such as changing something in BoardConfig.mk. After searching some i founded that we are missing something in this file for RIL problems that can work for our devices (start from there it is the main problem for now). add these in your boardconfig and see if work ( i am at work now and i can't test )

Introduction
Hey guys. I'm working on an Android application for XDATV. We've never really featured a fully functional application on XDATV before. I thought it was high time we did that.
Noter is a note taking application. It is a good representation of several basic Anrdoid APIs.
source & download
Subversion Repository: http://xda-adk.googlecode.com
Project Checkout: svn checkout http://xda-adk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/EclipseProjects/xdatv-noter
Image of app: http://i50.tinypic.com/qs8ro8.png
App download: https://code.google.com/p/xda-adk/downloads/detail?name=XDATVNoter.apk
goals
Demonstrate proper coding style and development.
Introduce n00bs to app development.
Make an expandable single-class app which will have the ability to integrate into future projects.
Questions and Contributions
If you have a question, please ask. I am in no way, shape, or form an Android app development expert. I do java more than anything else, not so much with Android. If you've got something to contribute, please do! If you spot a problem in the code, then let me know and I'll give you credit on the SVN Commit.
I think this is an awesome idea. Many of the developers here don't know the Android framework but have worked with lots of C based languages, so picking up Java (if we need to) is not that big a deal. Hopefully this will be the kind of thing that we can follow and learn the OS and framework as we go along. I know it's ideal for me, being a 20 years Windows developer.

Yeah! That's the idea. Once the video is released I will publish it in the OP as well. I hope its understandable. If not, that's why we have this thread available.
The onclick view thing is handy:good:
hi adam! In the title of the video you mentioned testing, which i missed a little in the video. what methods or tools do you use for unit testing and stuff?
I'm sorry to clog up this thread with a post about help, but I couldn't find a thread for the series for tutorials Adam released about a year ago.
At around 8:34 in part one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=P...=31cxmLN09ss&feature=player_detailpage#t=513s), Adam adds a button to his test-app thing. It will not let me do this. It shows a no symbol over my cursor when I drag it over the display. I selected the .xml through res and layout just like he did. Only different thing I can tell I am doing is using 4.0 API instead of 2.3.
I have no experience with coding or doing work with Android so I apologize for any common mistakes.

You have to drag it from the bar on the left. There are a set of controls over there which you can select and drag/drop.

Its in /data/data/tv.xda.noter/files/notes.txt You need to be "Noter" or root to access this file.
Nice video, thanks!
Don't forget to close your output stream; probably more dangerous than forgetting to close an input stream if anything's buffered. Also it's maybe stylistic, but I much prefer Reader/Writer for textual data. If you like System.out style, you can do:
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(openFileOutput(FILENAME, Context.MODE_APPEND)));
Really great job Adam. I'm going to watch a second time tint and build the app along with the video, you have some points that are helpful that I hadn't thought of before.
Edit:
Adam, I just watched and built along with the video. What action did you do at 15:24, I can see you did something called Refactor, but I'm not familiar with it. Can you explain what it does and why you did it? Thank you!!!

I just moved some code into methods and changed some names. Refactoring means renaming or moving or a number of other operations. Basically, you clean things up with a refactoring. Refactoring is an operation the IDE does safely so when methods or variables move, all the calls point at the newly refactored method or variable.

Sweet tutorial! Will be using this as starting point for the app I want to develop. Quick issue though. When I first implement the OnClickListener, it has an error with 56 fixes available, the top two being imports. Which one of these do I pick? I see you chose something from a dropdown, but the video sped up and I can't see which one it was.

There are 2 common OnClickListener classes like you say, one of them is probably View.OnClickListener and the other DialogInterface.OnClickListener. Use the View.OnClickListener any time that you are attaching it to a widget in your normal layout. Use the DialogInterface.OnClickListnener any time you have created an AlertDialog and are listening to one of its buttons.
Sweet, thank you! :good:

Hi guys.. first of all i'm new to android dev and this forum. so excuse me for any mistake.. The reason im posting here is i had an idea for an app i always felt need about and couldnt find on play store. I call it iRevise.
Its a simple notes making app for students(yes there are many) but with a change. A homescreen widget with additional features to make it easy and convenient to revise/memorise the study material. am studying myself and so had started this project.. have got it into a decent app as of now for my use but there are many additional features to be added, and due to lack of time/expertise/funds i may never complete them all.. so came up with the idea of opensource. Ive released it under Apache license 2.0 on sourceforge. sourceforge.net/projects/irevise/
Invite you all to come and develop together to make this into a cool app 
Am providing brief info below for anyone intrested..
Description
Well we all sweat trying to learn those nasty chemical formulae, or the weird biological names or maybe some antonyms and synonyms.Whatever it is anything which can make us learn our books better is just a boon. And when it happens automatically, its just amazing. This little appdoes exactly that. Now quickly make your own small notes for things you feel are difficult to learn.Save in the tiny I revise app,and add the widget. And it makes the notes available on your home screen so they cross your eyes every time you unlock your phone. And they get changed automatically so you get them all... Simple huh? Yes but very effective!! And with so many exciting features lined up it could end up as a really awesum tool.. So why waiting, lets code it !!
Features
Quick Revision Tool For students
Supports android 2.3+
Homescreen Widget (Auto Updating)
Backup/Restore Notes (to be added )
Share Notes (to be added)
Study Circle (to Be added)
Inviting everyone to work on the features mentioned and any extras which may be useful.. Also haven't been able to publish on play store as my old account was suspended by google(dunno why) and i dont have an additional card.. so apk also available there only...
So as you guys mustbe knowing by now am a newbie, and so if anyone finds the project intresting and wants to donate for its development, ure most welcome Even if uve an empty google play account and are ok with donating it for the purpose u're most welcome .
Finally everyone pls download the app and review it wirh any ideas which will encourage to continue this further..
