He's exactly right... because this subforum is just starting up, everything needs to be in its appropriate section. It will make everthing easier when this starts to pick up and you need to go back and find something. No one who wants to flash a custom rom wants to read questions about apps. So no hatin involved, lets just put stuff in the appropriate spots

yes i understand that but to the op you really didnt help at all thats what i mean im not saying your wrong at all im just saying help the guy even though he posted in the wrong spot and then ask him to move it cause hes in the wrong section thats all
honestly i was going under the assumtion that odin was some program you had to use to flash roms or something along those lines. How would i go about transfering it to the general section?
none of you are helping at all. if you don't have anything helpful at all to contribute then don't say anything at all. saying stuff like this doesn't belong here isn't helpful at all and all it does is clutter the thread. if it needs to be moved then let a mod decide on that.
as for answering the op's question...
Odin is the program you use to flash phones.
'Odin Multi Downloader v3.95.exe' is used to flash the Samsung Galaxy. It's usually included in firmware packs.
Gunman is trying to help... Ppl need to read the rules and follow them before posting... A simple google search would have answered his question.. I already posted a "read before posting" thread.. Its all the way at the bottom bc ppl are posting incorrectly and in the wrong place

when you say firm ware like when you flash new kernals/roms or updating hardware like the radio and such? or do you mean the version of android itself? also do you have to use odin or can you just get a .zip of the firm ware/rom then flash it in recovery mode?
Id say 99.999% of the time no one mods the hardware, the roms are essentially like OS's, and firmware is like a bios, it translates what the rom wants us to do into how the hardware is going to do it.
Yes I realize this is not a perfect analogy, and no offense to the OP, this is just a basic rundown for anyone starting out.

Odin is a tool used for downloading new rom's or software to the phone. you need to put the phone into download mode to get odin to recognize it. Be very careful as to how you use this software, it can brick your phone if you mess up and don't do it right.
I have a themed facebook app, and I want to have the official one to do something since it is a little hard to see things with this theme. The apps are seen to be the same by the phone.
Is there a way I can have both apps installed at the same time? If I renamed the current app would it still work? Or what if I made one a system app?
Come on guys: nobody?
Going to bump this again
I kinda need this answered. Can anyone help?
I think it's time to go looking somewhere else for this. Have you tried the android software general forum? This question isn't specific to the DX. Or you could just TRY it and let us know what happens...

Seeing as I did try it, and said so in the op (how else would I know they are seen as the same app?) I'm not sure where you're going with that. Also, admin or not, posting unhelpful is worse than not posting at all

I thought he was being helpful. If you post this question in the General section for ALL Android apps (again, this is not specific to our phone), there would be a larger group of people viewing the question. And I think when he said to try it, he already knew you tried installing both. But have you tried your own suggestion by renaming or making one a system app?
Not trying to be a smartass, just giving my interpretation on mrkite's post. I hope you find your answer, though!

The system app way still wouldn't work because android would still recognize them as the same app so it would not work

What he said. It sounds like you're about out of options, though...
We have a development section for every carrier, how about one for any carrier.
In my vision this would currently contain all the efforts of trying to make this possible, and in the future, all universal roms(which we will hopefully have).
Also I feel that this would promote development of a way to do this.
For those who make separate threads in every carrier section because they care enough to do so, wouldn't actually have to do so. What a great way to say thanks!!! (and give them more time to develop the rom instead of posting multiple threads.

Bad idea man. IDK how familiar you are to flashing roms and mods, but it sounds like you know that you can't flash a Sprint rom on an AT&T device (Etc etc). That's great and all, but for everyone that knows how to flash the right rom, there are 20 people who have no idea that a bad flash will brick their phone, and those people would be looking at an "all USA carriers" forum picking the coolest looking rom, not even paying attention to warnings.
Heck, take a look at all the "Omg, I bricked my phone flashing an international rom. Halp me!" threads. There's already a problem, and you have to go to a completely section of the forums to find those. Putting them one click away is just asking for hundreds of whiny "I borked my phone" threads. At least until a one mod fits all method is made standard.
So, no. I don't think it's a good idea. In a perfect world, it would be amazing, development from all carriers would get the same attention, and everyone would be happy. However, we've gotta cater to the lowest common denominator right now. Sorry guy.
I take it neither of you read the forums or xda front-page much?

Just sayin, lol.
fine, ill suggest this poll again when there is a way to have universal roms.
Nice to see my article having an impact lol
Frankly, for now, the best way is to keep them separate. ROM devs can always release them in each forum if they want to make ROMs for all 4 carriers (there can't be that many differences).
Even if a universal ROM method was released, I would still vote to keep them separate. ROMs are, by far, the most popular development in the forums, but you've still got kernels, mods, scripts, etc that won't have universal compatibility. Better to keep em separate as to not confuse people (because we all know someone is gonna release something without specifying which version it's for and someone is gonna flash it) and cause problems.
Maybe if there was a way to make everything universal, maybe. As it stands, I'd rather see a ROM dev simply have to copy/paste his ROM thread across 4 sections rather than have to see [T-Mobile][Sprint][AT&T][Verizon] at the beginning of every thread.
My 2 cents
Why don’t we give this a try?
So, finally my nexus 7 will be delivered on Tuesday. I'm neither new to android, nor to the world of nexus (Nexus S), but I don't have any experience with this piece of hardware. My first step will be rooting it, but are there any must-do things? Like on Nexus S Voodoo, NStools, etc. I know, there is no voodoo sound for nexus 7 (sigh...). I consider myself a poweruser, flashing, adb won't frighten me, so pretty much every customization is interesting for me which can give me even better user experience.
Thanks, and I'm very excited to be part of the n7 community!

Might I suggest a ROM? I have had my N7 since July 20 and this is the best I have found.
It has KingBeatZ and flash built in.

I'm using Nova since its beta version, wouldn't use anything else.
When I read 'pimp my rom', i thought you were joking, never even heard of it, but most definitely will try on my Nexus S before the n7 arrives.

Seems interesting, I'm sure that stock ROM won't stay for long, first to try will be this!

I don't understand why does it annoy You. I was looking for some advice to have a nice and easy start with the n7, wasn't posting stupid things to the development section. I thought general section is a good place for it, to spare me few hours of reading, if anyone cares to answer at all. I already got some nice suggestion how to start, and thank you for that.
If this thread hurts anyone in any way, let it closed or moved by a moderator.
Not one nexus s general threads were opened only to say farewell, when they sell their phones to get an other one, i don't see how is my thread any worse than those.
Look at using wugfresh toolkit 1.6.2, its well explained, can view it on YouTube. That will root, unlock and install a great very easy to use recovery image twrp. just a matter of flashing roms/kernels from recovery, easy peasy. Don't forget to take nandroid backups, titaniuim backup for apps backups is the best by far.
Take a look at the following to greatly enhance sound (which is dodgy with stock)

Right there is the problem. No one is paid to be here and no one is here to "spare you a few hours of reading." This is a self-service forum, not a help desk. Drop the entitlement attitude and do your own work. Most everything you need to know is in here, and if it isn't THEN ask. Is that too hard to understand? It's not whether the thread "hurts anyone in any way," it's about not clogging the forum with threads that can be answered by you doing a little work on your own. You said you weren't a noob, so you should know that this is how XDA operates.

I will stop here, and won't answer to that, or it'll never end.
Some did actually help, others shouldn't waste their time answering me. I was politely asking for suggestions, because it's worked that way on nexus s threads. Someone had a question, others answered, even if it was about rooting or flashing, which has been covered million times. If there was a thread about the same problem, we posted the link to there, he got help, moderators closed the thread. I searched and didn't find the right thread to ask my Q, so I opened one. I didn't mean any trouble, and also some people actually answered. I was excited to get my n7, and wanted to know more about it, now I'm discouraged.
R: [Q] First steps with a new Nexus 7
Try multirom! The best n7 development! With it you can use as much ROM as you want, plus linux!
Hello everyone, I would really appreciate if anyone would be able to confirm if there is a way to swap out the current 500GB for a 250GB SSD on my Shield Pro? Is there a way that maybe Clonezilla could be used? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm very interested in this as well. The shield with a 200+ GB SSD would rock

Not duplicate, the quoted article speaks about expanding the internal storage space of the 16GB version and using an SD to offload internal applications and/or games. What I am asking is for the possibility to swap out entirely the 500GB HD and putting in a 250GB (or any capacity SSD) in its place on the pro version. But from what I've read, the system does not pick up ANY HD that is not configured with the system partitions and file system as the original HD. Hence why my question is if anyone know how we could clone the original HD unto another drive.
Would you happen to have any ideas?
Thanks.
Very sorry. I linuked the wrong thread. Had too many pages open. I'll try to find the thread that I was talking about. It's about switching the 16GB version and installing a hard drive. Once they get the connector added to that model, than the steps will be the same. That's still a WIP.

Thank you kind sir. No worries, I am fully aware that my warranty would be void, I've been with Android since the Moto Milestone days and I'm not afraid to play around. I may not have the coding skills, but I am quite obstinate when it comes to getting something to work.
