HD2 Transformers Movie

Hello, I accidently deleted the Transformers movie off my storage card when I formatted it. Can someone upload it on here for me. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

that question has been posted so many times on here, pcgeeks, and tmobiles forums, nobody has been able to zip up the contents and upload it somewhere unfortunately
if i hadnt done the same thing i would gladly do it.
i have heard others say to go to a tmobile store and bring a laptop to transfer the files, but not sure if that works.
also, others have suggested calling HTC and see if they can send you a replacement card, but they may charge you like $70.

i still have it but im not sure about posting those videos online. idk if its considered piracy since our devices came with the movie. if its okay i'll make a torrent of those two movies.
mods is it okay to post or is it considered piracy?

Its piracy if someone other than an owner of the t-mobile HD2 were to download it but you should make the file pass protected and post it on this thread or something so as to cut down on piracy.

Well I actually own the phone though, I never even got to see all of it! Could someone make it password protected for only me to download? I asked HTC (they respond within a few hours) and said that I would need to contact t-mobile.

do u have a torrent client? i could post em up by torrent and seed just for you.
i might as well upload on megaupload but that may take forever.

pretty sure it piracy and just by xda-developers keeping this thread open is open to them getting in trouble. I would suggest PMing if you guys wish to keep this conversation open.

Yes I also need a Magnet link in My PM for a Torrent backup of the missing movies, I bought mine on craigslist today from a young Vietnamese kid who said the phone was too big, sdCard was formatted already, but got it for $300 bucks cannot complain!!!!
Still would like the transformer films

still open for people who'd like to help us!

......bump!

Let me try and be as clear as possible about this:
It is illegal for anyone to post a copy of those movies online. In any form.
The problem isn't whether or not you have the right to watch or download the movie.
The problem is that only the copyright holders of the movies have the right to control the distribution of their content. The copyright holders did grant the rights to distribute the movie to the new owners of an HD2 strictly to T-Mobile and under very specific circumstances.
Not you, not I, not even T-Mobile can give you a new copy of these movies legally. Any promises otherwise are made either in ignorance of the law or in direct violation of it.
You can own 20 DVD copies of these movies, bought direct from the producer and you still do not have the legal right to distribute them to other people. You do not even have the right to download them from someone else, if that person does not have written permission from the copyright-holder(s).
It is not about who owns what, it's about who has the right to distribute it and how.
T-Mobile does not own the right to distribute the movies. They have leased the option to distribute them via very specific circumstances. If they offered these movies to their customers via any other method, without leasing the right to do so, they could and would be sued.
Please do not post links to or offer to post links to any copyrighted material on this website.

a similar request
I got rid of the movies when I reformatted my disk. I still have the transfomers icon though. When i tap it says the movies are not able to be found.' Thats fine. However, i would like to map the icon to a file on my disk called movies" and have them show up. Does anyone know the registry chain that will allow me to do this?
Thanks.

You can't others have already tried, there is a whole thread about this very issue.
As for people who have formatted their cards there are two outcomes. One if you do not have a tmobile store near you, you're SOL and won't be able to get the movies back.
The other option is go into your local T-mobile store and see if they have any HD2s in returns and see if they are willing to trade SD Cards with you. Back up all your stuff on your original card first before going into the store. If they swap the card for you then go home and copy the movies to your computer for backup. That way if you delete them again for some reason they are saved on your computer. Just copy them back to your SDCard in this file order: Sdcard->Transformers->Movie Files.

just go download the movie, convert to mp4 format and change the file name to match the program... i

Agree with Snarksneeze.
@froggylover1345,
What you are requesting is pirated material (whether you owned the movie or not). It is against forum rules to request any kind of copyrighted material unless it is explicitly written by the author of such that it is ok to share it (and something tells me that Michael Bay hasn't told any of us that it could be done).
Having said this,
a. Don't request this kind of material (against it is against forum rules)... consider this a "friendly warning".
b. I am closing this thread before someone does get a chance to upload the movie in here...

Need help building an app for mp3 downloading via database

Before I begin, I will say that I'm not a developer, nor will I ever claim to be. That said, I have a fantastic idea for an app and would love to see it become a reality. I'm looking to build an app similar in many ways to Zedge, or other ringtone/mp3 apps. I need an app that will be able to connect to a database or mp3 files that can be updated without actually updating the app. Basically, once the app itself is built, I'd rather not have to change it.
The ultimate goal is to create an app that handles music files such as mp3's, and allow the user to browse by artist, genre, or song title, then listen, download, or share their selections. I'd also love to integrate a feature that would allow users to set their downloaded files as a ringtone/notification within the app, similar to Zedge.
I do understand that their are a million ringtone/mp3 apps out there, but I assure you, the developer community that my idea is totally unique. I don't have the knowledge to build the app itself, but I do have all the graphics for the app and I am a music editor by trade. If someone would like to help out on this project, or atleast point me in the right direct, I would be grateful.
Thank you.

Mass effect is a paid app. Asking for help about getting it for free is considered warez and against xda rules: 6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez and nor do we permit any member to request, promote or describe ways in which warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained.

Warning: Android File-Encrypting, TOR-enabled Ransomware

For the community's information, I feel I need to create this thread to warn others:
Global IT security leader, ESET today announced that its engineers have spotted the first instance of a file-encrypting ransomware for Android. Once it has successfully infected a devices, this Android trojan scans the SD card for certain file types, encrypts them, and demands a ransom in order to decrypt the files.
After launch, the trojan displays a ransom message and encrypt files in a separate thread in the background. The ransom message is written in Russian and the payment is demanded in Ukrainian hryvnias. The message roughly translates to:
WARNING your phone is locked!
The device is locked for viewing and distribution child pornography, zoophilia and other perversions.
To unlock you need to pay 260 UAH.
1. Locate the nearest payment kiosk.
2. Select MoneXy
3. Enter {REDACTED}.
4. Make deposit of 260 Hryvnia, and then press pay.
Do not forget to take a receipt!
After payment your device will be unlocked within 24 hours.
In case of no PAYMENT YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA ON your device!"
The malware directs the victim to pay using the MoneXy service as it is not as easily traceable as using a regular credit card.
Android/Simplocker.A will scan the SD card for files with any of the following image, document or video extensions: jpeg, jpg, png, bmp, gif, pdf, doc, docx, txt, avi, mkv, 3gp, mp4 and encrypt them using AES. It will also contact its Command & Control server and send identifiable information from the device like its IMEI.
The sample analyzed by ESET is in the form of an application called ‘Sex xionix’. It was not found on the official Google Play store and the company estimates that its prevalence is low at this time but believes that this is most likely a proof-of-concept or a work in progress.
In light of such advanced malware, Pradeesh VS, General Manager at ESET Midlde East provided the following advice to Android Users, “We encourage users to protect themselves against these threats by prevention- by using mobile security solutions such as ESET Mobile Security for Android- and adhering to best security practices, such as keeping away from untrustworthy apps and app sources. If they are unfortunate to already be infected, they should recover the files from a backup. Because when you have a backup, then any Filecoder trojan- be it on Android, Windows, or any operating system- is nothing more than just a nuisance.”

Happy I don't keep anything on my phone seeing I'm always flashing,but this is good to know. Thanks for the info

Something similar has been effecting iPhones for a couple of weeks. Just be careful what apks you install.

Shouldn't the Verify Apps option in Android protect you from these things? That's basically the point of that option.

Perhaps good news.

Doesnt Verify Apps just check apps on the Play Market? If so this would not work as article states its not found in the Market..
Also, ESET is reporting this and also suggesting users use there virus software lol.. Shamless plug to get the work of their own software out there, self promoting, maybe they have a vested interest..

No I think Verify Apps was supposed to check only non play store apps. That's why the first time you install an app from a file manager or something it'll ask you to allow Verify Apps to check app security.

Alternatives to Google Play Store

I'd like to try setting up my N9005 without Play Store and Google Play Services. Part of the reason is the battery use by Google Apps of various types and the other is the necessity of allowing those apps access to dial the phone, send SMS etc.
I'd like to see if I can make my phone more efficient AND more secure.
So far I'm looking at getjar.com, androidtapp.com and appbrain.com. Which app sites do you use and is it reasonable to find one that provides apps that don't use Google Play functions?
Suggestions welcome and experiences on any alternative sites would be appreciated? Also opinions or experiences in getting rid of the google connection...
I'm currently running @temasek 's cm13 - v 3.5 (more properly @joshndroid 's cm13 now he is building it )

I tried once

I once tried to use my Nexus 7 without Gapps. and then my Livescore app said it needed GPServices. again a shopping app said it needed GPS to run. then I installed Gapps :|

So we're stuck with Google unless we reduce functionality way down?
Hm... I recall seeing a CM Apps option a while back and I am running AOSP on my N9005 - will have a look for it. Thanks for the Reply.

the best thing would be installing Pico or Nano version of GApps. Only Play store, Play Services and Contact Sync come with it.

While that sounds good, those are pretty much exactly the apps that crash the phone if you try to interfere with call/SMS permissions. What I am trying to find out is if it is possible to have a functional and useful phone WITHOUT having Google privy to everything I do.
Just because I am paranoid doesn't mean they're not after me.
You may or may not be interested in this talk by Snowden - think it's about halfway through where he discusses how the various companies have peeled away security for the alphabet agencies.

It's possible, but it'll depend on your definition of "functional".
I run my phone without gapps, and have calendar and contacts sync with my own server. I use syncthing for file sync, and open source for almost everything (Skype being one exception).
So for me it's fully functional, and the battery life is great. YMMV.

Without GApps where do you get your apps? I've been touring sites trying to find a decent one and also discovering apps to replace those with Google links. The issue currently seems to be many good apps still tie back into Play for updates or verification purposes.
For example I have SPenCommand from a Google+ site but updates can usually be manual - i.e. I could DL them on PC and copy them over. The problem would be needing to have a link to the site (I think) to licence check. But that's something I can ask the Dev about.
That sounds pretty close to what I need. Phone, Contacts, Calendar, preferably syncing to Outlook on PC but given I am also thinking of moving to Linux, not wedded to Outlook or MS Products, nor I guess even to live syncing. I WOULD like to have backups in case phone goes away suddenly, but I can learn to use Cloud - something I have been avoiding.
I like playing with ROMs and have just started a course in App development online - my thought was to set up a dual boot with a standard GApps setup for testing as well as an unlinked one for daily driver.

Been looking at Aptoide as a store that maybe i can use without a Google account. Seems to have quite a few categories of apps so i am currently trying to work out what I need versus what I want on my phone. I currently have quite a few apps that i haven't touched in months so I figure they are probably not needed.
Any suggestions on what you consider a must have app or app category?

One possible alternative to play store is Blackmarket. It works great and it has almost all the apps present in the play store. And its best feature is that it provides paid apps for free

Oops sorry i forgot about that. My bad. I will remember it now.

Hi.
I'm testing now the following approach.
With Titanium Backup I froze Google Play (not for Google Play Services because I'm testing) and use Aptoide and Uptodown apps to updating.
My issue is Google Play is ALWAYS changing its configs which I've set to "not update automatically" and lots of warnings on screen telling me Google Play or Play Services stopped working.
Also I'm testing whether other apps also stop working.
Aptoide and Uptodown apps obey much better and don't change its configs.
Am I right that all these stuff are related to Google Play, soon I'll be able to return here with a more affirmative answer.

Why i can't post my question on the main menu? Is cause i don't have the upgrade?

What has your post got to do with this message regarding warez ??
