Ok, this ain't really a developpement post [sorry for that!] but I'm sure that, like for me, it will makes you real glad to be an Android user.
I kindly invite your to read this thread:
http://technaute.cyberpresse.ca/nou...urdhui-sur-cyberpresse_267_article_ECRAN1POS2
it is in french, but if you like to call yourself a dev, then I'm sure you know how to use a webpage translator .
In short: iphones and ipad are kepping unsecured data of all your geo-localisation on your phone and any computer that you synch to.
Isn't this hughe and nice of them !!??
So attention all of you cockold of this world, Apple with all it's kindness is making your life easier to confirm your status.
hehehe!
Big writeup today on Tech Republic as well. If iOS was open source they could rip it out like when Sprint CIQ was ripped out of the Epc 4G. Thanks K0nane!

Is that true? Does anyone know where is that database stored in Android?
And even if this data is being recorded, wouldn't it be possible to fix it as Android is open source?
Its stored on google's servers and yes you can turn this off on the android so none of the applications can track you! Killing your gps/3g/and data means they cant track you there are even anti gps apps that will tell them your in some other country. So just because some apps can doesnt mean they always do like on iOs. Its all about what apps you have installed really and what they're doing the easiest way to see this is with adb....adb logcat command while your phone is plugged in usb. Youll see google services running calling on your gps location and data collection you can see the code its plain as day!
Heres an old ss i had of what it looks like!↓↓↓

What the guy said below me is not true but hey whatever you want to believe... They store your data because its worth money plain and simple...
Its worth money to marketing and analytical firms! Google knows more about you than YOU do!
They know your darkest secrets whatever you typed into google they know...
They've even developed software to collect and categorize all of it... So saying that Google is the devil LoL

Not sure I understand what this thread is all about? It seems to have been posted today (or have I got this wrong?) but points to software which has been being used for months and referred to in various threads?
Is there something I am missing here or have you actually published an .ini file somewhere which lets users use all those icons (by pointing the iTunes icon to windows media player etc)? Or have you managed to get the sking to run on start up or have you managed to get the slider to hog less memory?
Please tell us what is going on in this thread!
Since many Android apps lack any visual awesomeness, I am willing to help most developers create themes or concept designs of their apps in Photoshop.
Some of my work.
Please PM me or post here!
Here is a mock up I made for a supposed Twitter application:

Can you draw sprites for games?
Well, I am not actually good at character design, I meant like UI/GUI designs for twitter, social, messaging, home replacements and that kind of applications
*Edit - although I may be able to, I have a Wacom tablet for a reason... lol. I just haven't tried yet.
Do you charge? if so how much?
Depends on how much work you need done. And it might be free if theres only a little bit of work and I get the app free. Sounds fair enough?
If you have any questions, discuss pricing, amount of work, deadline with me on my IM...
AIM - [email protected]
MSN - [email protected]
Yahoo - [email protected] (email here too)
If you need estimates tell me how much work.
*Not really in it for the money I will earn, but for the development of Android itself.*
Basic estimates:
*Couple of pieces of GUI for the app* -Free, but I want the Application free.
*Whole concept, design, and creation of the entire interface* - $25-45 based on complexity
*Icon(s)* - Free for basic icon, but want App. Many icons, around $10-50 based on amount and complexity
*Concepts* - $15-25
*Everything GUI (Icons, themes, styles, interface)* - $60-100
Will you do it for iPhone apps too?

Sure. I have a spare 3G laying around... why not? I hope you mean iPhone app "GUI" not coding them as i have no idea how to code at all.
Lets talk about it if you are interested.
I have a friend that's starting up a gym/health club to the likes of Lifetime Fitness, but a tad smaller in scale. He's looking for a MASTER Android programmer to help him develop (paid of course) a proprietary Android build or app for strict clientele management. The build/program must:
Be a proprietary product (in other words, no android marketplace/app brain postings)
Send/Retrieve Client info via WiFi or Tethering
Catalog customized client workout profiles
Catalog hundreds of exercises with visualization animations
Catalog various customized diet and supplement programs
Send a workout log to clients via email after every session (for Record Purposes)
Must front-end to a customized windows data managing program
Database must be easily editable on a PC.

If anyone is interested and willing to take on such a huge challenge, PM me and we'll go about setting up a meeting (Face to Face or Netchat) with the guy.
Hopefully someone here can help him out.
IMO i dont think youre looking for an android develroper . You're kinda looking for a person that can set up a windows exchange server . My dad does this kinda stuff . but hes not an android developer.
he knows how to setup a server for a business like this i thinkk

Hmm.. think your right, Unless the [OP] already has a working server otherwise an android dev
I'm sure he doesn't give a care what it is that someone is called or what job title someone needs to be called. He just needs it done. So if anyone can do this, let me know and we'll get things rolling.
Figured I'd hit the XDA forums first seeing has how you guys can do just about anything. He's giving it one more week, and then opening the job up to a firm. If you want the cash, respond.
How much cash are we talking

Well, the title has 3 dollar signs, so I assume the pay would be pretty good

and cloud installation works like a charm! however, not all applications are supported on Notion Ink Adam.
Yes, i'm rooted. Probably won't work if you're not rooted since you dont have google service and you're not "logged" onto your google account
Are you Rooted? If so, anyone who hasn't rooted, please tryit and let us know!
Im not rooted atm and it works, but some apps arent compatible with the Adam, Google Maps/Google Earth for example.
Seems u still need Market installed since it loads info from it so u can download. So its useless for the adam currently.
Thanks guys for keeping us updated!
A bunch of us don't have or Adams yet and we live vicariously through you. Thanks again for posting your updates.
I wonder how it will determine that an app is compatible with the Adam. Does it go by characteristics (eg screen resolution, CPU, memory, ...) or does the developer have to specify what devices (or all) will work (eg what GameLoft does on their web page).

that's a good question. i think they just list it as an unknown device in their database. i always wonder what happens if modify the default.prop file to something like Samsung Tab....

Right. So we may have to play with this file to be able to buy compatible software if Adam is not listed.
Buying at GameLoft for my Galaxy Fascinate can be painful. When they gave away Dungeon Hunter for the holidays I had to find a version for one of the sister phones because they had not tested it on mine so it did not show when I went to their site on my phone. I hope they figure out a better way.

My guess is if you have market installed and working, it should show up as a device on your "my market account" as an option.

This is my first Windows phone experience but have tried to run the phone through WDRT which has nothing for the phone. With WPI I was able to switch the 950 to mass storage mode and make a backup. I tried flashing the phone with a similiar .ffu but the app crashes. Windows 7 reports the phone to have a total size of 16.1 gb while WPI says it has 29.1 gb. I'm unable to access many default apps or features like the store or setting and am unable to sign-in to my MS account. I can sign into my wifi though the phone keeps tipping me that I have no connection.
I am able to mess with a bunch of settings with the app zDebugMenu but really don't have much to go on as I haven't found anything related to the product code of this phone. I'm hoping I didn't buy an overpriced paper weight and can get win 10 to run on it. Thanks.
I been gone since about this post and still no responses? It can only be logically concluded then that you Masters of Microsoft phones are still in awe over this rarest of Lumia 950 unicorns. Understandable. Perhaps some of you are of a nefarious spirit and take dark pleasures in the thought of this one of a kind find just sitting there like an over engineered paper weight in the hands of a disparaged Microsoft Phone noob out of his element. Understandable. But for me it has lead to a a sense of desperation and being powerless to finally getting chores done having all but lost the skill to phone procrastination due to the Lumias absence from my daily routine. Not sure how long I can take mobile estranged life. I'm literally learning the long lost ancient ways of floor tile counting during bathroom breaks that our forefathers use to tell us of how hard life was in their days. Please someone for the sake of Billy Gatez tell me what i can do to get you to help me to help myself out of this unholy senseless analog hell. Or Steve Jobs will visit you in your sleep.
