Hey guys i just switched from my beloved iphone to an htc desire hd, (loving android more now with a fast device.) i was looking into booting ubuntu using ubuntu4dhd and easy to use and the start here.bat. could someone possibly email me the files or upload to torrentz.com. I cant find downloads anywhere for these files other than megaupload and multiupload and they have been siezed by the us government and i have spent hours on google trying to find the files with no success. so if someone who already has them downloaded please upload and post the link where i can find them. thanks so much

Sorry, but WHY would you want to do that?
Not happy with android and 7.
Why aren't you happy with Android?
Doesn't work well with Outlook.

trade me your EVO for my Touch Pro. PM me if interested
I have a touchpro 2 and love it.
And took the evo back.
So it looks like at this point I wont be getting an EVO and installing WM 6.5.
I was just hoping.
I had a touch pro 2 that was unlocked and ran a lot of different roms on it. It was so slow! The best thing that happened to that phone was it broke and I was able to get my EVO. Don't think you can run wm on a evo. Peace

Widows mobile => same crappy paying job
Evo Android => same crappy job but hours of entertainment playing games, searching Egyptian midget porn, downloading apps, playing family guy, office soundboards. Need I go on?

If you renamed the old one so it didn't say "bootanimation.zip" just take a letter off them put your other one in there and name it the "bootanimtion.zip"

[Q] Linux overtop install

Hey I was wondering if it is possible to install debian, unbuntu, etc over top of android, and if so how to go about that. I saw on twitter a someone said it could be done, but i have my doubts and that is why i am asking
It's possible but its not a full blown OS and its kind of useless since desktop GUIs usually don't scale down well to smartphone size. The way that it is done now is you setup a chroot environment and boot up ubuntu in the chroot and then use vnc to connect to one of your local ports. AFAIK its slow.as hell.

I'm sorry, I can't really help you any further. My Machine doesn't have space to use Virtual Box, I was just trying to point you in the direction of what looked like the most useful website.

S Voice

anyone tried S Voice with the Desire yet?
it installs on ICS so I think it might work
original: http://minus.com/llX3TROSRO4NH
fixed to work on unauthorized devices: http://minus.com/lCWshD37drA9R
Tested it now. Might be best skipping the intro and it fc when trying to change the wake command. Also double tap home didn't work for me either.
Clear data if you have fc on start up. But it does work. Can google search and text etc.

works, but very slowly on AOKP build 35. I will try it later on Sandvolds beta 8.1
It's slow at responding for all machines I think
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium
Works rather fast for me. It fc when I do stuff like 1+1 or something like that. And its slow in opening apps. Sandvold ICS.

i've used the new one for checking the weather for location, sending text and calling - all seems to work well.
I install S-Voice from the apk from frandroid.com
And it works, open apk, understand french language...
I hope this apk will mature quickly
on HTC desire the installaton crash but, after a reboot, it works
nice one!
I do not have a crash during installation.
I'm on ics 4.0.4 bravo cyanogen mod 9 RC 3.4.U1.
And it works.
Does someone test http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673354 on HTC Desire ?
Tried the first APK, but it wasn't for me.
Also it's weird to say 'Hi Galaxy' to desire.
I suggest to wait for a year or so, so that developers can stabilize the system
work
The fix S voice apk and Spanish language works well for me.
I have 2 days with him and I am testing it

It works if u install it as a system app. Although its a waste of battery IMHO.

Sky Go

Hi All
This is my first post so play nice
I've already downloaded the test 0.1.5 app for my HTC One X and for the life of me I can't get it to work. It worked fine on my old XE on ICS but can't get it to work on the OneX.
It will load fine up until I try and watch a video and it just stays at 0% load then just restarts the app. Is there a way around this to either fix it or am I being a complete noob and missed something in the posts. I did look in the other posts but couldn't find anything to help me.
Any help would be great

Are you rooted? Cause from what I remember rooted users could not access sky go

Check there, there are a bunch of modified apks on various pages. I haven't been able to get it working on mine so far.
You will need to hide root using voodoo root keeper. Only way I could get it to work on my galaxy s2 when I had it.

No, not rooted. Standard box Rom.

Yeah found it after, doesn't work with stock ROM. It won't stream. Logs on though
Ah ok then. My Manager at work told to enter wrong password, turn phone off and on then do right password and it works. But don't know if anyone else has tried it. He is on a Xperia S and got it to work with the test app.
Well, guess all I got to do now is sit back and just waif for Sky to sort themselves out, going to miss the f1 tho.
