New Android Version for Nexus One may change my mind about "Jumping Ship" - Page 23

Verizon and US Cellular use the same network here. As for the phones, if they don't have the full Verizon lineup it's probably a retailer instead of a corp. store. If it's on verizonwireless.com then you should be able to get it.

The Droid 2 "Global" sounds neat. It's like an unlocked phone you can use all over the world and its at 1.2 Ghz.

I hope verizon doesnt get the iphone. The system isnt that fast here. It's gonna suck to have a shit load of those running off the data system. Escpecially when fuck tards use their phones as a modem.

People are doing that with android phone, but I doubt you'd notice anything if the iphone did come through.

I've pretty much ported the smoked glass theme we all have come to know and love and packaged it into a pretty awesome Froyo 2.2.1 Based ROM. This is an update to my original posting found here: [ROM]--CHARITY--Smoked Glass Themed v9.0 Froyo 2.2.1 Built From Source! BRAND SPANKIN' NEW

I don't think asking for personal donations is in line with the ideas behind open source software. Thus, I have decided to collect donation money for charity.

Please Donate, read below...

ALL (100%) of the money will go to NATIONAL PARK FOUNDATION: Oil Disaster Recovery. I will be fully transparent in this process and will show any donors proof of the organization's receipt. I know this is a new idea, I hope it catches on. Please check out the organization at:

Help Our Gulf Parks

Send donations directly by clicking the link above, or PM me for my PayPal address.

I highly recommend using Launcher Pro, It's free in the market. Much smoother than the stock Launcher....

Download link: sg102-update.zip

Instructions...

Backing up...
Google saves your contacts, programs, settings, and bookmarks on the cloud.
You can double-back up program with Titanium backup, which will also backup application settings
You can back up text messages with a market app called "SMS Backup & Restore".

File is in the UPDATE.ZIP format.

Clockworkmod
Place the file you downloaded anywhere on the SD Card. Easiest place would be the root directory.
Chose "Install zip from sdcard" from the main menu
Select "Chose zip from sdcard"
Browse to the file (SG9-update.zip) and select it. Confirm the install, let it do it's magic.
Reboot.

SPRecovery
Rename the file you downloaded to update.zip and place it in the root of the SD Card.
Select Install from the main menu
Select Allow update.zip Installation
Select Install /sdcard/update.zip (deprecated)
Reboot.

If you are running the most recent version of my ROM, you may not need to wipe data/cache (factory reset). It's never a bad idea though. If you bootloop, that is the reason.

Here's a few quick screenshots:

I do like the way you have LauncherPro setup. How did you get the launcher icons to look like that?
