Here are the Motorola Shadow android 2.1 specs as posted at PDAdb.net:

I am only re-posting to this because it brings up a pet peeve of mine. And just for clarity: THE ABOVE POST WAS MADE BEFORE all the usual suspects (online phone & gadget magaizines) came out of the woodwork to steal "Alfred's" scoop -- in effect making it THEIR scoop, with not so much as a nod to the guy who acquired these now widely-seen photos.
I posted this the day I saw it and it was sourced to "Alfred's Blog" in Hong Kong.
Yet for the past 2-3 says, one by one, gizmodo, engadget, pocketnow, and all the other "lacking in original thought & content" magazines have re-posted and re-posted these images, and instead of crediting the source who got the photos, they credit the prior BLOG they got it from.
So it's all a dumb cookie crumb trail -- like pocketnow i think sources gizmodo, who sources someone else, and that source goes to engadget, and engadget got it from one other source -- who got it from "Alfred's Blog".
That in itself is annoying, and speaks to the fractured and redundant nature of this touchscreen world when it comes to those "covering" it. But whatg's worse is of you happen to follow any of these "sources" on twitter... It becomes even more blatantly empty and shallow, with PocketNow re-tweeting someone else, yet creating their own shortURL that links to, say, gizmodo's page....
I wish this incessant-Retweeting culture would face some kind of pushback from people who really don't need 100 reminders of "hey, this could be the Nexus Two!" ....
I actually have come to like twitter, where i originally hated it for its original intent" "what are you doing right now?"... But as a crowdsourcing medium now -- its better usage -- we get collaborative filtering from "human receptors" all over the world.
The problem is: Now everyone Retweets what someone initially sources, and then the permutations begin.
/mini-rant over

Yes, "everything is a copy of a copy of a copy" as a narrator once told us over ten years ago.
I totally agree about the irritating blog echoes turned to tweet echoes especially when I mistake them for reporting something new only to find out the "new" story is actually based on a two week old speculative engadget post. I have mostly come to accept this sillyness but it is indeed funny to see how a story's original facts and rumors become transformed as the story makes its way through the seeming endless bile duct of crap blogs.

Let us know how you like it.

A few things I found...

Decided to take a crack (lol pun intended ) at a couple of things the other night, and stumbled across something interesting - HTC's internal bidding system.
And what I've found are parts that they are buying for whatever models of phones they're working on/thinking about working on. I saw parts for an HTC Touch Pro from 2005, parts from the HTC Magic from 2006, etc.. Well, I found parts, as of the other day, for the 'HTC Incredible', so, they must be working on it.
Also, I found reference to xda-developers.com inside of an actual bidding-slip for reference to the models that they had listed - I thought that was pretty damn cool.
I've highlighted different model names and such, and the reasoning I pointed out the Bahamas and the Memphis are so you can see that the models are not always only listed on the right-side of the screen, too.
Here are some screenshots for you all:

hope you like it guys...PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK SO IT CAN BE IMPROVED...
Nice App
I coach a soccer team and this App looks like it would be perfect. So far it works flawlessy. If you are looking for recommendations maybe have it so that you can look at the reals for u16 leagues u14 leagues so on and so forth because the younger you get the rules change ever so slightly but enough to make this app incorrect. It would then be usable by farrr more people. Either way a must have app for coaches, refs, players, and their parents. Always good to know the rules.
thats perfect
thats perfect, now im happy cause you are the first person telling me that found my app usefull and that it works as it should...
now i should search for fifa's book about younger ages...(in my country i thing there are u15, u17 and u21 - so i dont know what to put)...anyway i will look at this in the next 2 weeks cause am working on some other apps right now...
anw thanks for the feedback...
Does your app compensate for FIFAs idiocy?
In all seriousness, the app looks neat! Can't wait to try it.

I do not know what country you are in but in the US there is U17, U16, and U15 as well as U14, U12, U10, and U8 in most rec leagues. A good source for the U17- U15 is http://www.usyouthsoccer.org/index.html hope this helps.
thanks for the info i will take a look but as i said suddenly those 2 weeks am busy with some other apps so you dont expected an update soon...
Might want to specify it's for soccer not football for us Americans. Otherwise it worked fine for me.
i was thinking about it but i decide not to include it in order to have a short name...but i should include it in descriptions...
Im going to try this app becauze im a huge soccer fan, and most of the time i hate refs. Maybe this app lets me understand them.
i get a server error on de market,... i ll try again later..
hope you like it...

[REQ] Looking for a android developer to realise my concept.

So, I'm a graphic designer by trade and while working on expanding my portfolio, I started thinking about an app concept. Slowly I worked out the concept for a honeycomb app, this included UI, functions, visual identity, uses, targeted user base. The main idea was to create an app that was both visually appealing and useful since most android apps around frankly look like ****.
Now what I'm looking for is a dev to translate this concept into an actual app since I'm a lowly designer and my programming experience doesn't go beyond jQuery. Now for all I care the dev interested can sell it or distribute it for free, all I want is credit for the design and initial concept.
Now because of this I'm not going to just post the idea for the app here since I put a lot of time and effort into it, but any dev willing to help can PM me and I'll give detailed information. I must tell you that it is a relatively simple app.
Also to prove I am not just talking out of my ass,
here's the logo design:

and here is a screenshot of a part of the app:
I must note again that I'm not looking for profit or money, just credit.
EDIT: please fix the title.

Hello, hope you been getting some responses. Can you at least let us in on what kind of program it might be? Just curious.

I have gotten 2 responses, and it's a productivity app aimed at people who enjoy drawing.
And no it is not a drawing app.
bump again

sadface bump ):
that logo looks like a electrostatic tablet pen for drawing. I'm guessing you're trying to make a tablet driver for Honeycomb?
Or, probably you're tying to make a simulated pressure sensitive drawing application with one thumb on that slider on the side controlling brush size.

From the Logo, I thought it was smoking related... like smoking a big ole reefer or something.
In all seriousness, if I may critique the logo. The colors are working great as red black and white always seem to harmonize nicely.
What I think could work better is if you got rid of some of that negative... actually empty space around the stylus. In other words, crop in closer to the actual tool. It will put much more emphasis on your focal point, the pen.
Also fix the sinuous lines coming off the tip. Right now, it looks as if you're tyring to illustrate smoke.
I think those are the only issues that I personally see. Good luck and keep us posted~

K is for KitKat?

Now that that's over with, let's get down to the serious business of speculating about what desserts start with the letter "L":
I'm pretty sure that the ship has sailed on "Lemon Meringue Pie" ...
Unless Google plans to make "Golden Ticket" candy contests an ongoing thing then "Lemonheads" are out too ...
In fact, once you shut down all the desserts that start with "Lemon" there isn't much left, so I'm calling it early... the next major Android OS name will be:
Lollipop
After that, it's wide open - but if there really is a Santa Claus ... please let it be "MoonPie" ... pleeeease ...

I luv Kitkats. Maybe I'll change my Infuse for an s5 next year to get kitkats
I guess S will be Smarties, the best candy to become smart!
BTW India was suggesting L for Lassi. I'm not Indian, but man the Lassi really tastes great. Addicted to it now
This is only partially on topic, but I'm guessing everyone has seen the possible photo of the new Nexus 4.
Is anyone thinking about jumping ship when Google releases their new phone? It's been my plan for the past year since I've been using an Infuse with a horribly cracked digitizer. I don't know how I feel about the likely possibility that it will be made by LG again though. I was hoping Motorola would be the manufacture because I like some of the phones they've been making lately.
Is anyone thinking about going to a different phone? I'm not on a contract so the Nexus 4 is pretty much all I can afford, but I still enjoy discussing the nice things I can't have.
any update on release of kitket ?
any update on release of kitket ? is it declared, that its going to be release in oct ?? or all is humor....
http://www.techhive.com/article/2053316/latest-android-kit-kat-leak-shows-off-new-interface.html
According to that article (and a few others), KitKat is already leaked per Nexus 5. Seems the OS is faster and not as resource heavy (which is promising for older devices like my Infuse), but reports indicate the first cut of 4.4 is a little buggy (not unusual). Seems the camera flicker is fixed (woohoo) and that there are other visual improvements. Overall, there is more good news than bad, but 4.4 appears to be more technical improvements than anything (which, again, is welcome news for Infuse, and hopefully will make it just as portable as previous versions).
Keep all conversation to this topic to already existing thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44186112
Appreciate your future attention to this.

Have a great day!

Why are some magnet links not working?

I have been using the site rarbgaccess.org for a couple of years without any issues. However, there has been some odd behavior over the past few weeks.
Recently, I grabbed the magnet link from https://rarbgaccess.org/torrent/eoihdrn, which says ‘Seeders : 102 , Leechers : 7’, loaded it into my seedbox.io page, and the show was available to me within the hour.
At the same time, I grabbed the magnet link from https://rarbgaccess.org/torrent/p69t3og, which says ‘Seeders : 171 , Leechers : 14’, loaded it into my seedbox.io page, and after 40+ hours, not a single byte had been downloaded.
I suspect one of two problems: First, the reported number of seeders/leechers is wrong; or second, the magnet URL is wrong.
Any thoughts about what I can do to resolve this issue?
Quite frankly: Forget RARBG, they are a bunch of quite sore losers, staff generally shows a nazi-like attitude. OK, one could live with that for the sake of a quick DL.
Peer stats on RARBG are usually working but if seeders is down to 1, that's a lie! You can check for current stats at other sites like:
https://www.torrentdownloads.pro/
Much worse is that pretty much all their stuff is remuxed - they steal stuff elsewhere, and remux it just put their pee-mark in it:

}
Worst are the very downsampled rarbg "releases", crappy crap from people who don't know/care much about videos - just the same s*it like yify in a different color, a different shade of brown
EOD: RARBG maybe good to see what's available but if you care about quality you'd look elsewhere and you find plenty of good sites with awesome communities.
PS: Zdrasti! No offence to BG at all

Thanks for the honest feedback. One of the reasons I have been using RARBG is that they typically have the ION10 torrents, which include closed captioning (which my wife likes because she is hard of hearing). What torrent site(s) would you suggest?

Me, too ...but probably for slightly different reasons: I am turning deaf when eating chips Subs are also useful when actors are just mumbling or watching foreign films in original. No subs, no deal.
Subs are also another thing where RARBG often fails but on the positive side for them, they have always a proper mediainfo so you see any and all tracks in advance (I already felt slightly sorry for them after my rant).
And your wife will love this:
https://www.opensubtitles.org
All the subs in one place (well, most of them, like 95%) and eg SMPlayer can download the right sub on the spot:

Not really an XDA topic
Hard to tell, there are so many. Also depends on your likes (size, languages, bonus material, quality, remux) and many require signup/invite but here are two sites for a first overview:
https://opentrackers.org/
http://torrentinvites.org/forum.php
Or just google for the desired release name (in your case with "ION10"), that should also point you in the right direction
