The pictorial hardware modification guide was created by Rich Dunbar. The MetaDoctor script for the software side was created by WebOS Internals.
You can read more about this in the webOSRoundup article at:

which links back to the WebOS Internals wiki page.
Note that all of the above is done without breaking any copyright laws or illegally redistributing proprietary copyright material. It would be good to keep it that way. Time will tell how what conventions of legality are enforced by the moderators on these new XDA webOS forums.
In particular, it is illegal to redistribute any webOS Doctor files, including any custom webOS Doctor which has been created by the WebOS Internals MetaDoctor. Each end-user must run the tool themselves for their own personal device.

Microsoft Physics Illustrator - Port to PPC?

There has been discussion in the development and hacking section, with people requesting a port of the popular Iphone game, Iphysics.
I was going to respond to that thread, but haven't for two reason:
1. The Development and Hacking thread is only supposed to allow posting from hardcore techies or developers apparently, of which I am neither.
2. This is regarding a seperate piece of software to Iphysics.
Anyway, here is the idea.
The good people at Microsoft have created a program called Microsoft Physics Illustrator, in collaboration with MIT. It is extremely similar to Crayon Physics/Iphysics/Pocket Physics.
The up side? It is free, and already built to work on Microsoft Tablet PCs with a stylus. Further to that, the source code is also available freely for download. Microsoft states that you are free to do with it what you like, as long as you don't use it for commercial gain.
It should be MUCH easier to port to pocket pc than the previous three mentioned projects.
The source code as well as a working model for tablet PC and normal PC can be found here:
http://blog.hypercubed.com/archives/2006/02/05/how-to-use-physics-illistrator-on-non-tablet-pc/
I imagine it would require our PPCs to have .NET CF 3.5 also.
Perhaps someone with more development skills then me would know how to port this to PPC?
is the PPC game Amazing World not something similar?

Warranty/Insurance Coverage Comparison Chart

Here's a comparison chart I just created of warranty and insurance coverage for smart phones.
Comparison is between SquareTrade, Worth Ave Group, ToughCell, and Sprint TEP. I did not include others as I am not really familiar with them or haven't heard of them. I have Sprint, worked with SquareTrade, and will probably be going with Worth Ave Group in the near future. I did my best to be as accurate as possible but things may be different! Feel free to suggest corrections and/or additions. I'll update/fix it and repost whenever I get the chance.
**This information may not be 100% percent accurate so ask questions to whichever party you choose before signing up for anything, anywhere! Things change, and information found on their websites may change or may be incorrect! All information in this chart is collected from their respectful websites and recent experience**
*Coverage compared is for SMARTPHONES only, NOT iPhones or anything else* No, I'm not saying iPhones aren't smartphones, they have their own category on most of the websites of these providers.
Green is a little shout out to Android

Hey all!
I've been an XDA follower myself since the good old Sony Xperia Arc days
Developing apps has been something I've wanted to do for years and now, thanks inadvertently to the pandemic, I've had the time to get started on this journey with the super awesome Flutter framework. This is my first app
Always open to feedback and suggestions!
ImmEasy is a simple app that gives you an estimate points total under the Canadian Express Entry System (CRS) as well as for multiple (188/89/90 & 491) subclasses of the Australian Skilled Migration Program.
The UI is based on neumorphic design principles to give mundane forms a refreshing modern spin.
All information displayed in the app is gathered from official sources wherever possible.
Note: This app is intended solely for general guidance and reference purposes only.
version 1.2.2 now available!
- fixed some UI jank
- optimized the code to run faster

Custom Rom is safe, because everyone said it opensource, But ??

Simple question: does anyone really review the code????

Yes. You'll see a lot of 'contributors' on any ROM's GitHub page and as they add/tweak features, fix bugs and clean things up, the code is being checked constantly. These can be dozens of even thousands of people checking each other's work. This doesn't even consider the people that just look at the code, which everyone is free to do.
Here's the people working on a crDroid ROM for the OnePlus 7T:

Here's almost 10k people involved on a kernel:
On our side – the moderator team – we do a lot of version checking to see if the published versions of components actually match the ones in the source code. Of course, as there is a tremendous amount of code in a ROM, not everything is meticulously being reviewed line by line but anything remotely malicious tends to stand out and when there's the slightest bit of doubt a deeper analysis will occur by multiple parties. Next to all that there are also automated reviewing processes and built in safeguards.

What the hell is this system component?

It's not malicious if that's what you're wondering.
Internally there are *dogfood* and *fishfood* versions of some apps, so you can *dogfood* (verb) and *fishfood* them respectively.
Dogfooding is using an app or feature shortly before it's publically released. The term *dogfood* comes from the expression ["eating your own dogfood"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food).
Fishfooding is using an app or feature really early in its development before it's even really finished.
The term *fishfood* actually comes from the Google+ team inside of Google. Google+ was internally codenamed Emerald Sea. During its early development, it wasn't finished enough to be considered dogfoodable, so they called it fishfood. Because Emerald *Sea*.

So google sees people using very early unreleased apps as fish, and people using "beta" apps as dogs, interesting.
So people using the actual releases must be apes. Good to know. Google is absolutely correct, most modern humans are lab rats following their one and only true purpose, being a lab rat.
Thanks anyway.
