News: New URL’s and Site Slowdown

Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m in the process of replacing all of my download links (currently all are bit.ly) with ones created using my site. I use a url shortener not because the url’s need to be shortened, but because it helps me track how many click throughs there are. Additionally sometimes I host a file on my site and sometimes I don’t, so it gives a common feel for all the links. Please report any issues you have with the new links once they start showing up.

As far as reporting issues goes… my site is running extremely slow right now. My host will be notified shortly. :)

Download: RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.56.651.2 signed release.exe

Today I was reminded that being nice to people can pay off! I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new Sprint RUU thanks to syscrasher13!

What is this?

  • RUU (radio unit upgrade) is the way that our phones are flashed at the factory. It flashes all the factory images on to your phone.
  • The 1.29 RUU has always been available, however people that purchased phones that came with 1.56 on them were unable to use that RUU: http://geekfor.me/news/sprint-ruu-fails/
  • This is the updated version for those people that have “with Google” branded phones that came with software version 1.56 on them.

Input Needed: Lock Screen Image

When I released Fresh 1.0 I also unveiled a totally clear lock screen… one that had no wallpaper at all (as a side note… I know those of you who had already picked a custom lockscreen wallpaper weren’t able to get it to go clear. I found where it was cached and included a removal tool as part of my pre-kitchen).

When I released it I included a “proof of concept” image which was a full screen lock. I knew it was ugly, but I just wanted to show what was possible and to try and generate some creativity. I made several requests for some ideas or submissions on what to put there but I didn’t get anything.

With the upcoming release of 1.1 I would like to replace the full screen lock image, however I do plan on keeping the totally clear lock screen. So I’m looking for ideas, input, submissions, or anything on what you guys can give me on what to put in it’s place. Vote on the poll below, and submit your comments.

What to do with the lock screen...
