Native Email Client - "show Images" - Motorola Droid X2

Hoping this is the correct forum in which to post this; if not, my apologies...
I posted this over at a few other forums and no luck so hopefully someone here has a suggestion...
I have a rooted Moto Droid X2 on GB 2.3.3 - basically a stock ROM from VZW minus the VZW bloat (deleted it, hence why I am still on 2.3.3 and not 2.3.4)
Anyway, is there anything I can do to AUTOMATICALLY receive embedded graphic images in email when I open them so I do not have to press the "Show Images" button each time? Other than that I'm ok using the native email client, so short of switching clients, I'm open to pretty much try anything. My technical level where the Android OS is concerned would be novice so please keep that in mind as well.
Thanks people!

Your probably going to be stuck using the client and from what I remember that auto show type of functionality isnt built in.

Thanks for the reply. The responses I got elsewhere were few but pretty much said the same thing. Oh well.

disappointing answer to a question I always meant to ask myself...

I understand why the option is there because not everyone has unlimited data but there should still be an option to override it. I wonder is ICS 4.X will have an option...
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk

The GMail client was updated a while ago to 2.3.5.2 which includes the option to "always show".

I'm referring to the regular native email client, not GMail.

maybe there's hope, my old winmo phone could do it

Sadly not a single person on multiple forums had a solution.

That's because the native client just wont do want you want it to....there is no solution. Sorry

I am using an app called K9 Mail. Works great but has a goofy icon (which I changed). So many customizable options within it...

Recovery reboot option(Request)

I've always appreciated having the option of rebooting into recovery on the "phone options" when powering off. Typically if I have already used the dx2 bootstrap into recovery previously I can just power down when im plugged in and ill reboot into cwm...and my old dx and other phones I've seen have it typically. Pretty sure its doable.
So if anyones up for adding it to your list of things to do id be extatic.
Thx in advance.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
We don't have an official bsr. In order for the reboot recovery to work, i think the script calls for Koush's signature, or something like that, and our recovery doesn't have the proper sig. Not only is it a hacked up recovery, it's an ancient one. I don't see recovery ever being added, unfortunately.
Oh, btw, wrong forum.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
Xodus is correct.
We were all excited for a while when koush got an x2 bout a month or two ago thinking we would finally get a "real" x2 recovery option. Its a little frustrating to see almost EVERY moto phone except for us have that option. And the only "real"x2 difference between our phone and others is our tegra2. I can't see that being the reason we can't get this option. It Has GOT to be doable if someone would just put the work/time into creating it.
Well, don't they have one for the Xoom? We need to see if we can port some of the Xoom hacks. The only difference REALLY are honeycomb and the screen size(right?).

For inquiring minds they're don't know, an unlocked bl allows you to flash cwm to become THE recovery; no bsr or hacked jobs needed.

This is what the x2 needs desperately if we ever want to see some.permanent fixes for.performance issues we have had.
I swear someone needs to unlock this caged beast. @Motorola I'm looking at you. STOP LETTING VZW BULLY YOU INTO PERMANENT LOCKED BOOTLOADERS. THEY ARE BREAKING THE LAW!! AT LEAST LEAK US SOME.OPTIONS OR.PUT A METHOD OUT THERE FOR US TO USE...doesn't even need to be official on their website....just send it to a newb in the x2 forum and let em spread the news lol....AAAAGGGHHHH

/end rant sorry
Ya well even though we aren't unlocked...it would seem that some sort of autorun sequence for the two commands in the dx2 bootstrap could be programmed to run one after the other in the background at the push of a button on that menu. But it couldn't really be that simple -_-

Logic seems airtight. I mean, if you can push the button in System Recovery and it'll boot to charge mode or recovery mode then why can't the same commands used to perform that action be used as a reboot recovery option. I'm no dev. I would imagine if it was that easy, it would've been done by now.
"Reboot widget" from the market is a good alternative for now....

Seems to me the charge mode is the weakest link in the chain. The normal boot sequence is dependent on encryption and system checks, the battery animation doesn't require so much security. It would make sense to me, after reading the cvpcs blog about 2nd init, they could use 2nd init to hijack normal boot, but that sounds like a total pain in the ass.

ya XOdus...with nitro and masta being basically the only two devs for the dx2 I figured I'd just throw this out there and hopefully someone reads it. If i were savoy with making roms I'd be all over it, but hopefully just my train of thought may help someone with their endeavors in making their rom worth while. Nitro put our bootstrapper in his "eclipse parts" so I would imagine he might be interested in advancing farther.
We have it on the bionic. We're locked plus have to use a bootstrap. Ask around in that forum....
It's on Th3ory's ROM.

I can do it but you still have to be plugged into the wall. I found it kind of pointless since you need the app to toggle it back to charge mode if needed.

New idea for tablet ui on our phone

First off this is a development idea for right now.
The idea is instead of trying to chang dpi and a bunch of other settings that cause problems, we simply enable webtop 3.0 on our phone screen itself rather than mirror it to a display. Doing so would give a working tablet ui and would also get rid of all of the problems that other methods have.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Get ready to get *****ed at for starting another thread about the same thing. lol
Its a cool idea though. Do you think our phones can handle the ui? Are you thinking something more like a theme or a skin or a complete new user interface?

In webtop you can choose a resolution, so all you have to do is go into settings and turn the resolution down.

I've watched overzealous moderation destroy good forums long before there was even a world wide web. I'm not saying that is happening here, but...
If you tried say to create a nandroid of your Web top then flash it to your safe system in safestrap then boot into it and ran into problems you could justifiably ask for help on the dev forums, or just ask where you could find the Web top applications on your phone. It could be as simple as installing the Web top launcher over the stock and using something like home smack to switch between the two. If you took any small step in trying to achieve the goal then asked for help it would be undeniably dev forum material. It's probably more complicated than just booting into it or using the launcher but if you take a lead ill help.

That tricks the phone into thinking it has a lower dpi which makes applications behave weird and force close, what im working on is getting the phone to run webtop 3.0 as the main os/launcher so that you have a fully compatible tablet ui on your phone.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
Wouldn't we be better off porting ParanoidAndroid over? since it's based of cm9 and we have cm9 almost stable on the Razr, it would be much easier than forcing tablet launcher.
Also what exactly is the benefit of webtop as to me it only seems usable in a large screen size. I think usability would be considerably more cumbersome.
Sent from my Nexus 7
I don't think it'll be to difficult to accomplish seeing as webtop is launched almost as an application when HDMI is connected since they implemented 3.0
The reason I'm not holding my breath on a parandroid port is because development seems to be slowing down for our phone and i hate to rely on other people
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
I've also seen webtop displayed on the razr screen briefly when unplugging from my atrix lapdock. I think it would be interesting to flip the bit somehow to make it stay persistently just to play around with and see what it's like!

[Q] Anyone need an X2? I'm willing to donate to a dev

I've just switched to an iPhone 5 today, so my old Droid X2 is available for anyone who wants it.
I want a droid x2. Or do you just want to donate it to a dev? I'm not a dev, but I do try roms and test them out.

If it is still available, nitroglycerine33 needs one. Maybe he will update Eclipse if he has one.
if it's still available?
I'm a Computer Engineer who has mainly done desktop and server development and did some mobile development on Windows CE / PocketPC back in 2000, I've had PDAs and cell phones for years but bought my first 'smartphone' around 2006 that ran Windows Mobile 5. In January 2012, I got my first Android phone which was an X2. I choose an Android device over a Windows or Apple device because it was the cheapest way to get into mobile development (free development tools, no annual fees, etc.). Since I had to stop working in 2008 due to bulging disk, I've been wanting to start developing on the mobile platform some of the ideas that have come to my mind. So, I say all that to let you know that although I am not currently an experienced developer on the mobile platform, it's been my intention to since I stopped working. And although I already have an X2, I'd rather not use my 'everyday' phone as my development phone. So, if the offer still is valid, I'd be grateful for taking advantage of your gracious offer.
Mine's still working stronger than ever, but it would be nice/faster to have a device that I could test my CM10.1 ROM on without losing all my data on my phone.
If someone like DZK, or the dev of Eclipse doesn't take it, and you're willing to, I can put it to use for my 4.2.2 ROM instead of having to wipe mine all the time.

iMessage on Android Anyone interested?

Hello everyone!!! I have currently been working on iMessage for Android. However the use of a Mac OSX computer is necessary or you can use a virtual machine. I need a android developer for the app, shell scriptors, and Xcode developers.
If you would like to help shoot me a PM and reply to the post.
If you are just interested post in the forum to show your support.
Right now I can currently send iMessage messages via terminal.
Curious....

Sure, What it does is uses the iMessage.app program on a mac to send and recieve messages. the messages are then sent to the android phone and can be replied to in a normal style messaging app. It will also allow you to choose which email address you want to send it with.
So will the use need an iOS device to get this to work? If there any way of just getting the imessanger software on android n send like SMS style etc etc

Its not going to be meant to be put into a preexisting messaging application. There are just too many settings that would have to be implemented. I am going to try and develop and app that will work with it and maybe a plugin that adds support for native messaging.
All you will need is Mac OSX no iPhone.
so the only way this will function is through mac osx? it wouldn't be possible to have a native android app that operates straight through the imesage servers?

I think a majority of the people who don't have iMessage don't have an MAC to use. The idea you proposed sound interesting because it gave us hope of by passing any apple product and still being able to talk to apple users!

I disagree. Both my wife and I are android users and Mac users. We left windows 8 year ago and haven't looked back. The customization of Android is what we love and iOS sucks for full Google services integration (especially since both our jobs are dependent on Google services). However we do have imessage on our Macs, and have friends/family that use iOS. While an app that would work without the use of a Mac would be great, I'm highly interested in using it through my mac, or any other way it would work. I'm currently using VZW messenger app on the ipad so i can answer text messages when using that.
