No problem Matt, glad to do it. Looking forward to doing more in the future. I think there are a few the Cyanogen needs done now, that I will probably jump on. So here is the new question. I know how to take screen shots of my phone through the SDK and Eclipse, does anyone know of a program that I could actually to a video capture of my screen whilst I am working with it?

I normally cannot stand to sit and watch a video of user’s showcasing cell phone apps, but this was very well done, quickly paced (most of them are slow as heck), and informative. Well done, thank you!

What do you mean “when will Google throw us a bone”? I’d be willing to bet the cyanogen people don’t have permission to include the Market application on their rom image. It is not part of the open source or sdk release. I don’t think the YouTube application is either. Shouldn’t Google be allowed to determine when to release their own software?

@Maj I know we are working hard to get a paypal account for this but as a new company, they are giving us a lot of trouble. We just re-applied last week, so we will see how it goes. Credit card setup should be within a day or less but perhaps it depends on the bank. If you already have an Amazon account, you can just hook up without going through this step.

@Shane Isbell
Shane, i’ve always wanted to purchase apps from your market but the lack of paypal pushes me away, plus i dont want to get into the trouble of registering with my credit card and waiting for a few days for the secret number in the credit card’s balance

@DesertEagle thanks for the tip. We will get a fix in for the Gallery issue in the next release of SAM.

@David you are twisting my words to make a point. I said “look”, not “prefer”, as there are some things like install and notifications that are better than SlideME so users may prefer Android Market. That’s fine if people like Android Market more. SlideME isn’t for everyone.

But I stand by my point, if someone were to take Android Market 1.0 (haven’t seen the new version in action yet) and tell me it looks great, I would tell them they lacked taste. You may throw out ad hominens to counter this and you may find my remark petulant but I absolutely believe that the Android Market looks bad.

And none of the oohing and ahhing that sites like phandroid and AndroidGuys did over the Android Market when it was originally released ever swayed me from that belief. So at least I put my money where my mouth is and try do it better.

@shane I’d suggest growing up a little. Your comments here make you sound like a petulant kid. Anyone who prefers another app over yours has no taste? Really?

@ Justin – Thanks for the video. Comment – use your chain lock for security…you can never be to careful who will bust in while you are shooting. Brother, Yeti, Mom? (kidding – nice job.)

Is there an APK for root users whoi aren’t using Cyanogen?

@macs agreed, i have 4.1.11.1 and its runnin real quick. Feels like a new phone.

Only some apps in mkt have screen shots. Overall, mkt is much better organized. Worth checkin out if you have root.
