Root is just access to core files of system
Rooting is a procedure which grants you the administrator/superuser/ permissions so that you can modify any file inside your Android OS
Flashing is installing firmwares on a phone

Unlocking bootloader in rooted and flashed st15

hi all
i have some questions to ask
i'm a possessor of an xperia mini st15i (italian version i think)
i rooted the stock .587 ics, installed via xparts a sort of clockworkmod emulation (cause it's on system partition i think)
and flashed phone with real ics 4 for locked bootloader based on stock .462
i did this following some howtos in this forum and whitout unlocking bootloader.
now i would like to unlock that bootloader, install native clockworkmod and the android official version from google, possibly gingerbread
cause speed issues on ics, here are the questions
can i proceed following normal howtos ignoring what i did to my phone?
are there any guide to read?
do exist some ics based rom for locked bootloader that gives an evident increase of performance?
thank you all in advance and excuse me if i ask something i could find searching in the forum, i tried but i didn't find anything but a guide for xperia neo v
cheers

Photoshop and Flash

I heard that is possible to have photoshop help out with
projects and even movies. My friend has an early version of
photoshop, and I was wondering he could do to contribute to some of
my movies?
Can someone give me a few examples?

Your question is still a little weird to me - I have never
heard it asked before - let's start with
some obvious questions: what version of flash do you have? If
you have CS3 then integration with
photoshop is easier with the PSD importer.
As to what photoshop can do with Flash - absolutely nothing
based on how you worded the question -
photoshop is what it is, and flash is what it is - photoshop
doesn't "do" anything "with" flash.
But I think you might be asking what can you do when you
combine these 2 programs as far as making
images and then animating them in flash...? Is this the
question?
It's hard to say because people have been importing images
from photoshop into flash for so many
years and for so many different reasons that the answer is
simply...anything your imagination can
produce (for the most part).
Jib Jab imports body parts from cut up photos for animation
in flash while a photographer will build
a flash gallery with XML in flash using images that were
saved from export (or any graphics editor).
Really hard to answer your question because it is like asking
can images be used in flash when they
can and it has been practiced for years and millions of
websites already online showcase this. Best
bet is to go to a site like www.thefwa.com and see for
yourself.
hope this helps.

Getting Big Headache, What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7

Hello, I am asking questions about the two similar yet different programs for Pocket PC version only:
1) Which came first, Flash Lite 3.1 or Flash Player 7?
2) If I have both in my Pocket PC, will there be product incompatibility?
3) What is the difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Player 7.
4) I have a Flash Lite 3.1 but uninstall information says "Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera Mobile", did you releaase this? Is this an illegal copy? A developer's copy?
*I don't know exactly where I got it, but I got it from the HTC developer's forum: XDA-developers.com
*I also use Opera mobile, a web browser for Pocket PC's.
5) What is difference between Flash Lite 3.1 and Flash Lite 3.1 for Opera? Is the only difference is that Flash Lite Supports everything flash related, while Flash Lite Opera supports only flash in opera?
Hi, I don't expect all answers, but I hope someone or someone from adobe support can clear some things up for me.

The program under my "remove programs" list is specifically called "Adobe Flash Lite for Opera". The XDA forums people said along time ago that it was Flash Lite, and kept calling it Flash Lite, and not Flash Player 7.
Now what about this:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashlite/version/
The table shows the differences between FP 7 SDK, FL 2.1, and FL 3.1. And it's quite obvious that FL 3.1 has way more features than Flash Player 7. What does SDK mean? And why are you telling me FP 7 has more features?
With this information, can you or anyone else provide any more details and clarification?

My iPod Shuffle (4th Generation) flashes red when I put it in the USB drive. What is wrong and how do I fix it?

Earlier today, I tried to use my shuffle, but for some reason, not only did it not play music, it gave a tri-tone. When I put it into the USB of my computer, the light flashed red for a moment then stopped. My iPod does not show up on iTunes nor My Computer. Can someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix this?

Cannot get into mac. I get a white screen and flashing file folder with question mark inside. What can I do?

2012/13 MacBook Pro froze up, so I did a hard shut down. Now, when I try to start up, it makes 3 unusual beeps, then I get a white screen. After a couple minutes, a flashing file folder with a question mark appears and remains. What is wrong and what can I do to fix it.

Three beeps usually means a RAM or RAM slots problem. The Question Mark means there is no bootable system found.
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.

2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Despite having up to date Firefox and Flash plugin, I still get a crash message. What can I do?

I am trying to use SiteFusion to build a website. When I go to upload a PSD file I get a "Flash plugin has crashed" message and the ability to select the PSD file and upload it stops. I have checked and I am on the most up to date version of Firefox and Flash plugin running Mac OS 10.6.8 on an Intel Core 2 Duo.

Adobe AIR - is what I need for communication between C++ and Flash?

Hello,
We currently have a C++ desktop application running on Windows and Mac. We want to support web-enabled (launching from the web browser) and moving UI into Flash. I am looking for a communication package that can use with VC++ 6.0 and CodeWarrior 8.0 (Xcode later). This communication package will handle messages between C/C++ app (process) and Flash. The communication need to execute fast (no delay).
I searched online about this and came across LocalConnection class and Adobe AIR but not getting enough info to have an answer. I am hoping posting this message will get more information.
Thanks,
-Thanh

Thanks Kalisto for a kind offer. We are using old compilers, CodeWarrior 8.0 compiler on the Mac and VC++ 6.0 in Windows. It is nice if I can find a package that will work with both compilers (platforms). Since we want to communicate in realtime, AIR is probably a best option to go for Windows. I am still looking for the answer on the Mac side of how to communicate from C++ to Flash. I'll ask for your help on AIR when time come.
Again, thanks.
