Thank you

I know you are supposed to do the introductions in the "Introductions Forum", but I just got a Pocket eDGE for Christmas from my wife. I read this entire forum and want to thank Pablob for his Golden Allmine. and Javese for the LCD2Ink app. I did the golden allmine update 10 minutes after unwrapping my edge. After I found a good gapps.zip I got it to work (three tries.) Then I got my favorite live-wallpaper working ... thank you tarvoke! My day of Ubuntu wallpaper is working great!

So to all of you...thank you!

Just a couple tips I have found when starting new:
1: the gapps.zip file should have two immediate sub directories "META-INF" and "system". A few gapps.zip I have found just had all the google apps in the root folder of the zip drive, and these do not work.
2: To get the livewallpaper to work I had to find a good "LiveWallpapersPicker.apk" I tried several and usually got a "parse error". When I found one that could be opened by the package installer I used ES File Explorer to "Copy to" my "system/app" folder and change the permissions.
3: I had to mess with LCD2ink alot to get it working, including uninstalling and reinstalling it. Now it works great...just don't give up.

4: Never map the "home" button to the edge's "Screen Lock" app.

What a great device! I put graffiti on it as my keyboard...like my old palm pilot!

Again, Thank you all. And I love my eDGe!
