Why are cooks including Footprint on TP2 ?

[tmgproductions]

Footprint does not work on a CDMA TP2
Chef's are making great roms, but including
a useless program like Footprint. Please do
not include footprint on future roms.
especially on the main tabs. footprint needs
a magnetomator to work, which TP2 does not have.

It can work on Touch Pro 2 and does not need a magnetometer.
It uses GPS location.

Aside from that, this sub forum is for Rom releases only.
Not for uneducated posts or rants.

If it's useless (to you) then you're free to choose any ROM that does NOT include it. you are also free to disable it (like I do the "stocks" and "twitter" tabs) AND I have used Footprints on my TP2 on occasion..

It's actually pretty neat.

(P.S. a 'magnetometer' will not determine your GPS location. )

use your manila settings and you can remove footprints from the "main tabs"

goto settings....personalize.....home screen tabs.....uncheck what you do not want...

there should be a 'lurkers' sub forum where they have to get their post count above say 50... before they can start new threads... and all the helpful ppl can go to said forums and answer the same ?s a couple dozen times until the noobs learn to "search" or "think" before going out into gen. pop.

Well, to come to the OP's defense (kinda), a lot of ROMs have included Footprints when it doesn't work... but there have been a few ROMs that have Footprints actually working. But you can always remove Footprints so whatever.

That's fair

(I've always removed the tab, but the one time i left it alone, i played with it and it was pretty cool.. maybe I removed it from the ROMs that didnt have it working by accident hahahahaha... oh well.. it is what it is )
