Thank you KraYzeE for the awesome campy graphic, it’s awesome! Yesterday I released the Droid-Life IRC app on the market. You can find it by these methods using the QR Code, Clicking the link on your android device, or Searching for “IRC” in the Android Market.

Now here is a step by step setup guide to completely walk you through the process.

Step 1: Load Droid-Life IRC

Step 2: Scroll down to where it says Nickname.

Step 3: Change DroidLifer to the name you wish to use. Ex: myname.

Step 4: This is optional, but you can add channels to the list to automatically join.

Step 5: Type the name of the channel then click Add. Repeat until all channels have been added then click Ok. Ex: #phoenix

Step 6: Click Save to save the settings you’ve added and changed.

Step 7: Click the Droid-Life server you just added and watch while it connects you.

Step 8: Now you are connected. You may scroll to the right to see the channels you’ve joined. #DroidLife will be the first one.

Step 9: Register your name. To do so type /ns register mypass my@email.com. Just replace mypass with the password you will remember, and my@email.com with your email address.

Step 10: Press the menu key on your phone then disconnect.

Step 11: Press and hold the Droid-Life Server until a menu pops up.

Step 12: Select Edit

Droid-Life IRC is based off of Yaaic (Yet Another Android IRC Client) which is an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Client.

Yaaic is Open Source! (GPL)
Offical homepage:
http://www.yaaic.org

Droid-Life nor Rob Shad claims to have created this IRC Client. It is a slightly modified version of the original code tailored to the Droid Life IRC Network.

****** This is meant to be used for only the Droid-Life IRC Network, it has a server restriction so you may only use the Droid-Life IRC network. ******

Thank you to the follow people for help by testing:

And a big thank you KraYzeE for your time in making the icon.

Finally I forced myself to sit down and get AOSP to compile. It will be completely stock to start until I figure out some cool features to add to it. I will post more things about it shortly.

Two days ago I started working on a new project. Hopefully it will be finished in the next few days. I’m getting excited about it with how close it is. It should be a big hit with people using a Droid 1. I plan on expanding the project to other Droid devices. But for now thats what it will be for.

Last night I was unable to activate my phone after I changed the Motorola M on boot. So when dialing *228 didn’t work, I tried to use the verizon website, and that failed to work as well. So here are the steps I took:

1) At the screen where you touch the android, touch the four corners of the screen starting with the top left and moving clockwise. Make sure to touch in the black area. This will take you to the home screen.

2) Open the dialer and dial ##PROGRAM (##7764726) then hit send.

3) Enter the SPC code 000000 (six zeros).

4) Select User Activation

5) For MDN and MTN enter your 10-digit phone number.

6) For CDMA SYS ID enter 31082.

7) Return back to the home screen then reboot your phone.
