I've tried various ways to modify the settings.apk to make tts service show up in Android Settings as 'Voice Input & Output' but no luck.

Can anyone point me to a resource where it can explain how to modify/add missing settings in the settings.apk?

Thanks in advance,

Ytain

zagg

I really like my zagg invisishield.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heartspains88:
I ended up going with case mate tough case, and zagg invisible shield, i personally love both.

I love the feel of the zagg on the touch screen, the look, and how protected it is.

And case mate is by far one of the best cases I've used.

The combo is just nice.

trident cases

I would like to say that i have tried several cases and rubber bumpers and such but none can compare to the trident case i am now using. It is everything u are looking for in the op! Including a built in screen protector! I got mine from a kiosk at my local mall and the guy there was droping his phone from 8ft off the ground over and over just to show the level of protection these cases offer. I wouldnt go that far and im certainly NOT going to drop my phone on purpose but u get the point. Two of my friends have now gotten trident cases from their website after seeing mine. Google trident cases and check them out! Im pretty sure it will b exactly what u are looking for!

Heh, just posted this in another thread, perhaps it helps...

Pros: inexpensive, thin/snug plastic really keeps the phone thin even with the case on, kickstand folds into the case so it doesn't snag when you pocket it, relatively good looking, get relatively good protection when combined with a screen protector

Cons: doesn't envelop the phone completely so it doesn't protect as well as other cases, a bit on the flimsy side (although I bought a couple in case one breaks)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrRuckus:
Wow, thanks for the info on the trident cases. I really liked the OtterBox Defender Series a friend has on his Captivate and was a little bummed when I found out they do not make a Defender case for the Vibrant/SGS4G. I ended up picking up the Commuter case which is very nice, but I'm leaning towards the Cyclops Series from Trident now as its along the same lines as the Defender from OtterBox being just a little more rugged. The Aiges Series from Trident looks almost exactly the same as the Commuter from Otterbox.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guardianali:
I am seriously buying one after doing my research of all the tablets coming out. Xoom still seems the best.

One of the make or break things for me is the smoothness of video playback.

On my evo, i use qqplayer, rock player, vplayer to watch tv shows/movies I converted with handbrake of my blurays and tv series. I stream these files over my home network. Some are plain divx avi's, some are 720p/1080p mkvs.When i feel like watching it on a trip or something, i just throw files on my phone to watch on the go.

Due to the small size of the screen, the phone plays the files as is just fine with no hiccups.

Can a Xoom owner, please install one of those apps mentioned, and throw both a sd video (divx avi like for a tv show episode) and a 720p and 1080p mkv (like the bd rip movies) and see how she plays them?

Any stuttering? Video/sound stay in sync?

I really do not want to reencode all my files to 'native hardware' accelerated support files. Hopefully the dualcore tegra is enough to run software decode via these players on the higher res screen smoothly.

Thanks

Well I've tried searching for this on google and on many sites and Motorola's serviceone isn't picking up in my country. I'm using the XT720 from Singapore's Starhub (blue back cover)

So I'm wondering does this phone have gorilla glass? I really want to take out the screen protector considering how sharp this screen is without it.

Anyone have confirmation?
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
khalpowers has a video on youtube of him trying to scratch his with some scissors. just search xt720 gorrilla glass. im pretty sure it has it and im pretty sure i remember seeing xt720 on gorrilla glass's website also.
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
Yes, I can confirm you that XT720 has a Gorilla Glass (or at least, some kind of really strong scratch resistant glass). The screen is very durable and can resist of any scratch to the surface.

you don't need to apply normal screen protector to the phone, but in case you don't like the reflective glare from the direct light and smudgy fingerprints, you can apply matte screen protector.
[Milestone XT720 General] Doodalicious:
Great thanks alot all of you guys haha, I really wanna enjoy my screen's quality without having the matte protector bring it down.

I've been using the XT720 for 2 months without any kind of screen protectors, no scratches of any kind yet...

It is Gorilla Glass ( Not as strong as the one found in the DEFY tho.

Well, i had take off the screen protection and after 2 weeks now i have 2 scratch, so thin but anyways i don't want scratch my screen.

So now that we have got full HDMI out, are there any devs looking into getting the PS3 controller working with our beloved EVO? I'm aware of the ability to use the Wiimote. I've also heard they have gotten the sixaxis controller working on maemo, another linux based mobile system, and supposedly there are drivers for using ps3 controllers on windows 7? Let's get some reverse engineering going on this bad *****, I know I would love to see this!

Totally possible to get the PS3 controller working.

Would require a custom bluetooth stack, custom kernel with usb-host mode to do the initial pairing, then finally pairing it with the custom bluetooth stack.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aejt:
This would really be amazing. The wiimote ain't that great for playing many emulators unless you connect a classic controller to it.

Cobaltikus said he'll look into porting his CobaltController (Dual Shock 3 for WM6) to android about one month ago, so it might happen soon.

If you want the best of both worlds, VaelPak is really cool!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
I agree pretty much with the above. Destroyer is probably my favorite ROM, but right now I'm trying out Savaged-Zen RC1. You need to try a variety of them and just see what fits you.

Minimally, I would recommend trying Miui, VaelPak, Kings Unleashed/MikFroyo/Warm, and some Gingerbread AOSP ROMs (CM7, Savaged-Zen, Destroyer, SalvageMod, etc.).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyke24:
I was an unleashed fan, so i can see the appeal. King dose make a fast stable Rom. I just didn't like all the themed app icons, and then having to uninstall and install the app again just to updated. And all the setting up of the ext and movement of the app to it, with the cm Roms a2sd is built in and you can have them auto to the external, i have 31 downloaded app and only 73 mb of internal used. Also with the theme pack from version one of destroyer you have access to changing the theme on the fly and not having to boot into recovery and flashing the theme zip, wireless tether is also built in. I use multi mount for connection to my computer since i have all my app on the card. I could tell you everything i enjoy about this Rom, I'm hoping that mag gets the Evo 3d and builds a destroyer for it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Max:
i think miui is great but i got the phantom voicemail icon that seems to be plaguing everone..

but my fav non sense rom is definitely destroyer v2 but i felt like a little change of pace and am on vaelpak right now..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
The phantom voicemail fix is HERE i've personally done it myself and it does work.

I'm the same way, I like originality with my phone. Best thing for you to do if find a rom you like and see what customization zips it offers. I tell every Myn's since it lists a ton of mods on the thread (click my red signature banner) and Konikub's Rom as well offers nice customizations to make the phone "unique".

edit: oh and of course MikFroyo

Kewl, ill give that rom a try on my next rom install. So far I'm. Liking kings unleashed dark rom. But a channge is in the works soon everything mostly in black and white gets boring quick, and I already tried the blue ballah theme like it as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
cm7 is my preference. it has everything i need and everything i want and everything i dont need all packaged in one. there are so many options, and it is CRAZY fast and i get FANTASTIC battery. destroyer (1 and 2) are just themed versions of cm7. try cm7 or destroyer. and if you dont like the look of cm7, keep in mind there is a one click theme changer built in.

a list of every rom i would try. KEEP IN MIND YOU DONT KNO A ROM UNTIL YOU HAVE RUN IT FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS WITH HEAVY USAGE, OR A DAY WITH MEDIUM TO LOW USAGE.

try :

cm7: aosp base, biggest dev project on xda. spans across many phones. most popular rom (probably) over all xda. seriously cool. try it try it try it.

miui: also aosp base. also spans across quite a few phones. this is much more custom than cm7. it looks and feels like a combo between android and iphone. some people like it, some people dont. some people love it. some people get 4 days of battery life on it. try it to see where you stand.

myn's warm twopointtwo: very popular sense (stock) based. dark themed. fast. customizable. good battery. again, was crazy popular. has sort of lost popularity cuz myn stopped updating ("if i cook froyo anymore, it will burn :)" -myn) but if it's new for you, it can still be really cool.

mikfroyo: another popular sense based. fast. compressed. fast. customizable. i'm not a fan but many are.

android creative syndicate: this team has released a few roms. ultra unleashed and koni's elite. try at least one if not both. they are very good themers (you can tell they like black) and take rom building seriously.

you dont need to try this next one, but it is the perfect in-between.

vaelpek rom is sense based, but stripped down as much as possible to be pretty much senseless. you will get a little of that sense sluggyness and high memory, but not much. the dev does a great job making this the rom for all who want a perfect in-between with everything working but as littel sense as possible.

also reccomended: one of the desire z ports (mik z or myn's warm z). salvage mod: stock gingerbread.

any others to add?

hope this helps you make your decision.
