[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
I'm looking for a way to sync my music, and would love it to be through itunes, but I can use other methods.

The one thing most important to me is that there be an option similar to the check marks itunes uses. I have a library that is 20gb, and only an 8gb card. So I want to be able to go through and select the songs that I want to sync without the hassle of making 100 playlists.

I dropped 5 dollars on doubletwist, only to learn there was no option to select what I wanted to sync. It told me I was over capacity, and asked if I wanted to make a random playlist to fill up my phone! Ughhhh, It was infuriating... now I want to try isyncr, but don't want to spend more money only to learn that this option isn't available.

So any suggestions :D ? Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakeboys:
huh... sounds like isyncr would probably work or check out TuneSync. I think that one deals with itunes. Plus its a lite version thats free in the market, only 20 songs max but at least you'll know if it'll work for ya.

What is the best kernel to use with the cm7 nightlies? I am just using the kernel that comes with it. Also should I wipe battery stats at all?
[Droid Incredible General] phaze one:
I use incredikernel. It runs great with cm7 and has fast charging. Its a good idea to wipe your battery stats and wipe your dalvik when you flash kernels. I'm running the #31 nightly btw.
[Droid Incredible General] mkeaneaz:
Thanks for that. I will install kernel now
[Droid Incredible General] J2theMatt:
Chad's got a preview of his new kernel, works GREAT!
[Droid Incredible General] drk.hd:
I'd say go with Incredikernel.

Update: Found the sneaky NC hiding under the computer stand in the basement. Not sure how she ended up there, but happy whoever the little thief was in the house put it somewhere I could find it... after searching for hours!:rolleyes:

Had the NC in the house last night and it has magically gone missing as of this AM. Wife and kids said they dont have it so not sure what to think. In any case, I need to figure out if there is anything I can do to remove the amazon link to my 1-click credit card info that was on it for the amazon store and get my gmail/yahoo auto password off of there too? My guess is maybe not to the three above but thought it was worth a question. If its going to fall in the wrong hands I would prefer they dont have easy access to our emails and also be able to buy stuff on amazon or the amazon market with my CC. Its a stock NC with autonooter 3.0.

If it is in the house, is there any way to track it down with the wifi?

Might just be jumping the gun on this whole deal, but want to be prepared!
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
check the fridge (don't ask) and under the couch.

with the nook sleeping it's not connected to wifi and with no built in gps/3g it cannot be tracked.

log into amazon and deregister the device to prevent purchases if it is (gasp) stolen
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
LOL on the fridge comment.. h'm i wondder if you are connected to wifi and latitude if your location can be seen by your friends
[Nook Color General] miniaturepeddler:
Run, don't walk to your other computer and change your password to your email and your amazon accounts.

If you find the Nook, then simply change the passwords back.
[Nook Color General] dvcbwvfans:
checked the fridge... not there! Went into app store and turned off one click. Saw the option to deregister, but then noticed it said would not be able to use the same device again for market if deregister? Hoping it shows back up in the house so was bit concerned with doing that. Guess I shouldnt worry about that though at this point.
[Nook Color General] dvcbwvfans:
updated passwords on google, yahoo and amazon. also disabled 1 click on amazon. hopefully that should be good for now. Any other tips/suggestions would be appreiciated
[Nook Color General] sabinblitz:
Just out of curiosity, if the NC ended up being stolen AND said person tried buying a book or item via wifi, couldn't you just report it as stolen and they could track what wifi network the purchase came from?
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
glad you found it,.and that it wasnt in the fridge
[Nook Color General] Pinoy8125:
This is what happens when you use your nook alot without doing house works first.
[Nook Color General] dvcbwvfans:
Yes, I think I may install On-Star so I can track it next time :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
hi, im using CM7 and i installed the new swype update, how can i theme the app, so the background is black and the letter blue for example?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
I'm a beginner at this, but if you can pull the /assets/keyboards folder out of the apk by using winrar or 7-zip, and you have something like photoshop or illustrator, etc, then you can go bonkers with the image files in there.

when you are done editing it then shove it back in the appropriate place in the apk.

Note that I am not on CM7, but I *think* it should be the same...?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
i already did it, thanks a lot!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Cool! Let me know if you have a way of changing the trace color. I've got that question posted in other threads, but while I'm doing my own reading, can't hurt to ask too many people, too. :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
man i dont know, how to do that, but i wanted to do a sype theme for my honeycomb theme so i dont mind the blue trace color, but if your find out remember to tell me ;-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] studacris:
I have no idea how to do it, but I can tell you its located in the libswypecore.so file in /system/lib if that helps any?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
man i only know how to work with Photoshop, im not very experiences in more complicated stuff! lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
i dont understand i had my swype theme working out in my phone and i reboot my phone and now it doesnt appear? i dont understand, how did you did it man?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Yep, just can't identify the line yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Not sure what to tell you except that I modified a working swype from a custom rom and the theme stock after reboot.

Did you modify a beta swype directly? I'm not sure if that would even have been the problem, but had to ask.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
i modified the new version the one that you need to install the swype installer and then through that app you get swype, that swype isnt in system/app, is in data/app
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
I don't even know if this will work. For all I know it could mess things up, big warning there.

Could you try to move that to /system/app and rename as Swype.apk (if it hasn't been done already --- not even sure that's necessary)?

...or even better...grap the Swype.apk and libSwypeCore.so file from a working custom ROM and use those and drop your own keyboard images on that one. That's what I did and it works for sure.

EDIT: Gonna be slow in responding for a bit. Getting dragged out of the house to Home Depot. Uggghhhh.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
In order to theme the swype tail, you need to decomplie the apk. Then you edit res/values/colors. You will see

xxxxxx being your hex color. Recompile and swype!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Thanks a bunch! Now gotta read up on compiling/decompiling. :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
im using CM7 so i dont know if a swype from a 2.2 rom work, do you think it will work?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hernan078:
i cant find the folder res/values/colors? im using the new swype
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:
You have to decompile the apk using apktool first.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] illmac:
one question, swype is natively installed on captivates...how come the "trial period ended" when using custom roms?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Do what Nunhugger said. It worked like a charm!

Is it possible to have the stock camera on CM7?

because the CM7 camera looks good... but it just doesn't have all the options that the stock has, and i really need those...

How would i get that? and would it work on CM7?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Try using the one from the double rainbow on and push it to the rom
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
thanks im trying that out right now.

Yeah i don't think their compatible at all.

I replaced the camera.apk from double rainbow with mine (i made a backup of mine duh) and rebooted 2 times.

There's no camera app now haha
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Oh sorry bout that

I think since its aosp

Try downloading a third party camera
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
*bump* i really need this, and i think i just lost my CM7 camera too... and i backed up the apk -.-

@alan

Can you recommend some that give the same things as the stock one?

Like save to SDCARD

and all those different effects?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Vignette and camera 360 its free and gives the hdr effects and has zoom

The brightness option is disabled in the video player if "auto brightness" in enabled in system settings.

Go to your home screen and then menu, setting, display

Change the brightness then go back to the video

[Vibrant General] jdm4u:
there have been other threads just like this though. You could've taken the time to search. I think there was one in the Q&A section about the whereabouts of Team Whiskey. And if you dont find your answers here, you can always check on Team Whiskey's Forums. So far they haven't dropped a new ROM or anything, just working on FFC from what i read on their forum and last time they posted here they mentioned they were working on 2.3 for the vibrant. Considering the fact that the only 2.3 leaks available out now are for the i9000, i dont see a stable 2.3 ROM for the vibrant being released from them anytime soon. It's going to take a while seeing from the current 2.3 roms we have so far. Honestly i'm not expecting anything stable until we get an official 2.3 for the vibrant.
[Vibrant General] |Melvin|:
well i think samsung wont drop a 2.3 rom this days as i know them...remember before..they dropped 2.2 because people noticed that they wouldnt drop it before vibrant 4g came out..they suck when talking about updates

[Vibrant General] thegreatcity:
Stop man, you're just adding to the unneeded drama around here. I usually love your posts but we've really got to stop drawing lines in the sand over such petty things. Both teams are great, and manage things differently (and even that's not gonna be so different anymore). Im a Bionix user, and I've been wanting to try some EDT roms, Im just not as flash happy as I used to be. So if it works the way I feel it should, I don't see any reason to keep flashing. I used to though, so I understand the people that do. But we've really got to stop bashing one team or the other.

Im not talking about you when I say this dligon, but with people around here its: so much to criticize, so little to contribute.

Also CM simply is not an option at its current state for people like me, who use GPS daily. I used CM exclusively on my G1, so I know how great it is, but I didn't crack open my phone for the hardware fix for nothing.
[Vibrant General] Jerzeeloon:
well said, infact ironically,som just posted on the team whiskey facebook page that he is indeed working on an update to bionix and something new,and that he also said he won't be posting it on xda.I can't elaborate on his decision,but I do support it,xda has become a safehaven for trolls and flamers.

Anyone know where the amazon app store stores all the .apk and other data. This is probably obvious but sometimes we are all a little retarded
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I would think it would need to be in /data/app to run, but I could be wrong. The apps may also be in /data/app-private

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
In the end, there's really no difference between the Amazon app store and any other method of sideloading an app. The app gets installed just like any other.

Data will be in /data/data. App will be in /data/app, or in an encrypted container stored under /sdcard/.android_secure and mounted under /mnt/asec if it's been moved to the SD card. Some apps also show up in /data/app-private, though I'm not sure what's determining that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdmitchell13:
I was wondering the same thing, When Amazon Downloads apps, where does it store the data(before it is installed)..... because when I uninstall an app, amazon still has it downloaded and stored... but where??? Ive looked on Sd card, but nothing... I just hope it doesn't take and use up all my data for apps I DL, but uninstall
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If I used it & felt like giving out card info for free apps, I'd look further into it. Why do you use the Amazon App Store as opposed to the market? Is there anything I'm missing out on except for the free paid apps each day?

And I'm confused by your explanation of app downloads. Are you saying Amazon downloads the apps, then you have to choose install from the notification bar (or something similar)?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Apps in /data/app-private are considered "protected". Backup apps (without root access) cannot backup these apps. The developers don't want the .apks easily accessible to everyone (for whatever reason).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatchubyboy:
If you get the app from the amazon app store on your phone just because it's the free app of the day, but you don't have intention of installing the app and using it right away, amazon still downloads the .apk on to your phone on the sd card, under /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.venezia/cache
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchasse:
Yes, that's it exactly. Thanks!

This is aprticularly useful for Android owners on AT&T so we can get the free app and asave the apk and then use Android Injector or similar to sideload.

For those doing this, you must grab the APK from this folder before you download the next app since it seems it removes the previous download when downloading the next app.

I download it, grab it from my phone to my PC and then sideload it from there. Annoying, but until AT&T release their deadly grip on my phone's ability to install from other sources, this is the only way.

It'd be nice if you could download the APK directly from Amazon's pc-based webiste, but oh well there too.

I am not rooted for those that were curious and am running a stock ROM on my Motorola Atrix -- I know this is wrong forum, but it came up for my Google search and I figure it will help others doing the same.

Angry birds not in data/app?

Sort of along this topic.. I am aware no matter how the app is installed, it's typically in data/app data/app-private, or possibly system/app folders. However I've noticed recently that I cannot view the apk files for any angry birds games regardless of how they're installed, whether it be amazon app store or android market. I've been backing up the apps I purchase, or the 1 free app a day from the amazon market, however I cannot locate any of the angry birds games? I've done some searching for this and haven't been able to come across a reason or explanation. I am rooted, I typically use ES File Explorer on the phone or Droid Explorer on the computer.

Edit: I did end up finding out my problem (user error). As they automagically move to the sd card, they were not showing in the data app folder. I moved them all back over to the phone, rebooted, backed up the apk from the data/app, then put them back on the sd card. I tried to move them initially, but they weren't showing until I rebooted.

How would one take advantage of this with an app that is from the Play Store as well?

Allow me to explain...

I LOVE Jetpack Joyride. I have it originally on my iPhone 3GS. When I switched to Android with the Galaxy SII (i777; AT&T), I wanted it. Bad. It finally came but first through the Amazon App store. I immediately downloaded it, despite my disdain for the Amazon app. Well now Jetpack Joyride is available through the Play Store and I'd like to use it through there just with the way updating works (auto as opposed to Amazon's clunk, terrible app where I have to go in a basically sideload it). Is there a way to keep the save data from JJ that I have from Amazon and copy it to the right spot so if I were to have gotten JJ from the Play Store, that it could access it and I could just continue swimmingly? I've already installed JJ from both spots at the same time and the Play Store version (gotten after) starts from 0% where as the Amazon version holds all of my achievements, etc. It sounds possible in my head (and I know I've done it for things like PC games in the past) but I'm not as familiar with the file structure of Android as I am with Windows. Appreciate any advice even if it is just suck it up and stick with JJ through Amazon and not worry about it (it really isn't a big deal).
