[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
when I change roms I always just before flashing do a export of contacts via (contact/menu/import,export) after flashing I just import my contacts and all is well.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I've had this problem with 2 android phones, but not all of them. I ended up going through the contacts settings and hitting display for ALL, insteas of just favorite (or the default option). It seemed to work after that.

I think the problem is when adding contacts, when you save them to the phone, sync erases them when syncing contacts from the google account. A major flaw in my book.
[Epic 4G General] wis3m0nkey:
hmm,

I'll try few things and let u guys know if something fixes it :)

Looks like exporting and importing them back seems a good option

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I had to restore them from an sd card export then restore contact data from Titanium to get the ringtones and pics back, then it stuck after that. Before that it was a fight to keep the contacts on.

So, when you get them all there, export to sd card then import them back and then restore the titanium data for them.
[Epic 4G General] wis3m0nkey:
I never restored contacts from titanium but sounds like a good option :)
[Epic 4G General] wis3m0nkey:
so apparently it was lookout and thankfully they have restore option, I need to restore 1084 :-o contacts
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboyke:
Hi,

I've rooted my HTC Desire HD and cuz i want to have louder volume.

The program "Louder Volume Hack 4.0" says that i need an custom rom installed so i tried to install it.

I putted the rom (.zip file) on my sd and did this:

I've got Clockmodrecovery on my DHD

- ROM Manager

- Reboot into recovery

- Recovery, Open update.zip or somethin like that.

Than i get the error: "Invalid Operation" and the DHD reboots.

Could someone help me please?

I also use the ENG S-OFF program anywhere here on the forum, dont know the exact name anymore lol.

Thanks!

You have to choose "install zip from sd" and then "choose zip from sd" ;)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboyke:
I don't see that option? The only options i see are:

- Reboot system now

- Apply sdcard:update.zip

- Wipe data/factory reset

- Wipe cache partition

thx for fast reaction!

You do not have clockworkmod recovery. Flash it using Rom manager.

I have moved to the thunderbolt, but love the desk clock from the droidx with the ability to touch anywhere on the screen and snooze the alarm, but also able to clear the notification from the notification bar to cancel the alarm. Is there anyway to export this so it will work on the thunderbolt?
[Droid X General] zanix:
The Motorola clock relies on parts of blur to function, so I'm not sure it's possible to use on the Thunderbolt

What's up guys?

So, my almost 4 years old toshiba laptop is dying (dropped 3 times lol..and the connection where the adapter goes is getting loose)

So, I want my next laptop to be 3d ready, I was looking into it and it seems there is 2 kinds of 3d laptops, the passives that uses polarized glasses and the ones that uses the active shuter glasses...

which one would you recommend?

here are few of many that i have seen so far

the passive

the active

well....my current laptop is dying..lol..cant live without one because I work for IT

I wish i could wait 2-3 years..

I currently own a finepix w3 the "real 3d" with autostereoscopic glasses-free screen and I think 3d technology that uses glasses is way better
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
i dont think lappy is the way to go for a powerhouse , their gpus and cpus dont come near the desktop counterparts other than the branding .... for example a gtx480 desktop is more than 50%(!) faster than a gtx485m ... same with cpus corny 1.8-2.4ghz's you cant oc labelled i7 whereas the real ones go easily above 4ghz .. over two times the power and prolly still cheaper ... really it is a ripoff , its bragging rights for fools nothing else

if id be buying anything it'd be this one

http://www.google.com/products/cata...sa=X&ei=FxOeTbsgzcSzBtzN1ZwE&ved=0CDIQ8wIwAw#

vaio dual core amd with a real gpu ... dirt cheap ... yes please
[Off-topic] Leviuqse:
well i already have a notebook..and i dont really like it..way too small for me..anything smaller than 13 is too small..

thanks for the input...

so im guessing no one is interested in 3d laptops at the moment..lol

Total noob question, is it safe to overclock? If I use setCPU to slow the processor down once it gets over a certain temperature will I be okay? I am just worried about melting the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
I use setcpu I keep my Max frequency at 1157 and my min frequency and around 422 that way my phone doesn't have to use much power if it doesn't need to. I usually run the smartass governor or conservative. Its very safe as the kernels wont let you clock past speeds that would overheat your phone.

[Android Apps and Games] Sembazuru:
Not being an actual developer I may have some details off, but...

I think Google implemented an app authentication API that checks with the mothership when you run a program to see if your Google account is authorized to run the app.

I ran into an issue with this (I really should let the developer know, don't know if it was an issue of the API, or their implementation) with Locus Pro. I had been using the free app for a while and decided that I liked the app enough to throw some dough towards the developer. So, I purchased and downloaded the Pro version and immediately threw it on the SD card (Moto Droid1, <256M for apps... need every Meg I can get...). First time I tried to run the program it started up and then popped up a notification stating that I wasn't authorized to use the app. I moved it back onto the phone and ran it again. This time it worked. Then I moved it back to the SD card and haven't had an issue since. I'm hoping that the app doesn't decide to check with the mothership next month (when I'll be heavily using it) while I'm in Sweden w/o a data connection.

What about all of those tablets that don't have the Market installed? Surely these Apps can be sideloaded and there would be no way to check the validity of these Apps.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
What is this?

I am trying to learn how to port themes. I need your help.

Here is the theme I am trying to port: MattedBlue

I have solicited help from a couple of people and I think I now have the basics. I'm going to use this thread to ask more questions and eventually use it for the theme. If I am asking dumb questions, perhaps it will benefit and/or motivate others.

What I've done so far:

I have downloaded the stock theme zip for bi-winning

I have downloaded the MattedBlue theme (sadly, on my only attempt I used a version for the Evo, not the Fascinate... trying again tonight with this version).

I have used 7Zip to open both zips and the framework-res.apk

I have navigated to the drawable folders in each

I moved ALL files from the theme drawable folder, to the respective drawable folder of the stock theme zip... essentially a mass move/replace. I have since learned THIS may have been my issue.

I then closed everything up, uploaded the zip, flashed it... odd thing is it worked SORTA, the only image that changed (that I can recall) was the notification bar looked like the CM7 one... so, some progress, but the other 700+ images were still stock bi-winning.

I have been informed to move over the images in smaller batches and to try again, paying attention to the images more closely.

Questions:

I didn't see how I need to repackage/sign the zip... is that even needed?

Once I opened the framework-res.apk it created a folder/archive in 7zip... do I need to do something with that after I moved all the images over?

I ONLY touched framework-res.apk, not twframework-res.apk (because on my first attempt I was using mattedblue for the HTC Evo) and that was not in the theme obviously... NOW I am going to attempt the Fascinate port which I believe does have both framework.apk's.... perhaps that was also my problem?

How do I go about theming the system apps (the theme has this already), is it the same process for apps?

Thoughts:

This has been a great learning experience

It does seem easier than I first thought.... but also incredibly eye-opening at the talent/time some of you guys have. I can NOT imagine doing this from scratch.. porting is good starting point.

The android community is amazing. Everyone I have asked for help, has done so with open arms. I love that about our community, and it is one.

Would like to especially thank JunkDruggler, Birgertime and shreddentyres.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
Alright first things first. Do you hate Samsung yet for making a separate twframework-res where they basically duplicated images? It's awesome, isn't it?

Next, that's the thing: a lot of the elements in the system drop down ARE in the twframework-res, and others are peacefully still in framework-res. It's a scavenger hunt of finding images 99% of the time. It's great.

Porting a theme from a Galaxy S ROM would be much easier than a NS or any other AOSP rom because you'd have to match up images yourself and go through a lot of trouble and a LOT of time.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
ive never had to resign a flashable zip, normally i just pull the metainf folder out of the rom or another theme and modify the update script to suit my needs.

the reason 7zip is creating an archive is that apk's actually use the same file headers as .zip files which is why we are able to unpack apks just like we would unpack a zip. as such once you have completed your image editing you will want to rezip the folders using 7zip then rename to .apk

as for the issue with the evo version there is actually quite a bit of images that are handled by the twframework. the tab colors, color selection, pull down menu etc. personally i find it annoying that samsung broke it up this way but o well. if you want to build off the original cm7 theme it is doable. you will just have to meticulously go through the twframework and framework to make sure you copy the correct images, and may even have to modify some extra images that arent provided to fit the theme.

Cheers
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Mr. Apocalypse:
May i add an important tip??

DON'T RE-SIGN ANYTHING.......ESPECIALLY if its going in the /system/ directory....when re-zipping an apk....use the option that retains the current signature...

Just a tip
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Okay, I feel like using the fascinate port tonight will yield a lot more success.... it just seems like moving the images over and rezipping is ONE part of it... once I get that right I will need to figure out how to do the phone dialier, etc... is that the same process then, or can I Just take the themed .apk from the fascinate and replace the system app?

Hmm... actually, the stock bi-winning theme zip would not have those system app files, or does it? I HATE not being able to do this from my work pc.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Romanbb:
System apps are similar. Dialer is in DialerTabActivity, Phone is in Phone. All done similarly
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] shreddintyres:
you could try just using the applications from the fascinate theme worst case scenario you get a bootloop, but most likely you will just get some fc's

personally i would go through and modify the phone.apk and other applications on your own for a couple reasons.

1. it will give you more practice

2. it is much more satisfying

3. the modded files are much more likely to work.

normally the way i test is just by using root explorer to move my modded files into the correct directories as i work on them. i dont flash through cwm recovery until everything is ready to go and im ready to post. also heed Senior Apocalipsis's advice i learned that one the hard way.

I changed the usb setting to connect in USB mass storage mode but i am facing a very slow usb connection it takes over 5 mins to show the phone connected, may be some driver issue (it connects instantly in kies mode)

Now I can use the home screen & it does remain connected.

So I assume kies connection locks the phone & there is no way I can use the home screen at that time & would have to unplug & replug it.
