I want to go backwards (I am on 9.5 and battery life sucks).

How do I go from 9.5 to 9.4? Can I just download 9.4 and use the Darky's Rom Configurator and install it the same way I went from 9.4. to 9.5?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Logseman:
9.4 was deprecated due to heavy issues. The previous stable one is 9.3. You can install it with Darky's configurator, indeed.

Hi All,

I managed to root my tattoo, with many thanks for users palimpala and wormix500. Currently running on ROM nFinityGB 0.93.

Is there a BIG BIG keyboard for the tattoo which we can use on this ROM? Can we put the file into sdcard and install? After root there is no more Android Marekt in the Tattoo.

Thank you.
[Click General] sunitknandi:
No Android Market? Did you flash the gapps package? You need to do that.

Regarding the keyboard, you can look for HTC IME for Froyo and Gingerbread in the Android Development section. Download the .apk file and copy it to the SD card. Install it by tapping the file name in the file manager of the phone.
[Click General] tajimura:
I recommend you MessagEase. A lil' bit unusual, but very handy after you get used to it.

I dont know about big big keyboard :) but you need to flash the gapps package as sunitknandi said.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] StrifeSoldierVII:
Hi there. I was just curious as to what music app you can call your main on your Xoom? Is it the stock music app or something else?

Personally my main music app is PowerAMP Premium. It has a sleek interface, many options to configure, a built in equalizer that just makes the songs sound fantastic, an auto download of album art feature, and it allows you to go through your music by the folders you have them in rather than just by album or artist only. It can't get much better than that in my opinion. I only wish it had visualizations much like windows media player on a desktop. Come to think of it... I don't think I have seen a music app on the market that has music visualizations built into it. Is there a such thing right now?

So do you have another music app as your main? Or do you have the same one like I do? Share with us. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PaulG1488:
poweramp is definitely the must have music app for anyone who loves listening to music on their xoom so many features its worth the money

[Xoom Themes and Apps] legendary1022:
Fully agree. Have all my music on my computer anywhere in the world is just too good. If Google does eventually release their cloud service I may switch, but subsonic is just BOSS. I wouldn't recommended it to any not tech user but this is xda...

I got 20gb from Amazon, so I just uploaded all my music to the cloud and I'm using their cloudplayer. Works nicely, although it did take a few days for me to upload 18gigs of music. I don't have much of an upload speed :-/
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sistum Id:
Maybe it's just me, but I'm really digging the tablet music app. On my Nexus One I use PlayerPro.

I really don't use the Xoom for music anyways. I did add about 8 or 9 gb of my favorite music but so far, I hardly make use of it. Only time I listen to music is in my car (Nexus One to car stereo), or when I'm in my home office.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] mancowmilitia:
Definitely Audiogalaxy. It allows me to stream any of the 7,500+ music files (mostly FLAC) on my home PC to any of my android devices.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] futuregerald:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Fourbells:
Power Amp fo sho! Well worth the money!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] StrifeSoldierVII:
So far so good! Lots of good opinions and lots of good options. Some are using PowerAMP, some use a syncing method from computer to device, while others don't have much music and just stream from the internet. Good stuff! Keep 'em coming!

On a side note I do love to stream internet radio all the time. My app of choice for streaming Shoutcast stations is called XiiaLive, which was formerly know as DroidLive. I like the feel and look of it. I heard someone say Pandora as well... gotta love the Pandora!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] DToX69:
What about subsonic? I havent tested it on a xoom but would be nice if someone tried it, you basically turn your pc into the server and your phone can access any songs in the library over a network connection 3G/wifi

Be careful with Pandora. They harvest and sell personal data:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] BBruin66:
Im using Rhapsody. $15 a month unlimited music, 3 mobile devices authorized, (I use it on my OG Droid too) and it shares the library with those devices, and PC. You can download your playlists for offline playback which is great since I don't pay for 3G service on Xoom. Has radio playlists but probably not as good as pandora, but it doesn't steal your identity.

I was using Zunepass, but since this is my main device especially in my car, Zune has become irrelevant. Zune has nicer software, but doesn't have the library media mirroring like Rhapsody.

Not to mention there's no way to use it on an android device.

Since I too own very little music, rental services are great. I got scared by illegal downloads back when my University started identifying students to the RIAA (down and up speeds were unreal on campus, esp. after hours, they eventually capped them after I left) and they were being sued for $3000 per song! I figured the risk wasn't worth the reward.

I use stock music app on the xoom. And doubletwist on my nexus one. I like doubletwist for its stability and simpleness.

it is a Samsung PV210 1Ghz processor.

is there a way to upgrade it's android version or install a costume ROM?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
I read wondering if anyone figured out, or streamlined a way to change the splash screen. I am sure I could fire up adb, and follow the guides for the EVO using ffmpeg, but I know it would take a bit of time.

Is there a android python port? I'd love that...but I am slowly learning java... so hopefully soon.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Check the theme and app section. There's like 2 threads about custom splashes. One by iriscience and the other by true blue drew.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] syntropic:
Thank you! Though before I saw your reply, I decided to "teach myself to fish" instead of just being given one. I went through the whole creation of a splash in photoshop, the conversion of this file to .img, and then ran "fastboot flash ..." in ADB. Worked great, and my splash turned out great--in photoshop at least. For some reason probably having to do with the particular colorspace on the glacier, and/or the colorspace used when ffmpeg converts the image (and probably some college level physics), because while everything looked great in photoshop, when the image boots up, the hue is way off.

I did find some xda threads on a script someone had written and he provided some sample images to use for a custom splash, and they looked good but they also would look good if the hue shifted (e.g. One photo said "MyTouch 4g Rooted", and showed a rather hot girl...with blue hair... She still looked good and I didn't even notice this until I looked closer at his pictures to see if the starting hue was different.

So I will have to quantify the color shift somehow and then change it in photoshop so it comes out looking right when it comes up as the splash. But it was fun.

Make sure that when you do your own that the image size is 480x800.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmdub:
Yes, it uses VNC. It is used since there are no video drivers available for Linux on this platform, which is difficult due to the lack of code/documentation from Qualcomm. Ubuntu is actually running on the phone's hardware through a chroot shell, and VNC connects to the local host via a socket connection to provide the display. Just a way for the display to be displayed, if you will.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] totalanonymity:
I am starting from scratch. I've taken an introductory Visual Basic course in college thus far, as far as any sort of "programming" might go. So, pretty much scratch.

I've read around that learning Java and C++ is a good way to begin.

But, how should I go about that? I'd prefer not to take courses, as those cost money, which I'm a bit lacking in.

Any websites anyone recommends for tutorials on either?

Any recommended books?

If using old books, do those work just fine? Say, using a book based on Java 5. Are there that many new features implemented in Java 6 that I should make sure I seek out a Java 6 book instead of an older, yet at the library, Java 5 book?

Really, any helpful information that anyone can provide about how to go about it. Yes, I could just go out and blindly learn either topic, but I do trust the seasoned developers that are here, especially in the Evo forum!

Thanks for any and all help ahead of time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Java's what you need to know. Unless you're getting into lower level development (apps using the NDK, or kernels/system level stuff), you won't need C++. Regular android development is done using Java. It gets compiled a little differently than Java, but the language itself is Java.

Once you've got a core understanding of Java, developer.android.com has articles and the SDK documentation.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] untz:
Brand new Galaxy Tab bought by one of the employees where I work. I've set up his Exchange account and everything work fine - except we cannot see his subfolders under Inbox. I have tried to set up my own account on the same device, AND yet another account from another user on the same device. We have no problem viewing the subfolders.

However, this will not work for this specific user.

When we press the Inbox folder to open subfolders, all we get is a message saying "Opening messages" and then nothing happens.

If I try to select one or more emails to move to folder, the email process hangs with the "email.process.com.andorid.com has shut down unexpectedly"

Any idea what causes this nightmare??

Is there a setting on the Exchange server itself doing this?

Hello 999phonebug! :)

Thank you for your tip. When I was looking for the software to use for syncing, I used website you recommended. Based on information there I’ve chosen Android-Sync and MyPhoneExplorer. They really should sync my data without sending it to google. But there’s a problem: if I don’t provide information about my google account, calendar doesn't let me to create any event. When I connect phone to computer and run MyPhoneExplorer it doesn’t sync nothing. When I run Android-Sync it says: “Warning: Default calendar not found on this Android device. Please fix this issue to enable the calendar sync function.” I could just provide gmail info and create google account and it would all work fine, but then (once connected to network) it would sync with google again. Creating account, synchronizing and then deleting account in my phone is not an option too as phone won’t let me delete that account. Is there any solution for that? Something I cannot see? Thanks in advance for any advice! :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 999phonebug:
You can disable calendar sync by going into the account details. That should do.

Or if you've rooted, you can altogether delete the calendar sync adapter from /system/app
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] google-the_big_brother:
I have tried to disable synchronization by changing account settings. I went to Settings -> Accounts -> selecting google account and there are options: “Sync Calendar”, “Sync Contacts” and “Sync gmail”. None of them can be disabled. Rooting the mobile is the last option for me, because I have it only 5 days now and I don’t know much about such things. Also I don’t want to lose warranty (I guess the process is irreversible, right?). But it’s good to know there’s any way how to solve this situation. If there’s nothing else, I’ll have to choose whether to loose warranty or life without being able to sync my calendar. Tough choice… :( Do you know whether my problem could be solved by official Android 2.2, which should be released very soon? I'm very grateful to you for trying to help me...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunno:
That's odd, I can deselect "Sync Calendar" in my account settings page
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diggedy:
Im going to respond to this thread seriously in the hope that it isnt a wind up, because thats how it reads

maybe im missing something but the only way to wirelessly sync a calendar to your phone is to have your calendar on a server such as exchange, yahoo, google etc.

there are some apps you can pay for which will sync with any calendar but I have looked into them. they are available in the market, but seeing as you dont like this it may be an issue

Sorry, I know im going to sound like a pigheaded troll which I always try to avoid being but in your own words...

"Why did you buy android phone if you don’t want to use all google applications?"

Its a google phone, its made by google and its based around their services. Why not get a windows 7 phone and its likely your problems are solved, even my old nokia n95 would sync with outlook without a google account. You could even try HP (palm), blackberry or good old symbian. Its like youve got a deep hatred for google and then for some unknown reason gone and bought the ONLY phone operating system made by them as part of some sadistic way of trying to make your own life difficult.....

honestly I would consider selling, yes its a tough little phone but there are cases to toughen the weaker ones.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimboXXX:
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync over USB, it works well. The phone will not auto sync with the Google calender unless you go into the 'MyCalenders' option and then it will start syncing.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] google-the_big_brother:
Hi everyone and thanks for replies...:)

Stunno, according to what you say, it seems, that this could be ROM dependent problem. Info about my phone:

System version: Blur_version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Basdeband version EPU93ST2_U_03.0A.01

Kernel version: 2.6.29

Build number: JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1

Maybe updating to official Android 2.2 (once released) would solve the problem. (?)

Diggedy, I don't need to find an application for syncing. Adnroid-Sync and MyPhoneExplorer seem to be OK. But the problem is that calendar won't let me work unless I create an account. It cannot be exchange and when it's google, it sends all my events to google calendar which I don't want it to. And as for the google Android phone: This is the only phone that has everything I need from it. You are right about protective cases, but if I can have mobile (smartphone to be correct) which is so well made so it can defy (:D) dust and water, I prefer such phone. And except this google issue, there is absolutely nothing I could charge the phone with. And the last reason: I don't want to give up so easily, especially now when it seems this problem can be solved. Anyway, thanks for your reply and for being nice to me even though our opinions differ. :-P

SimboXXX, my phone tries to sync as soon as I connect to wi-fi (Edge and others are disabled). It's strange how same model can act differently. Maybe it again depends on ROM version etc.

Here is my recent progress: I obeyed the advice from website mentioned at my previous post. You can find there: “Put the "Power control" widget (in Downloaded Widgets) on the screen and it has a button to en/disable sync. Enabling sync in the widget brings the check boxes back.” So I enabled sync in the widget and than went to Settings -> Accounts -> selecting google account and there were options: “Sync Calendar”, “Sync Contacts” and “Sync gmail” each with checkbox to enable or disable! Hurray!!! :D

Then I unchecked all those checkboxes to make sure nothing is going to by synchronized and started testing. I created some events in my calendar. Then I disabled and enabled sync button at the Power control widget. It didn't affect the account settings, all checkboxes remained unchecked. I also restarted phone and turned wi-fi on. Then I checked google calendar, and no events were there.

Then I installed calendar snooze to extend calendar functions. I enabled and disabled sync button few times at the Power widget and turned wi-fi on and off few times. And all my events appeared in the google calendar! :mad: So I suspect application “calendar snooze” for being responsible for the background sync... Unfortunately I cannot be sure. Checkboxes for “Sync Calendar”, “Sync Contacts” and “Sync gmail” at the google account settings remain unchecked. When I saw all my events synchronized I changed some at my phone and again started enabling and disabling sync button (at the Power widget) and wi-fi and the phone itself too. But no change as for those events at my google calendar (meens no synchronization took place so far). I guess I'll have to test it all again.

However at least I know about the magical sync button at the Power widget. :)
