Is there any other way? I guess I can try this from now on and see how it works for me. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jalshah05:
When you do the initial setup, you can uncheck the option for automatic restore... that will deffinately work....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
This

You can also go into the my apps tab in the market and stop individual apps from downloading, you gotta be quick though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
ive never seen an option to turn off automatic restore in initial setup. other than in the settings menu AFTER the setup which doesnt help. also wasnt there some issue where if you didnt do the initial setup it cause problems on the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
nevermind......
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cthach11:
*Off the top of my head

After a factory reset, sign in, uncheck a box that allows backing up to your gmail account. If you read the description, it would tell you that the "backup" will be restored if you decide to get another phone. (This screen should be after the screen with two check boxes. Don't zoom through it, you just might miss it lol)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
I uncheck that box every time, but it still attempts to reinstall things. I think it is because I once backed up when the feature was first available. I especially think that because it downloads apps I quit using when I still had my G1.

Hi guys!

I have a question. I am always on the go and am trying hard to ensure that I have enough battery to last the whole day or at least in places I don't have chargers.

So, is it okay to always charge Android phones & tablets whenever I go or is there a 'guideline' on charging only when hit 20, 30, 50% (for example) to preserve battery life?
[General Questions and Answers] fleurdelisxliv:
i use my tablet alot and i charge it when it gets to 1% i can use it for almost 2 days b4 i charge it i feel like it saves your battery not to charge it so much i could be wrong :)
[General Questions and Answers] zenghaoxuan:
perhaps it is okay
[General Questions and Answers] ErOR22:
It doesn't matter, battery wont overcharge and the battery in all new devices don't have memory issues anymore.

One tip I would suggest is not to completely drain your battery everytime before charging.
[General Questions and Answers] zuzudom:
The latest smartphones batteries don't suffer of memory issues any longer,so you're free to charge them whenever you need or you can,the only advice IMHO is:if you flash kernel,rom, or anything else on your phone be sure to calibrate your battery after,you can do it in RECOVERY or downloading application from the market ie: battery calibrator/calibration (I don't remember)

bye
[General Questions and Answers] Lord Panzer:
You may reduce the battery's long-term lifespan. Batteries last longer if you can keep them between 20-80% charge. Also, they don't like being hot.

i cant flash my HD2 any ROMs or NAND or eaven run task29 all rom flash just stuck to 0% and then comes USB connection error or something else. Im stuck whit energy rom i downloaded a while a go. I use radio 2.15.50.14 and HSPL4 but i shows spl-2.08. When i try flash or use task29 to clean my phone nothing happens.. What should i need to do to make me able to run NAND .... Thanks!!!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
...... yes, go on, the rest of that number is?...

Cos if it says 2.08.0000 then that's stock and wont allow flashing.

[HD2 General] SoonHD2:
would it help to install some different hspl / spl like 3/4 that u have linked? would those allow me to flash ROMs again? or how would i be able to do those? Thanks!
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
it will not only help, it is the only way, since your spl says 2.08.0000 which is stock meaning you DO NOT have hspl installed. Just because you used hspl program to set 2.08.0000, you have installed a stock spl, NOT hspl, so yes, use any hspl (2,3 or 4, doesnt really matter) to change your spl to 2.08.hspl.

There is a ugly way to do that:

test it. You may use dpkg-deb -x anywhere.

It is ugly, but worked for me.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Can someone try flashing this for me? It's what I used to get it working on CM7 so I would hope that it would work for everyone on cm7/miui/sense. It's just swype beta w/ the jvb keyboard, so it SHOULD work. I hope. Maybe not. I might post a screenshot.

EDIT: Ok, I know what I did. You have to install beta, delete JUST the swype app in your /data/apps (NOT uninstall), and then flash it.

Screenshot:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ShadrachCA:
Works great. Thanks for posting. So much better looking than the default Swype theme.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dieselstation:
hmm.. doesn't seem to work for me. i didn't have Swype in my /data folder. I flashed it and they keyboard works, just the swype functionality doesn't.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Thnikk:
Did you have the beta installed?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
I am liking the look of this swype. will it work on JVH? specifically continuum 5.4?

I have been having a tough time finding themed swypes for gingerbread.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
What color specifically?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
generally black/blue colors. either something that goes well with Matted Blues or else something totally black would be best.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Did you want the layout that is the same as the screenshot above, or the one that came with Continuum.

The screenshot is the same layout as version 2.29, which is what you get on Continuum when you sign up for Swype Beta, and the voice recognition works.

The Swype that is included in Continuum is 2.70, and has a different keyboard layout, and the voice does not work. FYI -- I'm currently working (slowly) on theming that one, with a Precision ROM look. That should be done by the end of this week if not earlier.

I currently have the 2.29 layout in MattedBlues that I did for a buddy on Apex 6.x. I tried to push that to Continuum, but it didn't work (maybe because of different build.prop or something --- not an expert when it comes to that), so I'll have to check later to see if I can push the themed images to the Swype Beta version and see if that works. I should know by the end of the day.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
I wasn't aware the layouts were different. I would probably try to use the version with working voice input. I appreciate the response and look forward to hearing about trying it out on continuum.

Also I would consider checking out Apex if it is a comparable rom to continuum and I could get the keyboard I wanted.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
I haven't driven Apex 6.1 myself yet, but it is JVB base vs. Continuum 5.4.1 JVH base, which is supposed to be less buggy.

Watsaa, the dev for Apex, is cool, but he has been tending to other things in his life and hasn't been around for a few weeks. Hope he comes back soon. :-)

Here's a screenshot of the MattedBlues I did for my buddy, complete with the font of his choosing.

The look may not be for everybody, as I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
I tried to take the Swype Beta that loaded for me on Continuum last night (version 2.29) and pushed the keyboard layout into it. However, when I pushed the Swype apk back to the phone it wouldn't work.

Does anyone know how to take the Swype Beta apk and have it working like it does on custom ROMs --- ie where you can just push the separate apk and lib files to the respective folders? I tried this and didn't work, so am seeking expert help. :-)

I think I could get my Apex 6.1 Swype to wor on Continuum if I just changed the build prop, but then I would not see other things in the market, etc.

However, I can confirm that my Swype does work on the latest Mosaiic III release. :-)

PM me if you want that one.

Otherwise, I'm theming the Swype 2.70 version just because I'm a little crazy.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
that is great work! looks amazing. I would love a jvh/continuum version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Almost done with it, hopefully by tonight or tomorrow as I am experimenting a bit with the pop up word choice window.

I do plan on doing the same look for each of the compatible Continuum themes as I keep hopping from one look to the next...if I'm not burned out from my day job. It will only be QWERTY layout for now... :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
when you say "only qwerty" does that mean no voice input? I noticed it isn't in the screenshot you posted.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
The Swype version that I am theming is 2.70, which is what Cezar included in Continuum. You can see the microphone, but voice input has never worked. I hope that gets solved soon.

To get voice, you need to somehow get version 2.29 working on it by signing up for the beta, but you lose the theming, or maybe change the build prop so that it works on Continuum (just a guess as I am not an expert at that).

When I referred to QWERTY, I meant for the key layout.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
I'm signed up for the beta, so this is probably what I'll do. if I decompile the .apks, how hard is it for me to move this theme to the voice-enabled version?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Do you mean get version 2.29 working on Continuum? I tried to decompile/recompile the beta version and push my theme into it, but when I loaded it back, it said that it was built for another device.

If you could get a separate 2.29 swype apk and lib file working on Continuum 5.4.1, let me know how you did it. :-)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tehsam:
I doubt I will have more luck than you, but I will give it a shot. also- what about the file in the OP? will that not work on a JVH rom?

I won't be flashing gingerbread until BLN is brought into talon kernel, so it may be awhile but I'll let you know if I have any success.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tarheelblueboy87:
flexT9 keyboard beats the crap out of Swype. Try it if you haven't. Smooth basic typing and swyping, and a super intuitive interface.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cache83:
What's up everyone! just needed some advice if you don't mind. lately my phone's been freezing randomly, and it seems like my battery life has been getting crappier..

was wondering if I should just Odin back to stock and re-flash everything, do you think that would cure my ills?

I started with my first ROM -- srf1.1.0 and loved it... tried the vision kernel 1.1, tried genocide 1.0... LOVED vision 1.2 but went back to 1.1 because ppl started getting bricks..

i don't know if it's data corruption (have journalling off), or if it's like artifacts from vision kernel 1.2 (it didn't give me any problems, honestly my fav kernel with insane battery life it seemed)

yesterday i restored a back up that was pre-ext4.. and it when that rebooted i had the "android" flashing over the original sprint bootup animation, so i rebooted and got thrown into a boot loop. pulled battery, booted into cwm and restored into a more recent backup that was post-ext4 and things seem to be fine.. except i've gotten maybe two random freezes since.

so yea, do you think Odin to stock and reflashing srf will bring me back to bliss, or.. am i screwed, or somewhere in between? i've read as much as i could but i know i'm a newb, so i'm grateful for any wisdom y'all can throw my way. THANKS!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Yes, it will. You did a number on your data, so it's little wonder things weren't working well for you. If you get freezes, use VisionKernel 1.1 or Genocide.

Most important while figuring out which is best, enable file system journaling by doing a cwm backup and restore right after the clean build. This will help the more unstable phenon from recurring in the future.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cache83:
update: so last night i ODIN'd back to EB13, ODIN'd the EC05 modem, and reflashed SRF1.1.0 and things were great... until i flashed fugutweaks (it seemed like that was the culprit).. then i started getting lots of FCs for gmail mail calendar and google framework...

wiped data/cache/dalvik x3 in cwm and reflashed SRF1.1.0 and things have been good.

can someone confirm this point? --> i think i've learned not to do more than one thing in cwm at a time. like if i fix permissions, then i should reboot before flashing the impaled keyboard tweak, etc.. is that correct? i think i do remember getting lazy before and doing two things in cwm before rebooting, or something like that.

i also think i learned that i can't just replace bootanimation.zip in the SRF1.1.0 .zip file with a different one -- is that because the zip is "signed"?

all in all... i thank all of you guys here -- i'm learning lots and i'm grateful that i have knowledgeable peeps to turn to when i've done something i wasn't smart enough to realize was dumb =)

k0nane -- was there something in specific that you're referring to that I did, which "did a number on my data"? just curious -- i'd like not to repeat that again (although, i'd like also to not have to turn journaling on, lol)

THANK YOU GUYS AGAIN!

I am looking for this type of APP.

A team of us works in 3rd world countries where street addresses are just not the same as back in North America; that is an understatement.

It would be nice to have an APP where I could add a geo point (if that is what they are called) to a map when I go to a location. I could then add a note about that location and the services, etc found there. My colleagues in another cities could also do the same. However, this would all be on one account so that all geo caches could be available to the whole team. When I add a geo cache to my phone it also adds it to their phones.

At the moment if this is only available on Android then it would work. However, some of the team also have iPhones so we would love something for both of these systems.

Look forward to your opinions and suggestions.
