Is this app better than pocket cloud?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] venkatramasamy:
Tonido is not a remote desktop solution like pocket cloud. Think of it as a personal server with alps.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
So its like dropbox

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] venkatramasamy:
Yes it is like dropbox. But the storage is yours - limited by your computer capacity.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] natious:
Can you browse your entire computer or just a selected folders

swyped from a galaxy far far away...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kay_kiat88:
entire. it's an app worth trying.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] venkatramasamy:
You can exclude folders as well

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] FrAsErTaG:
On another forum a couple of us are having a little argument about which launcher has less lag.

The argument is that Sense UI is Smoother then any other replacement launcher out there as they "have no hardware acceleration and there for they are no good and lag and shudder"

so what do you think??

If you have never used Sense UI please DO NOT VOTE.

I personally use Launcher Pro

I have used many many devices, and while sense is cool I prefer "stock" android with launcher pro...

So this is just a quick poll based on which launcher has the "least lag"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shanib:
Launcher pro all The way man...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ciela:
Sense has never lagged for me

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FroztIkon:
First off, Thank you to all the dev's who've put out all the great roms (too many to mention)....

But, as I was reading through some of the most recent releases of roms, I found myself more and more frustrated with confusion. It wasn't the screenshots (thanks, it helps), it wasn't the list of changes/additions/subtractions (that really helps), it was more the complex install info.

I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but why would you go off on a tangent to left field while your writing down how to install something? Can we get a universal install procedure?

Most roms are released within hours and in some cases days of one another. Lets assume that rom a has what newest rom b needs and create something from that. Then if you need to express random thought for the new guy, that could be post #2. I guarentee that most of the people here have flashed and re-flashed and soft bricked and flashed again.

Guess what I'm trying to say is, rom dev's are releasing things that probably no one will use cause they aren't clear and concise on the install procedure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I see your on super nova. Have you looked at Mosaic. I tried to make the directions as simple as i could
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
right now with the recent port of the i9000 2.3.3 things have changed.

and changed very recently.

soon enough there will be an easier, more standard way to upgrade.

but keep this in mind....

what we are doing here is programming a phone. the devs AND YOU!

programming an electronic device is not a simple thing, and is not childs play.

the devs have YEARS of experience in programming to bring us the software,

we need to understand what we are doing in order to do it.

so we need to understand programming.

this cannot be done in 10 minutes by just reading instructions.

and this SHOULD NOT be able to be done in 10 minutes by reading instructions.

there are real risks in doing this, that is why it voids your warranty.

you need to understand what you are doing to be able to do it.

thats why you must LEARN in order to do this.

nobody ever learns with brain-dead instructions.

the more you LEARN first, before flashing, the better your chances at success.

the easier the instructions the easier noobs run into problems! Brick their device or get scared and confused about very simple things that they should have understood first!

so the complexity has a dual purpose, it forces you to go out and LEARN before you do anything AND also provides you with alot of information to start learning

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Nice long post. Although alot of rambling Tru :p but I like your last line :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
As for a standard set of installation instructions, I dont think we will ever see it. Each rom is as unique as the person that developed it, and with that individuality comes an individual requirement for implementation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
ATM some ginger roms are wipes, some arent, this used to be true for all froyo/eclair roms.

that is why we

USED TO

have to flash to stock each time. same now. (for non wipe roms)

that changed! it can again!

as for getting the bootloaders, if you are installing a WIPE rom you dont need to flash the whole i9000 package. Just the bootloaders alone and ONLY ONCE. some roms currently use this method.

other roms that arent wipe roms depend on apps and framework to be there, or might not like other stuff left over that may still be there. so it is necessary to flash back to i9000 stock, this can be done with or without bootloaders if you already have them. but most of the non bootloaders packages have been taken down. once again you only need to get the bootloaders once.

once again all this can change and standardize again. with the following intructions:

from eclair or froyo

1. odin flash GB bootloader and CMW3 kernel in a

single package.

(small 4 MB package!)

2. boot into CWM3 and flash a WIPE ROM.

done and upgraded.

my fastest upgrade was one extra step. the bootloader package had re-orient kernel with no cwm3 so i had to reboot and odin flash talon between step 1 and 2.

still pretty easy with a wipe rom.

we grow up so quickly...
[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
A long time ago I saw news for this phone that it uses gorilla glass.. is it true?

Because I just got the phone and the screen protector on it sucks. Thick, a bit fuzzy, and makes it less sensitive. I am seriously tempted to pull it off right now.

Has anyone gone without screen protectors? and how are your screens?
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Gorilla glass or not, it's still wise to put a layer of protection on the display. It is scratch resistant but not scratch proof.

Am using a matte, anti-fingerprint screen protector and have no problem with screen sensitivity.
[HTC Desire S] deadwilder:
some say yes, some say no...

i would say yes
[HTC Desire S] DanAbnornal:
Last year while skiing I fell tearing open my jacket and spilling my HTC Hero onto the slope (unannounced to me) where it slid down the piste face down until a kindly Spaniard found it and returned it to me.

The body itself all around the screen had been ground away, but the entirely unprotected screen was utterly untouched.

Within moments of getting my Desire S up and running I had it knocked out of my hand by a friendly dog, it landed face down in gravel. Once again there was not a mark on it.

The only time I should have used a screen protector was on my old P800 with its soft resistive screen.

The moral of the story, screen protectors for capacitive screens are the biggest con in the world. Just don't keep your phone in a bag full of diamonds or anything.
[HTC Desire S] xilw3r:
or sand for that matter. sand is tougher than gorilla glass and it WILL scrach your screen. id actually say you are lucky that your desire s was ok after that gravel fall
[HTC Desire S] zorbakun:
with a bag full of diamonds who would bother with a scratch to the screen of the damn phone :D
[HTC Desire S] MarylandCookie:
Out of interest which protector are you using?
[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
wow, that post and story makes me want to rip the screen protector off even more. other than seeing a lot of cracked screens, i havent really heard off scratched htc screens.

videos like this help too:

http://techielobang.com/blog/2009/1...-test-for-htc-hd2-feel-the-pain-video-within/

but i guess it's this paranoia.. one scratch will ruin it forever..:(
[HTC Desire S] bongo1:
i disagree, i was realy carefull not to sscratch my phone around the house why i was waiting for my screen protector off ebay, but ive ended up with a hairline scratch on the screen. You can only see it at certain angles and when a protector on you cant see it but i would recomend a screen protector to keep it safe as the smallest thing can ruin it.
[HTC Desire S] amonrei:
I'm a nudist. Trusted Gorilla Glass on my previous Nokia C6-01. And trusting it on the Desire S. I don't have a protector case either.
[HTC Desire S] igalan:
When I moved from resistive touch sensors (Windows Mobile) to capacitive (HTC Hero), I stopped using screen protectors. Well, it turns out that the screen doesn't scratch badly, it's very tough, but after months using it hairline scratches do appear, although they are only visible with the light at certain angle.

So I once again I use screen protectors. This way when it's time to sell my current device to get a new one, the screen is 100% perfect. And I don't worry much if I have to clean the screen with my shirt.
[HTC Desire S] wiggleme:
I just bought invisiblesheild from zagg.com. I also got a 25% voucher if anyone wants it? not sure if it includes all items in store

however the contact actually covers the camera and sensor/light which does worry me a bit. I was given a chinese brand one which had a dip so the film didnt cover the camera. but it was crap, but the design was better
[HTC Desire S] DanAbnornal:
Totally with you on the protector case as well. Why buy a beautiful slim phone and then make it fat and ugly by fitting a case?

That said, I have ordered a case but intend to treat it like a condom and only put it on when I need it.

That way, next time I try to impress a girl by falling face first down a mountain, my phone at least will remain unblemished.

C'mon people, liberate yourselves, take it all off! Your phone is a beautiful thing, don't hide it away!
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Buy a sock... or some small bag. I don't really see any reason to have it packed when you are using it (if you are not playing sports with it).
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
I find that the best advice for phone protection is simply not to use the device when you had a few beers (or several!) :p

I have two scratches on the outside of my desire s and both are caused by drinking related accidents! I see a direct correlation between phone damage and UK bank holidays !

Luckily the curved raised lower lip of this phone means that when dropped you have to be quite unlucky to scratch its face!
[HTC Desire S] mixalakis32:
it sure has gorilla glass as you can find in the official site of gorilla glass
[HTC Desire S] titus1:
Just a generic matte screen protector
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
i found a test about the hardness of the screen on mp3 players i think it may be useful as i have seen many people asking if a screen protector is required

http://anythingbutipod.com/2009/04/glass-screen-durability-test-a-lesson-on-the-mohs-hardness-scale/

i myself use a screen protector as i am scared that sand may scratch it...

but mine does not reduce the touch sensitivity or the clearness of the screen but it seems to be a fingerprint magnet...
[HTC Desire S] brokenworm:
iv seen a hammer and a knife ....

ITS ALLMOST UNBREAKABLE Gorilla glass.

search youtube .... its there.

[HTC Desire S] thunder9111:
lol I went without screen protectors for a couple for weeks. was very happy, the screen looked vibrant and sharp.

but lo and behold! today I found a tiny scratch. Probably my own stupid mistake, I put it in my bag without the case, even though i had a case for it in the bag.

but it's ok though. Not really obvious unless you try to look for it. when the screen is lit up, its pretty much nonexistent. Plus.. electronic objects will go out of date someday right ;)

download it then use a file explorer to browse to it click it and install. If you didn't know downloads from xda app go to tapatalkxda... folder on your SD if you're using your phone.

You can get any app out of a ROM .zip file by viewing it in root explorer then navigate to data>app then long press any app you want and press on extract, then go to the extracted folder on your SD and click the apk to install it.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teamshultz:
Just in case you need further instructions:

Connect your X10 to your computer via the USB cable.

Enable USB storage on your phone.

Transfer the Backup.apk to your sd card.

Use a file explorer (Astro or something similar) to navigate to Backup.apk. If you're using MIUI, you probably already have File Manager. Open File Manager and tap "APKs".

Select the file and install it.

"Unkown Sources" must be enabled. You can find it under Settings -> Applications -> Development Settings

If you boot up Rom manager you should be able to go to the Restore function and flash your backup and go back to what you had before.

If you want to know where the rom is physically stored to, I believe it is on your external sd card/clockwork/backups (or something to that nature, cannot confirm because I am at work right now).
