found another great app if your constantly accessing your SD Card from your laptop, Dual Mount Widget works AWESOME! you dont have to drag down your status bar, choose USB, then connect. All you have to do is touch the widget and it mounts for editing. then turn it off by touching it again. Cool thing is that you can still browse your files using Root Explorer or equivalent at the same time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
had the same problem. when in drocap2 press the menu key and switch it to notification screen capture way better. just pull down notification bar and press the buttton and it takes the picture.

Battery Calibration...

What are folks using for calibrating the battery? Presently, I am exploring with different tools (ROMS, Kernels, Themes, etc.) and I am often having to go back to square 1... I have read that one should calibrate the battery after ODIN-ing a ROM.

I am trying Battery Calibration (NeMa)... which seems simple and basic. But I am curious about what others have found...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
What i gather from DrHonk is you should calibrate your battery every time you flash a new kernel, not sure about rom.

According to others, the only app mentioned about calibrating your battery is the one from the market, the one you mentioned. Works fine for me, im going on 17hrs with 32% left.

Absolute system

One of the most usefull apps i have used and it is called Absolute System. It has so many features that it really blew me away! Below is a list of what tools the app offers. (u must have root to use this)

1. Root System File Browser

2. Application Management for all apps (data,system) with app backup feature.

(similar to Titanium Backup)

3. Bootanimations Utility (must have bootanimation kernal) (also over 100 bootanimations to download are included in this utility)

4. Bootanimation Editor (perfect for changing screen size or FPS)

5. Font Changer (so many fonts available and simple one button install and reboot)

6. Ad Blocker (sweet if they annoy u)

7.Build Prop Editor ( great for changing you lcd density)

8. SQLite3 DB Viewer

9. Configure apps to sd setting( switch between Auto,SD Card,or Internal for placement of your apps)

Let me know what u guys think! I have found this app most usefull!

Wish I had a DeLorean...

Darn! Wish I had a DeLorean! I'd go back into the future and NOT buy SuperManager... I like SuperManager... but, at $8, it'll keep me from duplicating tools like Absolute System (even though the latter appears to be the superior product)... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
^ hmmm. really? downloading absolute now. :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
I noticed that no1 mentioned Spare Parts which is a must have for all Android users. It basically speeds up your phone. Download the free app from market open it up and set Window animations & Transition animations to fast. It makes your phone fly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Wes33:
A few of my favorites:

Adfree - Blocks almost all adds, only if you've rooted

Album art grabber - get album art for all your music

Art of glow - fun drawing app

JuiceDefender - Awesome app to save battery!! Turns off data network whenever you're screen is off. I have the the plus version for a few extra features.

TiKl - Push to talk, walkie talkie function with your friends

Zedge - Best app for ringtones, notification sounds, and wallpapers
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] zenofsong:
Screen filter.free app that lets you dim the screen a bit more.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
QFT, though I just have the free version; it's great.

TuneIn Radio - Great app for, you guessed it, listening to the radio. It can also stream the HD Radio channels, so there's more out there to listen to.

iheartradio - Basically the same thing as TuneIn, but just for ClearChannel stations/programming.

FuelLog - Keeps track of your vehicle's gas usage, and associated costs. I have the free version, but there's a paid one that enables multiple cars to be tracked, as well as other options I can't remember off the top of my head.

App2SD - Frees up space on your phone by clearing your cache and moving all enabled apps to your SD card (or to the phone if you're so inclined).

SportsTap - Shows all sports events that are playing on a given day, locally or internationally.

If you are a pandora user you should look for minimal pandora apk on google I also think its on the vibrant forums its really nice when it comes to the widget because its makes it tramparent instead of the ugly original one
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrRuckus:
I agree. Drag Racing is crack. Game runs really well with the 1.5Ghz overclock thats in the general forum, but it will also run smooth if you close all none essential apps with a task killer app. I used to have to close out of misc open apps to get it to run smooth, now its smooth almost all of the time with the overclock.

The Fiance really hates these games at times! Beware of the woman in your life and the possible consequences! haha.

Fatherof4 thanks for the heads up on that boot animation app! Checking it out now!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wrecless:
It's kinda strange to me that people that are smart enough to edit and modd their phones still actually buy apps. You must be either rich or just bound by honor but i'd guess that you still buy CD's and rent DVD's too LOL.

Oh and to make this post useful try out FAT BOOTH from market free. It's a great and funny app to use on your friends and family
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rose2jam:
Anyone who has rooted phone should have rooted toolkit. It makes lifetime so much easier if you do a lot Modding on phone instead of on a PC and pushing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Liquid Smoke:
couple of games that are simple but addicting: Fruit Ninja, Ninjump, Stupid Zombies

also there's an app called Relax & Sleep which is really nice if you like those ambient type sounds when sleeping, has a lot of options like rain, thunder, waterfall, beach, and a bunch more

another great app i'm gonna start a new thread for this 1. It's a sense style DIALER free from market called TouchPal Dialer

There's also yp (yellow pages), tv.com, shuffletone, Live black jack And live holdem pro, adfree, fancy widget pro, google voice, galaxy s music widget, lyrics app, pandora ( for hiding private pictures or videos ), and smart keyboard pro.
[Captivate General] xcrunner4623:
Found a Captivate on Craigslist for $150. I have an iPhone 3G right now, before that, a Blackberry Bold 9000. Would it be prudent of me to grab this device and try it out for a while before deciding what new Android device to get? Could I have enough fun and time with it before transferring? Thanks for your help!
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
If it works and doesnt have a cracked screen, it sound like a good deal. Pm me a link to the c list page and i'll give you a better opinion
[Captivate General] xcrunner4623:
He lowered the price to $150. Seems like he wants to get rid of it. I could then sell my iPhone 3G to recoup some money back, so I might just go ahead and do it.

Dang if I knew people wanted them that bad, I would post the cl links frim dayton. People here dont know how to work them. Freaking hillbillies lol
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
No, just offering to look at it for a second opinion. Maybe he missed something in the pics that could answer some questions, like why is someone selling a phone worth about double that for that price. I'm thinking its either bricked or broken.

Op, if you buy it,.update us on condition.

I just recently moved to ATT from TMobile where I had the Vibrant. They are currently doing refurb Captivates for $10 (or at least were 2 weeks ago) - if you will sign for 2 years.
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
I have a captivate, and I've had a 3G before and the captivate is better in my opinion. Its has way more customization plus a noticeable speed increase. And if you jailbroke your 3G there's a computer app called one click that makes it easy to jailbreak or "root" your captivate.

[Desire HD General] qckuthbutt:
Hi guys,

I've got a little problem here. After updating my DHD to 2.3 I have lost the HTC search app and widget which I prefer over Google (its much more customizable). If anyone has to .apk file i would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.
[Desire HD General] qckuthbutt:

[Desire HD General] RolandCruise:
+1

I bought my desire hd the 5th of may and the same day received the gingerbread OTA update, then I saw on the htc site the description of the search feature, but if I press the search button from the home it always start google search.

It would be nice if someone knows how to restore the default htc search feature.

Unless htc decided to replace it with google search by purpose...
[Desire HD General] qckuthbutt:
I preferred the HTC search anywhere app as it is much more customizable than the Google search bar. But I've been looking around for ages mate with no luck. :(

If you find anything give me a shout.
[Desire HD General] Andrei_2012:
Ive noticed that olny after reading this... If someone coud give a solution that would be nice ..
[Desire HD General] qckuthbutt:
I know that if you have updated your DHD you should be running Sense UI 2.1+, which means if anyone could get hold of the apk file it would install fine and work.

Just haven't been able to find the file anywhere. :(:(
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
If I start typing in the search box in 2.3, it actually finds stuff from the phone as well, e.g. contacts, music without using Google. From what I recall, it's exactly the same in the Search anywhere app, minus the Google search option.
[Desire HD General] qckuthbutt:
The search anywhere app allowed us to choose and arrange your searched items as you like. I also find that Google search doesn't search my contacts for some reasons. :S

My boot went corrupt with CM 7.0.2. I was able to restore to stock with no problem, but everytime I attempt to install CM 7 (stable or nightly), I get a black screen except for a little white/light blue line in the upper right corner.

I use the 3.0.0.5 Recovery with the directions in the following link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=949699

Does anyone have an idea why this happens? I do remove the SD recovery card, and insert a blank SD card before rebooting.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
Use 3.0.2.8 recovery
[Nook Color General] SheldorTheConqueror:
Thanks, I'll give that a shot right quick.
[Nook Color General] SheldorTheConqueror:
Tried it and it boots back to the black screen with the line in the upper right corner.

Here's what I did.

Made the bootable sd card, copied over lastest build of cm7 and gapps.

Installed zips.

wiped data.

switch sd cards, rebooted

also tried it w/o wiping data.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
Wiping cache?
[Nook Color General] SheldorTheConqueror:
Should I do that before or after installing the zips?
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
wipe system, data, cache, then flash zips
[Nook Color General] SheldorTheConqueror:
Just tried that, no dice. It's still going back to the same screen.
[Nook Color General] NewZJ:
Download the cm7 again, might be corrupt

Just downloaded a stable release, and it works. Is there any reason why the Nightly 80 wouldn't work, even after re-downloading it?
[Nook Color General] engrkid:
I'm also dealing with the same issue as well. The problem started when I tried to update from nightly 76 to 77. I also tried to flash to nightly 80, but no luck. I'm flashing a stable release now.

Edit: Flashing the stable release also worked for me. However, I wasn't able to flash the latest nightly over the stable build.
[Nook Color General] jdbclt:
Yep.

Same problem here.

The stable works, boots fine, but the nightlies won't boot.

They go into the same flashing blue line.

I tried all the advice I could find, wipe system, cache, data and tried restoring to stock, still no dice.

I am using CWM 3.0.2.8.
[Nook Color General] angomy:
I'm just a different flash method (verygreen's SD install), but found that nightlies beyond 75 won't boot without installing the .32 OC kernel. There's a discussion in both cyanogenmod experimental nook forum and in the dev forum here about it.
[Nook Color General] SheldorTheConqueror:
I guess I'll just wait until they resolve the issue then. I was really wanting to see how well the deep sleep worked.
[Nook Color General] SheldorTheConqueror:
Finally got the latest nightly from today with OC kernel and gapps. Running great so far. Just waiting on market being able to download.

[Galaxy S II Accessories] falconeight:
I just bought this case and it looks great and could of been a great case. The only problem is that it doesn't fit the phone. Th SGS2 has wiggle room and moves inside the case. You can also pull it out easily, and it creaks when you hold it. I don't know if its just my case or a production problem.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] nightic:
The cut-out in one corner indicates that it's probably designed for the Korean version of the phone, which is slightly thicker, hence the wiggle room you describe.

Yup, that corner is where the antenna is on the Korean version. :p

[Verizon Droid Charge] pchasco:
There seems to be an issue with the Droid Charge's activation. Mine took over an hour to activate. I was at Verizon 30 minutes past close while the sales rep repeatedly rebooted, pulled the battery, etc. Eventually they had me take the phone and see if it would activate eventually, otherwise activate my old phone then come back in the next day to get a new one. Sure enough, fifteen minutes after I left the phone activated and everything's been fine since.
[Verizon Droid Charge] tdenton1138:
Hopefully you got this working already, but when I picked up a Charge yesterday @ Verizon, the salesguy said they were having problems activating and that it could take maybe 12 hours...? Then he turned it on and it activated right away. Go figure.
