[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVogler:
I am running GB 3.5, and then ADW Launcher 1.3.6 Standalone. I was using the stock MotoBlur/GingerBlur launcher 'home screen' for while I was at work...and the ADWLauncher 'home screen' for all my apps, entertainment, not at work stuff. Whenever I hit the 'home' button, I would have the option of 'ADW.Launcher' or 'Launcher'. Yesterday, the sensitive screen accidentally marked the check box for 'use by default for this action'. Now I am stuck in ADW.Launcher, and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the original launcher with all my work settings on it to come up. I'm sure it has to be something really simple, but I'm at a loss.

Anyone know how to remove the 'use as default' checkbox so I can get both launchers back?

thanks

Why add an app and take up space when clearing the ADW defaults works?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Lol......cos' there's more than enough room on an Atrix. Don't think this one tiny app is gonna put storage over the edge. Also, if you end up trying different launchers, can make changing between much easier. Take a chill pill. A lot of people use it!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spectre51:
Clearing the adw defaults doesn't work at least not for me. If you install any other launcher you need the home switcher app or someone similar to be able to select motoblur again. Or uninstall the other launcher.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVogler:
Clear Defaults is greyed out for me...says no defaults are set. I will try Home Changer app.

thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethantarheels123:
do you have titanium backup? if so, make sure that when you scroll down to "launcher", it is not frozen. If it is, just click on it and defrost it. then clear defaults and press home. voila!!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVogler:
I went the 'Home Switcher' route, works well...and I have so much room on the Atrix I'm not worried about space....have 300+ apps right now, still running smoothly. It would be nice if the Home Switcher became part of the 'long-press' search button menu. Is there a way to do that? I know I downloaded an 'AutoRotate Switch' and a few other things that show up there. Does that have to be done on the development side, or can I somehow move Home Switcher to that menu for easy access.

Thanks for ideas, I always come to xda for the best solutions!

EDIT: So I added 'Home Switcher to my drop down notification menu using Bar Control, and am happy with that for now. I'm still curious about how it works getting things to long-press search menu though. Now that I have this quick way to switch Launchers, I'm thinking of adding a few more, like SPB 3D. Whenever I haven't been to the default launcher in a while, it takes a while to load, which leads me to believe it doesn't always stay active eating up resources while not in use. Anyone have any experience having 3 or 4 at the same time, and the impact on performance?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVogler:
I have TB, so am I understanding correctly...I can freeze whole Launchers (all setup) if I won't need them for a while...and then un-freeeze them when needed...with everything returning as before? I've only frozen a couple things before, just testing it out...never a Launcher though.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
This is why I mentioned Home Switcher. I had 5 or 6 launchers at one time, always switching back and forth "playing". I love my toy ........... I mean Atrix, and the launcher bug does bite until you find one or two which you will stick with. So many, and so many ways to customize. I never saw any performance hit with multiple launchers myself.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebzrascal:
So does WP7 have the API`s to create any APP currently on IPHONE OR ANDROID?? and are features now on the same level??? If not whats missing?? and in what areas is Windows Phone ahead if any?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OndraSter:
WP7's current API is missing a lot of stuff, mostly sockets. But all of that is coming with Mango and after that, it will be on really high level of integration and possibilities. And if we take in count also the fact that whole .NET (C#) with XNA framework is super easy and super awesome to code with (compared to Java and C++), I think that WP7 will be the best coding platform in here.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
XNA will still be missing custom shaders in Mango, right? That would be big for 3D gaming.

There's still no way to handle files between apps (I.e. you can't and won't be able to write an app that would become a default app for a certain file type).

Other than that, native APIs are missing, which makes some apps outright impossible (browsers, codecs, media players), others expensive because virtually no code cam be reused from other platforms (games, Satnav).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
Are you sure about this one? In one of the demo videos, they showed an example of trying to open a PDF file from SkyDrive, and it knew to go to the Marketplace to get the Adobe reader app. And if I remember correctly, they mentioned that the same capability would exist for at least some other file types.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vangrieg:
This is nothing new for PDF. For other file types, I simply see no references in dev tools or on MSDN. If you want to register your app as a filetype handler, you need to have APIs for, say, IE to pass a file to your app, and the capability needs to be declared in a manifest file or something. It's nowhere to be found as far as I see.

Everytime I reflash, I seem to loose the merged contacts between my phonebook with facebook/twitter/whatsapp etc. My blackberry back in the day stored the connection as an attirbute in the contact object such as; fb://profile/XXXXXXX. Any apps that can back up the contacts with their other app relations?

apart from the contacts, I could swear that the facebook birthdays would sync to my calender as well. I seemed to have lost it, was it a friendstream functionality? Thanks
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
I use cardio trainer to log distance when running etc. I used it daily when I got the phone in March and it worked great. Then in May it started not locking to my location. Now it doesn’t work at all. I have updated my phone and it still does not work.

I live in an area with a lot of tall trees. It seems like it stopped working when the leaves came out. Is the GPS on this phone that bad that it can’t lock through leaves? My old droid never had that problem and I used the very same program on it all last year.

Anything I can do to make the GPS work better?
[Thunderbolt General] tbcpn:
There are a number of threads on XDA and other forums about this issue--a Google search for "htc thunderbolt gps issues" will yield a long list of discussions. I've had excellent results, irrespective of which radio / ROM I'm using with the GPS Status/Tools app available from the Market.
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
Yup tried that and it did not help at all. Just ran 2 miles and Cardio Trainer said I went .4 miles. This phone sucks... If there is nothing that will fix this I'm going back to Verizon and make them give me a new phone.
[Thunderbolt General] worwig:
It was probably just using cell towers, not true GPS.

Get the app "GPS Status" from the market.

Go to 'menu/tools'. Then manage a-GPS. Do a reset, then do a download.

Now go outdoors for a LONG while with GPS status running. It should start receiving and cataloging satellites. If you aren't seeing over 6 satellites and better then 8 meters accuracy, it is broken. Get it replaced by VZW.
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
If it is broken would a new TB fix it or should i just get a new Droid? I have been less than impressed with all the issues of the TB so far. Also how it still doesn’t have Netflix when so many other phones do.
[Thunderbolt General] HawkStream:
Ok I did that... It found as many as 8 sats and had an error or 3m. So I will try cardio trainer again and see if it now works.

I can get on evdo, by using cdma prl, or the evdo/lte, but for some reason the last 24 hours I have yet to get any lte service. And the only other time that I have ever lost it was when the whole network went down. Stock w/root. I didn't see any other threads started on this issue, that's the only reason I made another one.

I just left the store here in Greensboro and the latest update for 4G in Greensboro is now January 2012. Why does that not surprise me.
[Thunderbolt General] ncwildcat:
Raleigh was on the original list, and we are still not 4G...but Lumberton is
[Thunderbolt General] 1454:
I'm kinda surprised by that. Maybe they are just giving more distant target dates to make sure they leave time to not piss off customers if they don't hit the actual target date? Sorry to hear.

[Droid X General] 1dtms:
Ive been reading about the possibilities of rooting and why its a good thing.

Well I finally rooted, but what should I do now?

I've already removed the bloatware and im not interested in themes.

As for ROMS/CustomOS, there hasnt been any ROM that sets it that much more better then the stock 2.2firmware that came with the phone. Aside from the possible swipe texting, is there any significant benefit from using a custom ROM as oppose to the standard OS?

Also what are some must have apps for rooted phone?

Feels like the only real benefit from rooting (if one is not interested in themes/looks) is just removing bloatware
[Droid X General] Rhill051:
Same boat

So I just rooted my phone too, I was hoping to gain the ability to remove the bloat ware and maybe free mobile hot spot, but im such a noon im too worried about bricking my phone so really all I've done is the initial root, I did download the liberty 1.5 and saved it to my memory card but I don't really know if I did a full backup or not. I downloaded the titanium backup app that specifically says root on it and did what I thought was a backup in preparation for putting the liberty rom on my phone. Do I automatically gwet free mobile hotspot or is that a separate app all together?
[Droid X General] 1dtms:
Im not sure about titaninum backup or the liberty 1.5 youre trying to install.

However, I can hopefully share with you what I know about the free mobile hotspot. If by that you mean tether, than yes, you do need a seperate app. In fact the app is the only thing you need, no need for roms and what not. Some of the tethe rapps are PDAnet, easytether, and wireless tehter

theres probably more but those 3 are the ones I see most mentioned and hear success stories with most of them
[Droid X General] N3RO2403:
alot of the Roms out there include a wireless 3g hotspot app in them, for example the rom im rocking is Darkslide 4.2 and it includes the app, and always remember to give credit where credit is due ^_^ and always thank the devs for doing this for free
[Droid X General] Rhill051:
Oh for sure, I appreciate the help info ethus site is the bomb and the dev's here kick butt. So I was using pda net before I rooted but I was told by someone that you can get the wireless hot spot by rooting. I might check out that dark sliders rom too. Is it a lot of work tojump between roms?
[Droid X General] droid_freak:
Just remember than Verizon is now monitoring rooted phones and they can send you a bill for data. I would suggest against it but it depends on where you live as to if they are monitoring.
[Droid X General] Rhill051:
How do they even know that a phone is rooted? Im guess I don't know what to think of that.. I know its a service you are supposed to pay for but isn't that kinda along the same lines as apple or google monitoring you? Do we know what markets Verizon is monitoring? Is it something where they pick the people who are using gig's of data, I've only used maybe a couple hundred megabytes

Hey Guys,

I even found a tool to mange your device via PC

You can conect via WiFi or USB.

You can manage your contacts | view/write sms |look Photos/Videos | listen to your Music | Backup Contacts/SMS/Applications to PC

I think it's pretty good and easy to use. :)

I searched a long time after somthing like that,maybe some of you need this,too.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/manage-contacts-sms-music-photos-of-any-android-device-with-wondershare-mobilego/

Scroll down and there you can download it.

You need to enable USB-Debugging on your Device.

Install the .exe ; run it ; conect your phone and the rest the tool made self (install a app on your device). now you can work with it ;D

[TG01 General] (InsertNameHere):
Why make a video? Or, go through the process and make one yourself, what do you need?

SDDL+

A rom to flash

(optionally a webcam or video camera of some sort to record the procedure!)

Put SDDL+ in base "\" folder of your micro sd card, and put *.tsw rom file in a folder called "PRG" These folders do not actually have " in there name.

Run SDDL+ and choose yes, making sure you have 100% battery charge, and your phone should be flashed to the rom you chose. After its done, soft reset using the master clear option and your done.

In all honesty, no need for a video, just copy and paste instructions into google translate if you cannot read english, all information you need is in STICKY posts in the TG01 Rom Development thread. A video would be quite annoying actually as you would have about 20 minutes of looking at a warning screen saying don't remove sd card or battery!!!!!

OK guys, Im not new to the android deal, or flashing, but im stuck here. I have a Sprint Hero, and I need to go back to stock. Problem is, the USB port is broken, and will only charge. So i cant enter ADB, and the phone wont boot past the HTC screen. Its rooted, and i still have root, and clockwork recovery. I cant seem to get any rom to flash though, it just hangs at the HTC screen, and I cant get the HBoot (version 1.47) to read anything. I tried renaming the extracted RUU from the sprint update to HERCIMG and it wont read it. So, anyone have any ideas???
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Without usb or an s-off bootloader I think its impossible to go back to stock. Why do you need to?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riff76:
Just a thought, can you download the RUU onto the phone via dropbox or something similar?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodcpierce:
Ok. I have an s off bootloader. I can't boot to any rom as it gets stuck at the htc screen. I have tried the above mentioned hercimg file (even though you cant open it, because it says the file is invalid, and I have downloaded it a number of times, so its not a download error) and hboot wont find it even after renaming. I can move files to the sd card via my computer. I have the adapter. I need to get back to something close to stock, so that i can activate the phone. I dont want to get the thread off topic though, just need help getting back there.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NineInchNails:
Check your computer's USB drivers. If you can charge it you should be able to use USB. Or use someone else's computer. Then running the ruu from HTC website will work just fine. This sounds more like the computers end then the phone. Ymmv.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodcpierce:
il, I dont even necessarilly need to unroot. But if people would please read the first post. It would help answer some of the questions.... I CAN FLASH ANY ROM, BUT NOTHING WILL BOOT PAST THE HTC SCREEN. It also says what bootloader version i have, its version 1.47. I have clockwork customer recovery version 2.5 I believe it is. HBOOT wont find any file, period. Including a recovery. And its not a computer issue, its with the USB. Trust me.

I used this when I RUU'd recently and it worked great. jasonmaloney put this up a while ago and this gem was in the middle of the thread. It broke root and I rerooted using Regaw's method this time.

H-boot should have no problem recognizing this.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodcpierce:
Drunk, it wont read that either. It doesnt even recognize that there is a HERCIMG on the SD card. This phone is bunk. not even a week ago, it was booting AOSP rom fine, no issues.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Whoa, calm the F down. My phone isn't the broken one, it's yours. Anyway, I did read the OP, but it was real early, and I missed the 1.47. AFAIK hboot cannot fail IF you build the zip correctly. Pull out the SDcard and put this recovery zip on it, then flash from hboot. Do the device erase thing in fastboot before that. I just flashed it and it went fine. It's CWM 2.5.0.1. You will to rename it to "HERCIMG.zip". Also, were you using any other mods like FR or something? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5669105/HERCIMG2501.zip

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodcpierce:
OK, just a quick update. Got it fixed with the help of laei1472. The recovery was botched, that was what was not letting me flash anything. Finally got it to boot one of AOSP's earlier roms (which was the last rom it had booted, before going haywire). Then we were trying to flash RA 1.7 through terminal, but it wouldnt find flash_image. Ended up finding a file to flash it as that version of AOSP was missing the flash_image file in /system/bin. Once we got that, then I was able to flash RA 1.7, and now can flash any rom I want too. What a pain in the butt experience. But happy the phone is back up and going. Thanks again laie1472.
