Your PIM data is backed up to Google contacts and calendar automatically. Any change made on your phone or PC syncs to the other next time you connect. As far as backups go, you can use things like Titanium Backup to back up individual/all system apps, installed apps, and their data to either the local SD card, online to DropBox, or both. And, if you root, you can take backup snapshots of your entire system and restore your entire OS and all the configuration of installed apps and widgets in just a couple of minutes. I do the full app backup nightly and the full OS backup about once a week.

Syncing is easy as your computer mounts the SD card as a drive letter on your device. There are lots of sync options out there that can be used to automatically sync files or entire folders to removable drives when they are connected. You can use them to sync documents to and from as well as things like syncing your phone backups to the computer. Both HTC and Motorola have sync software as well that acts somewhat like iTunes or Windows Media Player in syncing things like music libraries to your device. Personally, I prefer the old file explorer method. :)

As far as your RTF and Excel files go, there are a couple of different apps out there that work with Google Docs. If you don't want to sync with Google Docs at all or use their editors, your best bet is one of the office suite packages. I know of three or four of them that are available. Some offer free readers, but you need to purchase the pro version to edit. There is an Excel editor that I saw that was only $2 though, so there ARE cheap options out there if you don't want to go the free Google Docs route. Personally, I just sync my docs folder on my laptop with Google Docs and do any small edits I need on the Android using Google Docs. If I want to do a lot of heavy editing, I use the big screen of the laptop anyway.

If you have any other questions, I'll be following this thread and will respond with whatever I know. I know the stress of deciding to move to another platform. I've been on Palm, Blackberry, WM, iOS, and now Android. And, I have to tell you, I like the Android best of all and can't think of a single thing that I used to do on those other devices that I cannot do on this one.
[Android Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
Thanks, guys !

The reason I don't like using Google Docs is twofold. First, and foremost, the access to GD service via our corporate internet is blocked. I work for a major corporation, and as far as I know, at least two of our biggest competiors block GD as well. (We at least can access gmail and calendar). They see it as a potential security issue. Actually for me it's a security issue as well - if anyone ever got hold of my Google password, I definitely don't want them browsing through some of my personal spreadsheets, or any of my work-related stuff. It may be ok for them to see the list of invites to my kids' party, but definitely not my 401K rebalancing sheet :). I do use Docs as dropbox, but I upload excel files saved inside AES encrypted zip archive.

Second, I need Doc and Excel since many of my work docs get shared with other people, and I like to be able to email them right away in a useful format.

Thanks ! I will keep reading up on the subject. My wife does have an Android phone but I don't have time to play with it at home.

Added: another thing that bugs me about Android, is that whomever steals your phone has full access to all of your Google services. The way it works on WM, they would only be able to see a few days' worth of emails (I do not save passwords to sensitive sites in browser cookies). The way Android phone is fully integrated into online Google, however, makes it a perfect key to all your Google data. I password protected her phone but I don't put too much trust into a 4-digit PIN.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] naplesbill:
So, I was thinking that we should have a thread for WebTop screenshots. I realize that there is a thread for Atrix screenshots but I think there is room for a separate thread specific to WebTop.

It seems to me that the WebTop is different enough that it warrants this thread. If this is a bad assumption, mods feel free to remove the thread.

I will start with a couple from my device:
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Paschalis:
vlc or similar apps work well?

on previous webtop modified versions, in vlc the sound wasnt good..

and what about .mkv movies? can they play?

btw, nice screenshots :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] naplesbill:
I haven't tried vlc and I don't have sound working on the Debian side yet. Sound works fine in the native WebTop apps though. I am getting some dbus errors during Gnome startup. It seems to be related to the original 2GB Debian image I used first. I am not using the 4GB image.

I plan to start from scratch but I haven't had the time to do that yet. I am fairly certain that resetting the phone and redoing the hack will get rid of the errors.

Everything seems to work otherwise though. Also, the bluetooth has added functionality when running Debian. I can pair a Microsoft bluetooth mouse that will not pair with the WebTop bluetooth stack.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] cmcnabb:
This is basically the standard webtop after adding lxterminal and a few other packages via the dpkg command. The screen shot was done with gnome-screenshot which seems to be pre-included in Moto's webtop implementation.

I tried the 'full ubuntu' install, but decided it took just way too much space for what I actually need. So, after wiping the phone and reinstalling sbfs I went about putting on just what I use for work and play.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] naplesbill:
Looks great. Now we just need a larger partition so we can install more stuff! :)

For now, I am still using the Debian hack. It would be better to just crack the motobuntu wide open though.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] teeth_03:
I know its not quite as impressive as the modded webtop,but I prefer using the stock webtop because it runs faster than off the SD card,and its easier to hack this one to get some usability from it,than to install a whole new system like GenTop
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Bluemotion:
Great thread idea!

mywebtop:

Using webtop+ /ubuntop (atrix/photon)

-changed metacity theme to dust_blue // using default gtk2 theme.

-installed xfce4 via synaptic (using the metapackage)

-modified startup scripts (replacing lxde with xfce)

edit:

-oh and disabled webtop-panel
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
Here's SlashGear's review of the Sensation's U.S. version. Seems like the phone was a hit with the reviewer.

http://www.slashgear.com/t-mobile-sensation-4g-review-03156640/
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
that wasn't a damn unboxing. I wanna see what's in the box!
[HTC Sensation] oilfighter:
They had an unboxing post and video already....
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
Same stuff as in the European box. Printed materials, headphones, charger, and a micro-USB cable.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Definitely a positive spin on things. And the video sample is better than I expected.
[HTC Sensation] solsearch:
I also thought the concert shots were more than decent.
[HTC Sensation] kgbkny:
The reason for the positive review is because the Sensation is a great phone, plain and simple.

On a totally different note, it's good to see that fanboys (both of HTC and of that other phone) seem to be falling by the wayside.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xenolance:
Ok, I've heard and read while about to fall asleep at night about a "Paul's patch" or a "Paul O'Brien fix" and several other references to it but I have no idea how to locate it. I've searched the G2X forums and searched the general android forums but not found a link to this "fix". I assure you I have used the search, I just suck at using the board's search features. (Call me a re-re, whatever.)

Can anyone tell me what it does, where to find it, and most importantly, is it even needed on the G2X pretty please?

I appreciate anyone posting here and trying to enlighten this caveman of Android users. Thank you!:D

This being the first time I've flashed anything I'm assuming that I put this zip file in the clockwork mod folder on the internal SD and then boot to clockwork recovery and flash it from there?

FYI, Stock 2.2, rooted running clockwork mod that was flashed using NVFlash so it's not a fakeflash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xenolance:
Meh, I figured it out. I really shouldn't try to do things at work while working a helpdesk, makes my brain not work quite right to have a user nagging me for a password reset because they forgot which of their 20 grandkids it was to begin with.

[EVO 4G Android Development] nivron:
Good afternoon everyone!

This is a quick version of the new OTA 4.22.651.2. It is based on the odexed dump xHausx provided here. He also has posted the newer radios at the same location.

I have some plans for it in the future:

- Fix 3g/1x indicators.

- Deodex for theming ease.

- 4-in-1 reboot mod (from SNQ-)

What I've done so far is:

- Added nano text editor.

- Added sysro / sysrw command lines (to make system read/write or read only).

- Added A2SD (DarkTremor's method).

- Added Run Parts (init.d support for scripting).

- APKs are zipaligned.

At this point in time, there's not much improvement over the stock ROM, but I plan on doing some more optimizations and small tweaks in the future.

If anyone is wondering -- this will very likely remain a stock-ish ROM with ease-of-use tweaks applied. I'm not personally big on theming.

Thanks go out to:

- xHausx - for providing the base to use.

- XDA-developers forum - for having a place where smart folks can congregate to create awesome ROMs!

- Developers here in the EVO section - An inspiration to all!

- Everyone who tests and gives feedback on this ROM.

I'm welcome to any suggestions or questions on how to improve the ROM!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raffie77:
Hello people,

I'm really stuck here

I have a Samsung Galaxy mini s5570

I have Igo8 my way 8.4.2.139242

it does work

I can navigate but there is one little problem

I don't have the "Load Route" in my destination menu

and I miss a few lins at the bottom when I'm in the map mode

I've installed a qvga apk

my resolution = 240x320

I found lots of apk on the internet bu I still have this resolution issue.

I found one version that as a file in this folder iGO\content\skin

this file: dimka83_1.1.11.zip

in this zip is a file called: info.ini and has this text in it:

[theme]

name="diMka v 1.1.11"

needs_restart=1

supported_resolutions="240_320,320_240"

and in this zip there is this folder: ui_igo8 with the correct resolutions (filenames says so) just perfect. (i think)

but the one million dollar question is now:

how do I enable this resolution, so I can see really all details in my menus and maps. I'm going on vacation over 2 weeks and I really want to use the Load route function.

can annyone help me with this please?

do I need to adjust the sys.txt that's located in the root of my Igo folder?

regards,

Ralph

I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.

I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.

I'm glad I waited for more replies.

as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.

If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.
[HTC Aria General] mikelebz:
I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
[HTC Aria General] [un]necessary:
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.

edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.

just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.
[HTC Aria General] Theonew:
The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.
[HTC Aria General] sheisme33:
I just called att and asked if o could talk to tech support..I asked them if they could send me the sideloader update and they did..I just had to tell them my IME number and It was back on my phone within Minutes.

I guess I will have to try calling.. went into my at&t store today since I was in the area and explained there was an OTA update which allowed phones to install from unknown sources and not a single person in the store knew about it or if they could do it themselves. I should have had them look it up on here, the employee tried to google it and said "well google doesn't know about it and it's their phone"

gotta be kidding me... she had a white iphone.
[HTC Aria General] alain_HTC:
Wish it was that simple for me. Asked for tech support, and they transferred me to HTC tech support, who said no problem but it was ATT who had to push it to me. Back to ATT, this time their tech support (India) - knew nothing about it even after asking around, I pushed and they called HTC tech who told them the same thing I did and they said my IME wasn't in their update databse or something and may take 3 days to update, they will call me back once done.

Sight...

reminds me of the half dozen calls I made to ATT to get an unlock code for the HTC Aria (which I eventually got) when they sold for onyl $10 on ebay and would have been much less painful than stupid ATT. For HTC Inspire 4G I just went straight to ebay to get code as ATT wouldn't give it until my oversea trip was over...
[HTC Aria General] DanGeorges:
How did you eventually get the unlock code for the Aria?

I typically call 3 months after getting a new phone and they unlock it without asking.

For the Aria, they keep telling me that this phone is a special device with special "HTC agreements in place" that disallow unlocking.
[HTC Aria General] alain_HTC:
I finally went to ATT store (the only code they gave me was to unlock the phone password not the sim) and they called support because I only had 2/5 try left on my sim from their bad code and didn't want to block it. They eventually got it for me (ARIA) but told me wide Inspire was too new, so I got it off ebay for $20 (Aria ws listed for $10, not worth the ATT hassle). But I also read root hack to unlock the sims, so you might be able to do it yourself for free as well.

Used my Aria in europe for 2 months... awsome (and much cheaper as receiving calls is free in France as least, so my familly who have accoutn there paid :)
