[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Nitsson:
Great replies, thanks! The autostart manager will come in useful (though I can't find one with the symbol of a car) and I've disabled Skype autostart as per instructions.

The status limitation I can live with for now, my primary concern was that Skype autostarted in Online mode on each boot leading to a flurry of untimely messages. When I start it intentionally changing the status is only a minor inconvenience.
[General Questions and Answers] gdudlevi:
Hello,

Help is needed so much!!!!!!!!!!

I am using Samsung galaxy S ,Android Firmware version 2.2, kernel version 2.6.32.9.

As I purchased Launcher Pro Plus,when I press "home" and then "menu" button then "wallpaper". The option " Live Wallpapers" have disappeared from settings : "Select wallpaper from"

I only have : Gallery , TwWallpaperChooser , LauncherPro gallery.

How do I return it?

Thanks:)
[General Questions and Answers] gdudlevi:
Ok,

So I managed to return "Live wallpapers" directory to settings. I installed LiveWallpapersPicker.apk .

But there is new problem appeared if I try to choose any live wallpaper, phone crushes and come back to home screen. It showing me that "Livewallpaperspicker.apk stoped unexpecrably"

Maybe someone knows what default .apk's there are for samsung galaxy s , that needed for live wallpapers enabling

Does anyone can help me ? Maybe someone has Livewallpapers.apk for samsung galaxy s.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks guys.
[HTC Incredible S] silverback88:
Hi,

A friend wants to buy an Incredible S which is not in English (but she wants it in English). Unfortunately I won't be around to help her (I have a rooted desire HD and it's very easy to change the interface language).

On a default install of the Incredible S, is this as simple as selecting English in some language menu item?

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00371:
Just can't get the correct meaning. Do you mean that your friend hasn't bought IS yet?
[HTC Incredible S] silverback88:
She hasn't bought it yet. The website states that the interface is not in English and I'm just curious as to how easy it would be to change it to English without rooting, etc. Basically, does the default Android make it easy to change language?
[HTC Incredible S] GuestK00371:
Where do your friend will buy? If it is in one of the Europe Countries, YES, you can change to English.

If not, just go to Market and download "MoreLocale2" it can help you to change to other languages, without any rooting or S-OFF required.
[HTC Incredible S] silverback88:
awesome thanks. she is buying it in an EU country, yes, so hopefully it will be very easy, but an app isnt a big deal either
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
The lockscreen whether its charging or not comes on by itself at random times and sometimes several times in a row. When its not charging, it obivously kills my battery. I thought it might be related to the rom im using, but i have tried several different roms and they all do the same thing. Another thing is my speakerphone will come on by itself when i answer a call. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Sounds like something is set to turn the screen on. Do you have any custom messaging apps? What rom are you running? any mods? please provide as much info about your phone as you can to help find the issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Right now i am running Android Revolution. When i first got the phone it had the Ingersoll Rom installed and i don't remember it doing it then, but since then i have tried, coredroid, rcmix3d, virtuous, honeysense, leedroid and they all do it. I have both "s" off. No i did have chompsms installed a while back, but have done several data wipes since then. No other mods. It is eating the hell out of my battery by doing this and i am starting to regret trading my iphone for it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
I would flash a sock rom and see if it does it. might be a phantom file that is not getting over written. If it doesnt do it then then reload the rom. are you restoring any system data or apps?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
How do i go about going back to stock? Not restoring any data as far i as i know. Btw, thank you very much for replying to me!
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Honestly for this phone I am not sure. Check the stickies in Dev section, I am sure you will find it there
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
ya i think i might have found one in the sticky, ill try and report back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Trying the TPC stock optimized rom for the day, ill give details on it tonight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Ahh, i give up. It keeps kicking car panel on. I am getting so frustrated with this. :( And no rom has fixed the speakerphone coming on automatically.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Sounds like you have a device issue, car panel should only come on when it is plugged into the car dock, might be a USB port issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Sorry to hear ur issues. I can understand ur frustration but don't leave a general remark like this, cos what u r experiencing could be a stray issue due to some random app.

Anyways, coming to ur issue, try this once:

1. Format ur SD card

2. Copy the Android Revolution 5.1.10 (I am saying this ROM cos I've been using this since 5.1.7 and its been good all along)

3. Go to CWM console

4. Do the factory wipe option (data/cache wipe)

5. Go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache

6. Flash the ROM

7. Reboot

Do

NOT

restore any apps or data using TiBu.

Let me know how it goes. (I am subscribing to this thread :))

Edit:

1. I had the speaker phone turning on issue on a couple ROMs, but didn't face it in Ginger Beast and this ROM.

2. Reg. car panel, I heard this issue on here many times on different ROMs. U cud simply freeze the app or delete it altogether if u r not using it. And like Zel said, this could be cos the charger u r using has current coming through that's around the same range as that of car charger.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
thabks for suggestions. Ill try it tonight. Sry for the remark, my frustration is getting the best of me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
No worries. Try that and let me know. It would better if u follow the same steps so it would be easy to trace.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Is it possible the sdcard is bad? I am about to format and reinstall android revolution right now. Ill post the results.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
OK, flashed Android Revolution. The speakerphone still comes on automatically. Will keep an eye on the screen to see what it does. I have not any installed any mod, or apps yet. Totally clean install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
OK, it didnt do it as often, but the screen still came on. I'm not 100% sure, but i think it came on as data was being used? i noticed the data arrows moving. Formatting and flashing coredroid now and testing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
1. Did u restore any apps?

2. Do u have any of ur apps on SD card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
nope and nope
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
This is strange... Hearing for the first time. Could u pls post this on the Android Revolution thread and see if anyone else faced this issue. As far as I can recall, I don't remember seeing any such thing on that thread.

Edit: You could try re-downloading the ROM zip. Sometimes zips can be corrupt too.

This time when u try, please backup ur data on SD card, and format it fresh, and load only the rom zip on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
sure thing, i can post it on all the rom threads really lol. I am using coredroid atm and so far i havent seen it come on by itself (over 2 whole hours now). Not getting my hopes up just yet though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
That's nice. Hope for the best. It could be an issue with the kernel too. Some hardwares don't like some kernels.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
hmm, maybe ill try messing with the kernels next. So far so good with coredroid and 3 formats later. Ill know for sure in the morning when i check the battery level if the screen has come on overnight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
It must have come on last night. Charge went from 92% to 64% in 6 hours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Double post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
How long was the display on as per ur battery stats under settings?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
it says 44m45s
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
Looks like some app is playing havoc. Sorry mate, my knowledge stops at this level :(

Out of context, that's equivalent of about 12-15% of battery at ~25% brightness (based on my phone).
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Thanks for trying. I noticed something weird in regards to the speakerphone issue. If i have it plugged into my usb charger that plugs into the wall the speakerphone will default to off. But as soon as i disconnect, it will default to on. Odd.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gho5t82:
Anyone else have any ideas?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arh2o:
Hi guys,

Very odd problem with the Mail application on my Thunderbolt. Sometimes it refuses to automatically download mail and sync during peak times and the only explanation I can think of is that the system is in power save mode even though I have power save disabled.

-Auto-sync is enabled

-Background Data is enabled

-Power saver is totally disabled

-Update schedule is set to Every Day and within the peak times.

-Not using juice defender or task killer

-Stock android.. just did a clean install with the MR2

-Set to 15 minute intervals, 8am to 11pm peak time.

I'm pretty savvy with the android system and honestly am at a loss as to the reason why this happens. I can sometimes fix it by toggling the background data and sync multiple times but I do not have a clear cut solution yet.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
I have seen people have problems with synching while using task killers that have an auto-kill mode and people who use Juice Defender.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arh2o:
Yep, not using a task killer as those are proven to be useless :)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beastclaw:
What about Juice Defender, do you use that? Also you listed that you have your synch schedule set for everyday during peak times...do you mean once a day on peak times or what interval do you have it set as?

Do you notice any other app that uses an internet connection malfunctioning during the day?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arh2o:
15 minute intervals during peak times. My peak times are 8:00am to 11:00pm. I don't really notice any other app besides mail malfunctioning. But then again I don't really have any apps that use the internet. Facebook seems to be giving me notifications on time. It's really just the mail app which refuses to update automatically. Some tinkering around and syncing all seems to sometimes fix it but i have no clue how. Such an odd and annoying problem.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ILMF:
You don't mention what you are trying to sync with the mail app, but I had the same problem with my Incredible and exchange. After deleting and restoring my settings 4 times, I bought Touchdown for $20 on the market and have never looked back. They offer a fully functional 30 day trial. If its exchange you are trying to sync, its the way to go.

XDA Premium via Gingeritis 1.0
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arh2o:
It's actually a gmail account i'm trying to sync. I think it's a problem with the mail app since i get facebook notifications on time. Very very frustrating. The mail app just refuses to sync properly.
[HTC Sensation] wesfox:
Hi guys,

I got a 3 days old sensation, and for the past 3 days it keeps going to auto silent mode, (wont ring, no alarm, games & music all no sound) even my notification and volume is max.

The problem goes away after I make a call and it will comeback again anytime.

I only installed some popular apps (known for no issue) such ass Whatapps, Wiki, Angry bird, Dictionary and some games for my toddler.

I am still good for 7 days exchange policy, but I hope I could fix the issue, having installed screen protector and all, i wish to keep this set

Anyone can help me?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] ancola66:
Some games are not compatible with Sensation and caused a loss of sound. I have to try the game Talking tom cat or some similar games ( Talking.....) and causing the whole system sound. You only need to uninstall that game and restart the device >>> The device works correctly again:)
[HTC Sensation] howetechnical:
Good to know, thanks for the tip.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
seems to be a common problem and there are a few threads on here about it. some think it's incompatible apps but I don't have any of the ones that are ever listed & I get it. the sure way to get sound back without restarting is just as you do, make a call, I call voicemail, & then it'll come back.

If you look, your phone is locked in media volume & that's the issue.
[HTC Sensation] wesfox:
Thanks for the reply guys...

I found the culprit, yes! ancola66 is right! it was the TALKING GINA, got it uninstalled and all fine.

Auto silent for no reason HTC Sensation

Heya,

Thought I'd post this in response to the solutions. It may be an application that's causing the problem but I tried all that and removed applications (none of whihc were games - iplayer type stuff) and reset the phone (factory reset) and still nothing.

Then I decided to plug in my headphones to see if that output worked. It did and when I unplugged them, voila, the speaker suddenly worked again!!

Morale: plug in some headphones if you have this problem before doing anything else.. It may solve it..

Hope this helps!:)
[HTC Sensation] markwillgofaster:
Auto silent for no reason on Sensation

Hey again,

It went silent for a reason when I wanted to play the HTC Music. I tried the headphone thing and no joy. But went into youtube and started something playing then did the headphone thing and the speaker's back on.

I will never understand this, but it seems to work for me.

I can confirm this as well. If you are trading it in at radioshack.....the store rep said all they care about is if it powers on and works. They give the phones to to battered women I was told.

Any news on Unlocking the Droid Pro VZW to work with At&T?
[Defy Android Development] rvd_516:
Hi,

It just came into my mind. Since we can have custom recovery and android recovery also boots, can we have multi boot option in Defy as like in a PC's
[Defy Android Development] pjgowtham:
Good question ..............i think there is no answer for this question
[Defy Android Development] ofmb:
some resources would have to be used by both ROMs..

with the current hacks it can't be done easily.

i guess some way of ramdisking the shared resources will have to be used.

basically, if you think about a hack for defy ask first:

can it be done in a completely open (=bootloader not locked) phone like nexus ?

if yes, ask:

is it WORKING?

if yes also, so

maybe

it can be done.

nevertheless, it's easy enough to create a script to backup & restore NANDROIDS.

but then every switch between roms will take like 25+ minutes, so it won't be a real multiboot.
[Defy Android Development] ephumuris:
Somebody at one point on the desire was working on something like this. Run rom from nand and other rom from sdcard.

Ephumuris.
[Defy Android Development] K3n H1mur4:
I think there are two possibilities for this to happen: first of all, we should try NAND boot for the primary ROM, and try somehow to load the secondary ROM from the internal memory (it'll be faster than the SD Card, I think). The problem here would be allowing the bootloader to read from internal memory instead of NAND. I know this can be done based on the number of WinMo-Android and iOS-Android dual boot solutions, with a menu to choose which system to load, in the boot screen.

The second option is the method used by Wing Linux to run Android on old WinMo devices. In this method, you MUST boot in WinMo (or, in our case, in the primary ROM), then open the app that loads Android (the secondary ROM, for us). Android does NOT run emulated in this method, but, since the device can't dual boot directly, the app sends a signal for the device to restart running from the bootloader to the SD Card (for us, internal memory). This second option is, somehow, like the System Recovery app (not 2ndInit), that has an option that reboots directly into Recovery. So, if we can tell the phone to load from custom Recovery (which is, in fact, in internal memory, not in NAND), I think it's possible to make it load an entire ROM from the internal memory (without having to mount it everytime and waiting for the dalvik-cache to load).

However, it's surely a hard work to do.
[Defy Android Development] pjgowtham:
Yes one from nand and one from sd card..........good......can we partition nand and use it both on the nand itself??
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
it should really work if we use virtual images or sdcard-partitions instead of system, data and cache partitions.

This can be changed in the init.rc-file(of 2nd-init).

The creator of the 2nd-init-bootmenu should implement this feature.
[Defy Android Development] Epsylon3:
it is possible... just need 2 new partitions ext3 on sdcard for data and system...

you can use 2nd-boot profile in bootmenu to change dev block links and customize mount settings
[Defy Android Development] walter79:
Did you try it?
[Defy Android Development] rvd_516:
even i like to know tht did u tried tht?
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
I managed to boot from virtual system,data and cache partitions with the 2nd-boot-option of bootmenu like ep3 said.

It was a bit difficult because android-init remounts /dev so the changes will be lost but now I found a way.

And: I got recovery working for the virtual system so you don't need to prepare your images, BUT: only the wipe and restore are working. "install zip" will still affect your real system.

My scripts need some testing but after that I will release a first version.
[Defy Android Development] balika01:
the multboot works for me :P i writed a cutsom boot sh and init.rc and woila WORKS!

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

this is a dualboot rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1225179
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
So here is the first (very early) version of 2nd-boot:

http://www.multiupload.com/Z17M0WO3SU

Before continuing please make a backup of your phone!

Installation:

Just install it via CWM.

This will place the script in your 2nd-boot and replace the "CWM-Lastest"-script so it will install into the images. BUt can still use the "CWM-Stable" option for your normal system.

I've created 3 empty 300MB ext3-images for system,data and cache so you don't have todo that. Download them here:

http://www.multiupload.com/VY3U4IXRO1

Just copy the folder "fsimages" to your sdcard.

Usage:

After installing the update-zip and copying the files to the sdcard you can reboot into bootmenu, select "Lastest Recovery" and Restore an backup.

Please DO NOT install a ROM with a zip-file. Currently this will affect your real system.

After you restored your backup into the virtual file-system you can boot them with the 2nd-boot-option in bootmenu.

I successfully installed CM7.1 and MIUI-Pikachu-Edition in the virtual filesystem.
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
