[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] ucubz:
Yes it possible.

I don't running stock rom right now so I can't test it, unknown contact picture found in sony ericsson contact apps.
[Xperia Arc Themes and Apps] AlfaKyle:
Yes, its possible

You need to open the (ROM).zip that you are using and edit an .apk and then use ADB to push it back to the phone.

I'm using Virtuous Unity 1.3.1. I've done it successfully on a few other ROMs too.

You'll need a graphics editor (I used MS Paint), Android SDK with adb, 7-Zip.

Here's how I did it...

As always, MAKE A BACKUP! Its not my fault if something goes wrong.

1 - Open the .zip copy of the ROM that you're using

2 - Extract a copy of /system/app/Phone.apk

3 - Open Phone.apk using 7-zip and copy the following files to your desktop (don't close the 7-Zip window):

-phone_default_270.png

-phone_default_300.png

-phone_default_incall_270.png

-phone_default_incall_300.png

4 - Find a picture that you want to use and resize it to 300x300 and 270x270. Save it as the above file names.

5 - Copy the 4 files back into the Phone.apk archive and exit 7-Zip

6 - Copy the new Phone.apk file into your adb directory (Android SDK, usually in the platform-tools folder)

7 - Connect your phone to your computer and ensure its in charge-only mode with USB debugging enabled

8 - Open a command prompt window, change to your adb directory, and run the following commands:

adb devices {to make sure the device is connected}

adb remount {sets it to read/write}

adb push Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk {replaces the Phone.apk file}

9 - Disconnect your device and reboot

10 - Enjoy!

Guys i just want to ask what phone is the best to buy ranging from $100-$200 in the US during the thanksgiving sale. Are the phones worth $300+ will go below $200 during the sale? I prefer android or windows phone. Hope someone can advice me. Im from asia and i will just ask my uncle to buy a good phone for me with a sale value.
[General Questions and Answers] aaa:
1. You need some with future telling ability to which phones are on the USD100-200 or drop to those price range during thanksgiving special sale.

2. I recommend to get an HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy S for best phones with best value. (sorry no WP7 phone recommendation from me :) , cause I do not like any of them at the moment)

I like to have my contacts to have their Facebook profile pictures but, I don't want to have all my Facebook contacts on my phone. I have selected to only sync with current contacts. But, it still puts all of my Facebook friends on my phone. It wouldn't be a problem since under "People" I can select to see only "google contacts" but, they are there when I open my "Dialer" on my phone. It used to just sync with my phone contacts and wouldn't put all of them on my phone. This is highly annoying because it used to work when I got my evo last summer. Anyone have any advice to sync my current contacts with out all of my Facebook contacts being synced? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdogg836:
Go into People. Then hit Menu, click view. At the bottom, uncheck Facebook contacts and they'll disappear. One other thing that you can do if you use your gmail for contacts as well as email is check "only with phone number. There are lots of other options in there.

[HD Mini General] pokeone:
Thank you for your help. I thought that there is a software to calibrate the display, because I found a program that it were better, but it did not work. I apologize for my damn questions.
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
Calibrate battery "deep-cycle"

Even though it is not recommended to fully discharge Li-Ion batteries it is advised to do this if you want to recalibrate your battery.

1. Discharge battery completely.

2. Charge the maximum with the supplied wall charger while having the device powered off. Keep it charging until you see the fully charged LED notification

3. Repeat process 3 times

You’ve recalibrated your battery.

Remark:

Conflicting with the battery level reporting:

Sometimes it was fully charged, but was read at 90%, Difficult to discharge!!!

Also, if you want to make sure it is completely discharged, you can discharging it while in BootLoader mode. - How to enter BootLoader mode ? Powered off device and press and hold vol down + power on.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anubistcp:
Currently I'm running Com 2.1 with 5/31 -50v PBJT kernel. Which so far seems to be running fine. The phone charges fine, provided I have the phone already turned on. The problem occurs if I turn the phone off and plug in the cable. It doesn't matter whether its via the wall or computer.

The battery symbol will show up on the screen and I'll see the animation symbol that shows up in the battery. But the symbol freezes, no battery status will show up. Power button doesn't work. I can tap the bottom buttons and they'll light up. The only thing to do is pull the battery.

Anyone run across anything remotely similar?

thx

And most importantly, of course burried deep on the website: SugarSync security

Summary: Well, apparently no improvement in the encryption department when compared to Dropbox. They handle the encryption keys, not you. Essentially, they have full access to anything you upload unless you have encrypted the stuff yourself before uploading.

P.S. Nice reading: SugarSync vs Dropbox : The Alternative You Never Asked For

[Android Apps and Games] jrjmpls:
I'd be very careful with this app. In my case, it deleted several files after I made changes to them. Also, it won't remember settings on the phone. I've chatted with the support people and sent them several copies of the logs. They always promise to get back to me about the problems-but it's been almost three weeks now. I've begged them for a response-but nothing. I'd steer clear of this.
[Android Apps and Games] doktornotor:
Gotta agree. Looks to be pretty much same junk as dropbox.
[Android Apps and Games] XlAfbk:
It's Java, that explains the size. The Windows app is quite nice, Android still lacking a bit but hopefully that'll be fixed soon. Devs respond very fast if stuff breaks, feature requests really depend on their importance and time.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cybermaus:
I have an difficulty with my ringtone on my Android 2.2.1 on no-name Chinese hardware

Whenever I put it into silent mode (for example from the lock screen (stock Android lock screen), it nicely goes silent, and shows the appropriate vibrate notification icon.

But if I undo that, even though the volume settings go to max again and the vibrate notification goes away, I still get no sound when someone calls. In fact, if I press volume up, I see a warning that "Silent ringtone selected" as subtext to the volume slider.

I have to go to my audio file and hard set it as ringtone again to get it to make a sound again while ringing.

Anyone recognizes this issue and knows how this is caused, and/or how I can prevent it?

I realize it may be some script or config file the Chinese messed up, so some hints as to what script or config file for this may help me also.

PS: I did search the net and XDA for "silent ringtone" but to no avail

[HTC EVO 3D] mazinya:
Ok, so up until now, i was sure i am going to get the sensation. Then the EVO came out but it was only for the USA people so as much as i wanted it, i couldnt have it... but now that a GSM version has been announced, i am rethinking about which phone to get.

specs wise, the EVO is slightly better. the only thing i am worried about is the weight of the phone.. 170g seems to be quite hefty.

Unfortunately, in my country there are no stores who will be selling the EVO, so i cant just go and feel it in my hand. If i want the phone i will have to order it online from Europe and rely mostly on peoples feedback about it.

So i guess the question is.. is it really that heavy in a way it feels quite uncomfortable to put it in your jeans pocket? All reviews say that the sensation feels thinner and smaller in hand for a 4.3 screen. How is the feeling with the EVO?

Despite the better specs of the EVO, would the sensation be a better choice? please provide honest and unbiased answers for that please as much as possible

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] nkd:
its not heavy by any means, not the lightest but heavy is kinda over the top. I haven't gotten mine yet but my friend has hers and I held it, it felt average to me. I actually preferred the size and the grip it had.
[HTC EVO 3D] tweston1:
It's a heavier phone. I love it. This phone is of the highest build quality and, the weight speaks to that fact. HTC didn't skimp on materials.

It feels fine in my pocket. I don't even notice it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
I think they skimped out on the camera button. If you move your phone around to fast it sounds like the button rattles. I've tested this on like 5 different phones so its not just mine...

@op it feels like a gold brick in your pocket don't buy it!

(saracsm is due to if your going to judge a phone based on its weight and feel buy a Steve jobs brick aka iphone)

sent from a phone you can't afford
[HTC EVO 3D] mazinya:
saracsm was not necessary. If i wanted an iphone i would have bought one like the rest of the herd in my country.

Besides, theres nothing wrong with looking at a phone's weight when considering a purchase. If it wasnt important, then reviewers wouldnt have given notes about it when making the review. Its the same thing as judging a phone by its screen size. not everyone feels comfortable with having a phone with a screen size of 4.3

And yes, i am perfectly aware that it is 170g cuz it is made of premium materials and not cheap plastic, but still, the sensation is also made of good materials and yet weighs less
[HTC EVO 3D] nate420:
Don't worry bud I'm just trollin tonight... Don't take offence.. if you knew me you would know that I have a dry sense of humor.

Ok now back to the topic

The sensation has one camera

EVO 3d has 2... Not saying that is where all of The extra weight comes in but take all this the EVO 3d has into consideration before saying there the same and should weigh the same.. witch is what I got out of the last sentence you wrote

sent from a phone you can't afford
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I had the EVO 4G and the 3d feels slightly lighter.
[HTC EVO 3D] Zoidpilot:
I have the 3D and the EVO 4G and it feels sort of the same with one in each hand... I have to admit though, the 3D feels more solid
[HTC EVO 3D] liverstealerJobs:
Heaviness is in the pocket of the beholder.

It is not light. Your tolerance level may be different than mine. Best thing to do is visit a retailer with a working 3VO and feel for yourself.

Oops, sorry. Didn't read completely. It is tolerable for me. You don't want to be running with it in your pocket.
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
It has some weight to it but you get used to it quickly. I actually kind of like it being so heavy, if you keep it in your front pocket you can feel it there and it helps to remind me not smash it. As for the build quality, I never noticed that about the camera button until I read nate420's post and put it up to my ear to shake it. Otherwise I probably would have never noticed it. The phone itself is solid and the things a beast, but the Sensation definitely does look better. Still it's not as ugly as I thought it would be from looking at pictures. IMO the screen makes up for all of it's flaws though, I wasn't expecting much from it but it actually feels like it's a progression where most companies now are just adding a few more pixels here and there or over saturating the colors so people think it has crazy contrast (S-AMOLED)

After having it for nearly a week, I'm over the initial shock of going from the Hero to this bad boy. It's starting to feel smaller and slimmer the more I use it.

[HTC EVO 3D] darksurfr:
This is what I was going to ask. If anyone had an Otterbox yet.

The phone itself is quite manageable weight wise. It seems lighter then the Evo 4G but maybe that is just my mind playing tricks on me.
[HTC EVO 3D] TX2000:
And remeber. Because of the 3D ther is a extra screen on top of the regular one so we cab see it in 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] ydoucare:
I came from a Samsung Epic, and it's quite a bit heavier, but the Epic itself is really light compared to most phones. Personally, I like a heavier phone, it feels more solid.

My wife still has a unrooted Hero and it is sad. She isn't eligible for an upgrade until next year.
[HTC EVO 3D] dcfella:
I think I read that the 4G and 3D are the same weight, but the 3D definitely feels lighter to me. Maybe because the weight is distributed in a different manner, but it it's more comfortable for me to hold(along with being slimmer). The Sensation is definitely lighter though. It even felt much lighter than my gf's Mytouch 4G while we compared it.
