Can receive and send texts for free using GV!

16:35:54 : Daisy Y: At this time Google Voice text messaging doesn't support sending and receiving text messages from international numbers, with the exception of Canadian numbers. You can only send and receive text messages to phone numbers in the U.S and Canada.

16:38:00 : nayeem01: ok

16:38:05 : nayeem01: i have a further question

16:38:13 : Daisy Y: Sure.

16:38:56 : nayeem01: i know i can only send texts to US and Canada phone numbers. but I am in Europe at the current time. my phone is off. but i am using google voice on my computer to send text messages. is there a charge for that?

16:39:14 : nayeem01: my google voice number and sprint number are merged.

16:41:04 : Daisy Y: Yes, you will be charged for text @ $0.20 for the text.

16:41:38 : nayeem01: Why is that I am not even using my sprint phone? I am texting from my computer.

16:43:14 : Daisy Y: Let me confirm again.

16:43:19 : Daisy Y: Please give me a moment.

16:45:33 : nayeem01: Ok. My phone is OFF and does not even get service in London so its physically impossible for me to send/receive messages here. But, I can use the Google Voice site to send/receive messages to my normal Sprint number because they are merged. Just want to confirm there's no charge when I am texting from Google's Voice website even though its my Sprint Phone number.

16:46:59 : Daisy Y: Nayeem, you are correct. You will not be charge for the send text via Internet through your computer.

16:47:40 : nayeem01: even though it is using my sprint phone number?

16:47:49 : Daisy Y: Yes.

16:48:16 : nayeem01: Ok. Can you please notate this on my account so if I have any charges next month, I can tell them to read the notes.

16:48:39 : Daisy Y: Yes, I have put the note on your account.

and Try to Turn Off the phones Radio! Try that....

Good Luck!

Anyone made a ROM without radio?

Getting my new phone tomorrow, and want to make my phone completetly without radio, to use as a mediaplayer for use in my car.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dastin1015:
There is no ROM without radio. Radio is not a part of the ROM, but a part of the software below that level. I could make a completely stripped down ROM that only has what you want in it if you want. You just have to disable your radio yourself.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxdfireman:
Does anyone know if this will also disable the ability to dial 911?

Hi,

I'm using Atrix OLYRF_U4_1.8.3 with Android 2.2.2. I installed GladRoot and everything went perfect. SuperUser app is on the menu and I can install untrusted apps. However when I try to access root priviliges over adb shell it says permission denied. How can I get it work?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacFriend:
How can I get GMail on my SGS1 to sync ALL of my emails? I have never been able to sync to the phone more than half a year worth of emails.

In the GMail app, I have the set "Duration/Number of days to sync" to the maximum 999 days. On the lables "Inbox" and "Sent" I have tried both "Sync all" and "Sync 999 days".

This is probably not a rom issue because I have had this problem with various stock and custom roms. I even had this problem with a briefly used SGS2. I must be missing some setting in the GMail app.

Your help would be very much appreciated. (I have tried searching, believe me.)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Why dont you try for 2 weeks and see if it works. I havent tried for 999 days but if it does not work then probably it's a bug. Report it at http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MacFriend:
What should I try for two weeks? What is your suggestion?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mammenj:
Instead of 'sync for 999 days', try 'sync for 14 days' and see if it works.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lsdozer:
Apparently I dont know how to use the theme kitchen. I have tried on a couple of sense ROM's to change the status bar icons and they wont change. I can change the battery, the boot animation, the glow, fonts, etc.. but no matter what, I cant get the icons to change.

I go to the kitchen and choose Battery/icons/black status bar icons and G14 icons, then I go to my ROM and select the three files for the kitchen (gingerbread with sense) and upload. the kitchen cooks my order and I download it, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash in recovery.

Everything changes except the status bar icons.

FWIW, I have asked twice in the actual theme kitchen thread started by mendozinas, but I cant get an answer. I have also searched and see where other people have had problems with same thing, but dont seem to find an answer.

"Apple may also curb any S II release since it has expanded its complaints to factor in the phone and possibly ban its sale if the complaint is upheld".

http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/7590667-samsung-breaks-own-record-with-galaxy-s-ii-sales

This could be a good thing for US buyers and keep the value of the phone up.

However I am still trying to wade through the process differences between the Captivate and SGS II since I will be flashing both.
[Galaxy S II General] Beefheart:
Hilarious considering how much of Apple's hardware is made by Samsung.

Apple really do make me laugh, use other people's ideas then try to pass them off as their own to the point of taking other companies to court if they use the same ideas.

Apple is so outrageous
[Galaxy S II General] zkyevolved:
True. So since almost one year ago the iphone 4 came out in black, a few months ago the newest was in white! What's next? Transparent (cool!)? And raise it another 100 bucks? Here in Spain the WHITE 32 gig model is 50 euros more expensive than its black counterpart. They're charging more .... FOR COLOR!? isn't that some sort of racism? lol.
[Galaxy S II General] blunted09:
Its just business and apple is the master of it...for now.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Steps to a successful apple product launch:

1) Identify competing products that came first, and are better

2) Sue them, and get an injunction on the sales of the product

3) Release sub-standard product to an uncompetitive market

....

5) winning

It's cheating, and when a judge gets sick of it, we all know what way Apple's shares will go...
[Galaxy S II General] tbong777:
Brilliant.......and true.
[Galaxy S II General] DSA:
the story of apple (itunes coverflow is a classic example)

who aren't they sue'ing? nokia and htc are also being dragged through the courts atm

iOS 5 with its 'notification center' :rolleyes:

its status quo, it will get dragged out for so long as both companies have endless amounts of money to throw at it...one upmanship..thats all :)

i hate apple, and the fact their marketing seems to work on so many people...
[Galaxy S II General] a67543210:
Apple has been known to release it's products in a period of the year when most do not release hardware.this is to enable iphone to be the only hype on tv, as opposed to many companies all advertising their new gadget and sharing the crowd.

Also, Apple makes tons of money through a marketing technique it's a master for.i don't blame them.

Problem now is, they've been selling low spec gadgets at premium prices while the others were sleeping.Now Samsung is up, releasing a Super amoled phone, micro sd slot, bluetooth working with all devices, wireless sync, keyboard integrated voice control and the list goes on. This is a SERIOUS treat even to the most robust apple marketing techniques.They are therefore trying to clear the best phone out of the way in preparation for the iphone 5 arrival.

They've updated ios by copying lots of android functions and a release with SGS2 on the way will prompt alot of comments like ' this resembles such and such function of the SGS2', instead of the other way round as had been the norm.this has the potential of dilluting or destroying apple's brand name, something they are ready to pay any price to avoid.

If they band SGS2, tab 10.1 in the US, samsung should also request for all iphones to be taken off shelves in europe, korea etc, when they win their own court case.
[Galaxy S II General] a67543210:
Apple is really worth burning down.they sued a company for using a GUI on their software without license. The company allowed apple to take them to court.in court they showed that they had payed licensing fees to xerox, who were the rightful owners of the GUI apple had copied and now claimed to own. Watchout for them patenting the android notification centre and all the open source ideas they've stolen to later sure them next year.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
I believe el-G already has a kind of patent on the notification system, as I am sure I've seen the document :)

I think if it's true, it would be a good time for all android users to stand up in court as witnesses and say this was the reason they bought android :)

Then, apple are in doo-doo...

[Acer Iconia A500] gamestar21:
just got iconia a few days ago, and i have updated to 3.1 and I am rooted, however the problem was evident in the stock firmware. In the market whenever I try to download Facebook or words with friends, it says "requested item could not be found". Perhaps I'm the only one that doesn't know about these apps not working on the iconia/honeycomb but it is very frustrating as I would rather use my tablet for these apps than having to grab my phone. Anyone else have the same problem with these apps or others? And can anyone give me some insight on how to fix this problem. Thank you
[Acer Iconia A500] dogbots159:
Personally, I just used the link. But, I have noticed this happening to quite a few apps I try to download. If the app is free on the market, I tend to look for the apk on Google. Good luck!
[Acer Iconia A500] Tevac:
I have a similar problem with 3.0 on my Iconia - I cant download paid apps ("requested item could not be found"), just free ones. From what I found on google this should be an issue of the market country and if this country already has paid content allowed.

If you got the update to 3.1, was it a Chinese one?

My Iconia is from Taiwan directly, so it would fit your problem.

If you are rooted, please try "Market enabler" , this should help. I wont root my Tab before the office 3.1 comes to Germany, so I would be very interested to know, if this works.

@tommytomatoe

How and which file to edit for the right Rosie "personalize" button? Many people want to return this to stock function but can't.

What would really be AWESOME is to incorporate the "personalize" function into the Rosie Settings app so that people will have complete control of the right Rosie button! Would this be possible? Thanks for all your work and info!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I'm not sure that it is possible with Rosie settings....but I can for sure post a how to to revert it back. It is rather simple.

TT,

As someone who makes minor cosmetic tweeks to my stock rooted EVO, I would love to be able to make some Rosie mods to Sense 1.0. Any possibility getting some help with that? I'm looking to remap the "+" button on the far right to a camera button. Any help or direction would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bigkippa:
Sorry that was supposed to say "stock rooted EVO" not android.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
For stock Sense 1.0 Evo,

Rosie.apk/res/drawable/hdpi/

Look for "icon_add_on.png" and "icon_add_rest.png"

Replace those two.

How?

Use 7z to open the apk as an archive. Don't extract. Just replace the desired files.

Download this:generic update.zip

Open that up in 7z.

Place Rosie.apk in system/app/

Sign it if you know how to

Boot into recovery and flash

ALternatively, you dont have to flash. Just run: adb push Rosie.apk /system/app/Rosie.apk

All done :-)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bsmoove386:
Great Guide

Once I figure out how to finally use all these tools properly. I can really start creating some mods. This will be a great way to start thanks tommy you been very helpful to this community.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MadDogMaddux:
I'd love to see how to remap the rosie graphics so that they don't have to be as wide across. Do you remember the smaller central layout that DG4FREE had for Warm RLS5? I'd love to be able to do that on Synergy.

Also, how about a way to remap the buttons so that the center button is App Drawer?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Great Ideas. But unfortunately no one has been able to remap the Sense 2.1 Rosie for any device. Placing the app drawer in the center is not like it was before on Sense 1.0 with simple changes to the layout. It is in smali.

As for the smaller centered Layout. That is easy. That is in the layouts. I will go ahead and do this one. Give me a couple minutes. I don't know and can't try this on Sense 2.1+, but this method works on Sense 1.0.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
using apktool, where is the output apk once you build it? The instructions for all of this doesn't go into great detail but i managed to get my rosie smali edit done but cant find the apk after i did the command to build... Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
I am working on Apktool instructions. This Guide assumes you know Apktool.

Once built, there are twp folders:

build and dist

Build has all your apk components, but not in apk form.

Dist has your apk in apk form, but not signed.

Take original Meta inf from ORIGINAL apk, and place inside the one in dist. Done.

OR alternatively, take the only pieces and parts you modified from the build folder and place in ORIGINAL apk. For example, smali edits. Take the classes.dex from the build folder and place in original apk. Done.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
Hey thanks tommy! I'll see if I can do this, if not I'll wait for your future instructions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
I'm a bit confused. In order to place my edited smali files in the original apk or put original .dex file etc into the newly created apk, don't I have to decompile the apk before I can place edited files into it? If so then I already decompiled my Rose.apk, made edits to smali, build the apk and at the point it is not signed. Do I need to decompile this new apk and place my original files you mentioned into it? But the original apk was signed correctly to begin with so that's why I'm so confused. Sorry to be annoying but there something missing that I'm not doing. Thanks again Tommy!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
Oh btw, I noticed there's several lines of additional code in Launcher.smali that coincides with Rose Settings app. Therefore I think it might be more edits in order to return the right Rosie button to stock. I'd much rather pay for a flashable zip that will do this. Any takers? I have a lot of patience but trial & error is killing me LOL.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
You do not need to decompile the apk to add files to it. :-) Utilize a tool called 7z or BetterZip (Mac OS X). This will allow you to put the original META INF into the new apk, found in the DIST folder.

DOn't worry about the additional lines. Leave them there. :-) This line is all it takes.

invoke-direct {p0}, Lcom/htc/launcher/Launcher;->addItems()V

Here is the reason. When you change it back to addItems, it will call for the method "addItems", which is the stock. Once changed, the method "LaunchCustom" is ignored. It can exist and not be used. :-)

And yes, I can make it for you. Which ROM? Synergy?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
Yes Synergy RC1. You are a hero my friend! Thank you very much for explaining this to me.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
1. Remap Rosie Right Button back to STOCK Function, ie Personalize Menu. Note. Removes RosieSettingsSynergy.apk

2. Replaces Original Synergy Rosie with Rosie Settings. Note. Undoes #1
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
Thanks T! I did everything to the best I could but with the final apk in system/apps, my phone stays on the boot animation and will not boot. I'm sure your mods will work perfectly! Thanks a lot T!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bsmoove386:
TT i finally got the systemUi.apk to work thanks alot...

Im trying to start editing the Rosie however I am a bit confused as to why we don't decompile the com.htc.resources.apk but we decompile the Rosie.apk. Also with 7z i can find the file but I'm unable to open it up using Gimp so I can edit the background.

Basically, I'm a bit confused as to how do I go about editing the background as well as what do I do after editing.

Edit; well i think i finally figured out why now. No need to decomplie an apk if you only editing the .png images right? Decompiling is only necessary for editing xml and smali files correct?!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tx_dbs_tx:
Correct. You must decompile in order to view and make edits to smali files.

As for the .png image files, you can edit those and overwrite/replace the originals. I use Corel PaintShopPro XII because it allows much more features when working with graphic files. Adobe PhotoShop is also great.

I can say that T has been very helpful in sharing his knowledge and giving instructions on editing Rosie. I still have to get used to apktool and how that works with aol files, but as for image angel graphics... I'm a master. I'll be glad to share my Rosie png's in a couple of days. I'll just PM them to T and he can build the Rosie with them and share for everyone. Probably in a different thread since this is a "how to" thread. I'm still learning apk building and I don't know how to make flammable zip files yet. But the good news is I CAN READ!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bsmoove386:
Yea hes been very helpful with me as well. I'm not too familiar with using graphic/photo shop tools..I edited the png buttons so far but all i did was make them purple. Do you happen to know what I can do to make them a glossy purple when pressed. FYI im just editing the Rosie to match Mutant's Purple theme for my gf she loves purple so I want to have her phone all purped out also create a wallpaper as well
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tommytomatoe:
Thanks guys. I always believe in sharing knowledge. It is the best. :-)

And yes. Png editing does not require decompile. Only xml and smali.
