No launcher installed except the original one. I have gingerbread. Phone rooted, but disppearance happened before. First time when I arrive in amman and get connected there. Contacts icon gone. Then 2 others here in yemen for no reason as I was in yemen before without prblm
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Woolf:
Sorry, I haven't used TouchWiz launcher since i was on eclair - however, by far the best advice I can give you, would be to install launcher pro or zeam free from the market.

There are many others, but these are probably the easiest. Zeam is very basic and light, lp has more features. Get them both, find which one suits you best. You won't be disappointed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kokbosh:
Tks for advice. I bought adw launcher. This does not answer my question but better now. Still have to fiddle with it... Best!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hofinho:
You have to press the menu button while being in app drawer. then press config just as when you deinstall apps from your drawer. Now you can drag and drop whatever you want

Thank you. Will keep the tip. Btw, if I want to buy another android phone, maybe gal s2... I can move the apps or I have to buy all anew?

I wonder why not all news apps or others do not allow to access to dictionaries when u need to know meaning of one word bu long tapping on it? This would be a real plus, no?
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
Hey everyone that hasnt tried the new perm temp root needs to go ahead and get it. I was finally able to install the new swype beta after deleting all of the neccesay files via root explorer.

honestly I think the easiest way it to root the phone with the new perm temp root and then use root explorer and do a search in the root of the phone.

Just type in swype and delete everything you see. One these are deleted download the swype beta installer and the rest is hisory.

And barnacle is working like a wonder. Im using it now to type this on the laptop.
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
but when you reboot, all of swypes learned predictions are gone and you are reverted to the stock swype, right? Or does swype stay working after a reboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
im pretty sure it will revert. but I have not tried it just yet. Personally I think ive rebooted this phone twice ever!!! lol unless im trying to root
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
mind giving it a whirl since you already have the swype installed??? :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
It reverted, however, after you re-temproot, then just use TB, uninstall the system swype pkg, rerun the swype installer and it works again.
[HTC EVO 3D] shad0w77:
yeah but you lost all your predicitions...
[HTC EVO 3D] xanadu1979:
That's a lot of work.
[HTC EVO 3D] greg.dassing:
Whats wrong with the Swype it came with?? I am so ****ing fed up with having to redownload updates every week using Beta Swype! Whats the difference between the new Swype Beta and the one preloaded?
[HTC EVO 3D] vudu:
I was just planning on backing up Swype with Titanium backup before rebooting to save custom words. Not sure that will work, but I'll find out when I need to reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vdubtx:
The preloaded one will stop working correctly after some time. Your traces will no longer register, your switch to the SYM screen will not change over to key in numbers quickly, ....
[HTC EVO 3D] Compusmurf:
Not much you can do until everything is unlocked and we can make it a more permanent solution. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] rxc777:
worked on mine on first try but wifi wont work
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
Are you using barnacle???
[HTC EVO 3D] benjimatt:
I guess I just dont really have much of a need to restart......

I hate the swype thats preloaded with that stupid en/es button. I may live in new mexico but i dont speak spanish lol
[HTC EVO 3D] blackroseMD1:
Well, at least I can temporarily use the much better version of Swype. Can't stand the preinstalled one. Especially that damn EN/ES button that I'm always hitting on accident.
[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
The beta is much better.

So question, couldn't you just restore your settings etc from titanium backup AFTER you install the beta after a reboot? That might save your settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
Bump

Can anyone try what i said on previous post?
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Why not try yourself?

Also the swype 3.0 is definitely the best version out there. Still running it on my OG4G and it's hard to go to the 3vo and use the old version.
[HTC EVO 3D] polo79:
E

i'm not rooted yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] ST9:
If your stock Swype stops working normal, meaning trace won't show and keyboard such on caps, all you have to do is go to settings>applications>manage apps> look for Swype and force close it and delete data. Then next time you open it up, it will work normal again. I know it would suck if you had to constantly do it but I've restarted it once since I got the 3D and so far, no more problems.

Hope this helps some people.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
I scuffed up the factory screen protector. Is there any trick or method preferred to remove it? e.g. hair dryer or some solvent to loosen the glue?

And if anyone knows, is getting a quote Military Grade unquote such as the Zagg products worth $25 over some 3 for $5 on ebay screen protector?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Lol, i hit thanks instead of quote..

Anyway, I just got my fingernail underneath it in the bootom right corner and pulled it off....its a bit harder than the usual ones but it just came straight off with one pull.

And what better is, the glass gets less dirsty and scratched than the screen protcter...i think the only reason its on there is to keep bits of glass stuck to it in case you crack the screen. The scrren certainly looks better without it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tada1228:
Yeah I was wondering the same thing. I thought it was a screen protector and I've been digging at it with my nails but it's soo hard to come off, so I thought that it wasn't a screen protector and that I was just damaging my phone. But it's good to know that it actually is one. Damn though, it's soo hard to get off!!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Brenardo:
I think it would be pretty sweet to get a lock screen that "scanned your fingerprint".

I know there is probably no way for the Xoom to actually do that but seems like something cool.

I am thinking like a button you touched with a slider of light that starts slightly above and "scans" down then back up... maybe a second and a half delay....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
Sounds like a pretty cool idea. And it might be possible. I'll see if I can come up with something to add to my current project.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
Just a little test trial. Worked out pretty nicely to be honest. Might try to enhance it in the near future if there's a high demand for it. Here's a couple screen shots.

;D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jsms0905:
thats awesome!!!!! i want it!! lol anyway i can be a tester?;D im on tiamate 1.1 though. idk if that would change anything
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
I'm glad you like it. I will put it in an .zip and PM you after I get off work. Also i'll have a full theme for tiamat rom within a few days or so depending on how busy I get. Still unsure if I will have this lock screen as default on it, as it still needs to be customized a bit.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
For those of you that wanted the lock screen, i've added it to the stock framework for tiamat 1.1 rom only. All you have to do is use root explorer or something similiar and move the file in to /system/framework/ and overwrite the existing framework-res.apk.

If you have a special request for this in a different rom, or stock files just ask. I can easily add it. If you use it, and enjoy it, than don't forget to thank.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Now is this a just for fun anyones finger placed on their will unlock it or is it so only ur fingerprint can unlock it...or is that even possible.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
I'm afraid that isn't even possible. This is just for fun. Someone requested it, I created it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Yea, I figured as much. Who knows though maybe in the future that or even a eye scanner like that will be possible on phones, tablets, and ipads, lol....Anyway, good job on making this for everyone :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] twinkyz1979:
What about facial recognition using the front facing camera?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ridilen:
I love the whole idea.

To add to it, create an invisible hotspot, say the bottom left corner.

You have to hold here

and

then scan your finger print.

If you only scan it fails, if you hold the magic spot and scan, it passes.

Could you incorporate this with the security features of the Xoom, instead of the pattern lock!?!?!?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
That is an cool idea...in fact it maybe could be intergrated into a app for multi-touch android devices.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Brenardo:
this is pretty much awesome. Will this work with XoomZone?

Thank you for bringing ?his idea to life.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
It should work with XoomZone. I'm not sure what other modifications he has done to the framework-res.apk, so if he has any extras it could possible wipe them out and put you back on a stock tiamat 1.1 framework.

If you run something other than tiamat rom just pm me with your info and ill put it in the correct framework.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Brenardo:
works good with XoomZone. It does however remove alot of the Blue themeing.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sushibagel:
Looks Great!

This looks pretty great! Will it work on a stock rooted wifi 3.2?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Instien:
NO! I do not suggest replacing the 3.2 framework with the old 3.1. Unfortunately Verizon is being retarded and hasn't released 3.2 for 3g models yet. As soon as this becomes readily available for me I will make some adjustments and create a thread with modifications for every version.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Sushibagel:
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply I look forward to the update.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eaglecomm:
My wife's new HP computer uses the built-in webcam to do facial recognition to log her in. The software is called HP ProtectTools I think.. but instead of just using the fingerprint reader to allow login.. it took about 15 pictures of her face. Then when she has to log in, she clicks the facial option and the webcam turns on. It logged her in instantly. She can still use the fingerprint or manually type in a keyword in case the facial recognition doesn't work.

That would be a cool addition. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vari9:
Try visidon app lock...(search in the market).....it locks app.... uses face recognition......but you could use it just after unlocking the normal lock screen by keeping an app running in the background( the app shouldd be ticked in the checklist of the app lock and it should work with multitasking.....)....

I Hope this helps....
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Is that possible to write some script and configure the sensation through adb:

thus i could automatic setup my phone after factory reset.

Or are there any better way to do? Thanks.

[HTC Sensation] madindehead:
You want to turn OFF the automatic contact sync to be able to automatically setup the phone after a factory reset...

1) You need the sync on so all your contacts sync

2) In it's the damn account options in the settings menu, seriously dude...

What a dumb question.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
Skip that part in the setup and then complete it later. That's what I do since you can't configure it from the setup to not sync contacts

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
I'm sure there is an article or thread somewhere that outlines things like what is stored to the 2gb miniSD, what goes on the 16gb, if there is a built in memory chip and what is on that.

If anybody can point to one, I would be very appreciative.

I'd also like a link to a definitive explanation of what happens during the different types of recoveries. What is the difference between using zip files and pkg files, for example. How come some zip updates only make small changes but others can completely rewrite the phone and brick it?

What does it take to do the equivalent of formatting your computer and starting completely over with a fresh phone? I mean cleaning everything out.

What is it about this phone that a full nandroid backup will successfully bring back the phone one day and fail miserably the next?

I want to really understand this phone, because I am not going back to a smaller screen so it looks like I'm stuck with it for a while because there just doesn't appear to be a mad rush of manufacturers releasing 5 inch phones.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdzo72:
There are many out there, too many to list as a matter of fact... if you just use the Search function you will find all your answers. I hate to sound rude but this is just the type of thing the search is meant for. There are several guides that outline all you want to know, but I point them out to you, you won't be any the wiser by just clicking on them. The jargon you have to go through to get to the meat of your questions will teach you everything you need to know along the way.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mid_life_crisis:
I've tried searching. The problem is choosing words that get usable results without also getting a ton of useless ones to wade through.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
There is no single article where you can get all of this info. Best general resource is the XDA Wiki on the Streak.

For more info on the workings of the inner SD Card see this thread at MoDaCo.

The stock recovery will install .pkg files (update.pkg or OTA upgrades). These are a full replacement for the software on your phone. When installing as an update.pkg file it is best to use the recovery for the version you are installing.

When installing an OTA update the recovery that preceded the one you are installing should work if your are 'upgrading' to a ROM from the same region, the checks that are done during an OTA update will prevent a phone from one region using an OTA update from another region. The advantage to using the OTA update process is that you retain your apps and settings. OTA updates are done by downloading the file to your phone and then tapping the DL notification in the notification bar.

A custom recovery (use StreakMod recovery) will write .zip files. These files can be a theme like a new notification bar or a ROM like StreakDroid or SimpleStreak. Custom recoveries are able to write a subset of the phones software. Most custom ROMS are not a full replacement for the the phones software, which is why they may include directions to flash a certain baseband or other additional files.

Installing a stock rom with a stock recovery from recovery mode will do this. Since a stock ROM is the whole software package this will also make sure that the baseband and amss.nbn files are all in sync (same version). Doing this or a factory reset formats the internal SD Card.

I have never had a nandroid backup fail. I use StreakMod recovery.

[HTC Inspire 4G] DPLOY:
When I am on speaker phone (no headset attached) please say I break up when speaking - every time. However when I have a headset attached or use the phone normally its perfect.

Anyone else have this issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] g3ismeee:
Do you have your phone turned upside down or screen facing up when on speakerphone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] DPLOY:
Facing up...does that matter?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Yes it does.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DPLOY:
It does? Is the mic for speaker phone different than the one for regular use? Maybe that's the issue...
[HTC Inspire 4G] audiophan:
I have to agree, the speakerphone with stock rom seems to have poor functionality. I'm usually holding the phone with the microphone (which I assume is the little hole next to the USB port) directed toward my mouth, but callers usually have difficulty understanding me and the speaker tends to exhibit a lot of static.
[HTC Inspire 4G] DPLOY:
So custom ROMS do better with this specifically?

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] webyrd:
Using Opera Mobile 11.1 on my NC running CM7 on EMMC, really like Opera, but it seems like Opera only remembers 5-6 sets of login information. After I log into a new web-site, it seems to lose the login information on one or more of the other web-sites that I had previously saved login information for. I do have accept cookies and remember passwords enabled in settings, and have not cleared or deleted private data. This does not happen on my phone using Opera Mini. Any idea what could be causing this or suggestions to fix?

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] morpheus_1987:
I have a similar issue on my Captivate (found this via Google). Opera forgets my logins but I don't think its related to having logged into other websites. I'm quite confident that after a period of browsing and returning to the website which I had logged into, I would be required to login again even if I told it to keep me logged in. This is something that keeps me going back to Dolphin Mini, but Operas pan/zoom is just so much smoother :(
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] swaaye:
I'm having this problem with Opera Mobile too. Logins are lost rapidly. I think it's a cookie problem because that's how these sites remember you signed in. I submitted a big report to Opera but they replied saying that they can't reproduce the issue....

Anyone remember if CM7 stable had this issue with Opera? I'm on a nightly.
