My mom is looking for a new battery, but does not want the 3500 that I have because its too big. She wants one that will fit with the original battery cover. Does anyone have suggestions for brand/longest lasting battery that fits?

thank you
[Droid Incredible Accessories] k_nivesout:
It seems like a lot of people have had good luck with the 1900 mAh batteries from htcexpress.com, and there's also the seidio 1750 mAh battery. Both will fit with the stock battery cover.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] EKhatch1:
I have been using the Seidio 1750 and it has been okay. I can't really compare it to stock because I have had in in the phone since I got it because I had it in my Eris before. I just ordered a 1900 that the above poster is talking about after reading good things about it in this thread.

[Droid Incredible Accessories] POQbum:
Well that's not much of a jump from 1750 to 1900- just make sure you recalibrate your battery to get the most out of it.

I just got mine in 2 days ago, and coming from the 2150HTC extended battery it's pretty nice- lasts me all day with using GPS and a whole lotta data.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] nrvous1:
Same here.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] POQbum:
Same, if there were better cases for it then I'd probably still be using it.

OEM EVO 4G 1500mah battery here
[Droid Incredible Accessories] liteon163:
I've been using the 1750 mAh Seidio battery since I got my phone a few days after it came out. I've never been too disappointed in it. If I beat it hard it drains quickly, but under moderate use I can get 24 hours out of it.

If I had to get a new battery today, I'd go with the 1900 mAh battery from HTC Express, though.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Flyhalf205:
Has anyone ever tried this extended battery? http://gorillagadgets.com/3500mah-htc-incredible-extended-battery-with-back-plate.html

I got a 1900 mah battery too. I don't think my battery life is that good. Jester you running stock kernel or Tiny's?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] keej:
Any idea which of the several 1900 mAh batteries at htcexpress.com people have been getting? It looks like there are multiple manufacturers, unless I'm reading things incorrectly. Thanks!

[HTC Desire S] Elcs:
Hello there,

After my 16 Gb SD card decided that after I removed my phone from the PC in USB Hard Drive mode to become corrupted in some way, I decided that I'd check out HTC Sync to see what I could do to make sure that I kept my collection of photos as up to dat as possible.

Picture synchronisation is great. Works fine and takes mere seconds to hook up.

My problem comes down to music... and it's probably because I'm an awkward so-and-so.

I use FLAC for all of my music, with the exception of any iTunes and Amazon MP3 music I buy. It might be bulkier on the capacity requirements but I prefer it over MP3. HTC Sync won't sync up .flac files it seems and it would mean switching to MP3 or finding another way of doing this.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to sync flac files? The best I can think of is renaming .flac to .mp3. AFAIK, it should not change the file content or quality and should play normally through an app (PowerAMP in my case)
[HTC Desire S] Deleted member 2496007:
I use a very handy app called Syncness. It automatically copies all new files (regardless of format) in nominated folders to a specified spot on my pc each time it sees my home wifi ssid, or when I manually hit the 'sync now' button within the app.

It's a bit tricky to set up at first, but the developer is without doubt the best I've encountered on android marketplace and responds to questions extremely quickly.
[HTC Desire S] Elcs:
Thanks for the tip!

App costs and is 4 stars, but a lot of negative reviews lately. It does not inspire me.
[HTC Desire S] Numline1:
Hey. WinAMP can manage and sync your music library to Android device (even without WinAMP mobile app) and you can use default music player.
[HTC Desire S] Elcs:
Syncness seems to work flawlessly on Wifi. I've only run a test sync so far but I'm confident that it will work just as I need it to.

[GUIDE] How to decompile an apk <updated w/ guide><updated with compiling>

How to decompile an .APK:​

Step 1:

Download >>This<< this is a tool for decompiling an .apk (i take no credit for this tool i did not make it i cant remember where i got it but the credit goes to the maker)

Step 2:

Now go to your C:\ directory create a new folder (doesnt matter what you name it) now extract the apk_manager to the folder that you created.

Step 3:

Download: >>This<< and also >>This<<

(whatever you are using 7zip or winrar, go into settings and integration and check the .BZ2 file extension)

Step 4:

Extract both files to the other folder in apk_manager

Step 5:

Plug your phone into your computer and pull framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from your /system/framework/ directory and place both files in the other folder

Step 6:

open up command prompt and enter

cd/

cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)

cd other

apktool if framework-res.apk

Step 7:

cd/

cd (whatever you named the folder that you put apk_manager)

cd other

apktool if twframework-res.apk

Step 8:

now grab the apk that you want to decompile and place it in the place-apk-here-for-modding folder

Step 9:

open script now enter 22 into command press enter, press corresponding number for your apk for ex. 1 then press enter, now press 9 then enter... APK should now be decompiling (decompiled apk should be in the projects folder)

[size=+2]Compiling[/size]

You do nearly the same thing for compiling an apk press 22 and enter to select what project you want to do, then 11; your apk should be compiled

Let me know if anyone has any problems with this
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
I like how you were excited enough to post about making a post later. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
Lol I was going to do it then but I got sidetracked...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
ok....updated post w/ the guide
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
Going to try this method...

I did my framework-res.apk last night, font color changed for the pop-up windows. seemed to work fine, but then once it booted, i noticed that my volume bar was showing the loading spinner instead of the slider (whoops) and I was unable to get to the volume controls due to FC'ing.

I'll try this method and see if it works for me.

Many thanks for this!

I got so frustrated, I had to pull the toy out of the garage and let it loose down an empty road... lol
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
Lol lmao,hope this works for you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
alos note you will have to delete the resourace arsc out of the apk u decompled and let the apk tool recompile a new one.. espcaly so if using a apk from a diffrent phone
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] shotchacokov:
Yeah I replaced the res directory, the manifest and the resources file with the one that apk tool compiled... I hadn't seen this post until I had already tried another method... Wife sprained her ankle so I won't have the time to try it for a couple of days.

Can I add a color to the colors.xml file the point to it in the styles.xml item?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
how do I get the xml to stick when changing colors.xml in the value folder? When you get to the step to delete from the "keep" folder the value folders aren't there, they are hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jdubb1106:
sorry to hear that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
So any advice on the problems we are both having? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] emelie:

Like I said everything seems to decompile correctly but still I don't like errors ;)

In the end I downloaded apktool by itself and it ran without any errors. Don't know what happened there..

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
thanks for the post man!

I use apk multi tool, myself, but whichever tool you use just be sure to have the latest adb and Java sdk installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
You realize, Java has to be in your path. Also, you should also install twframework.

Apktool if ~pathtotwframework-res.apk
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I use apktool. It works on all platforms and it it uses a later bug free version. Apk manager is a big batch file that uses an old extremely buggy edition of apktool Yes all decompile tools are based on smali, baksmali, and apktool. In fact apktool requires Smali and baksmali to decompile classes.dex and odex files.

The steps to use apktool are.

1. Download apktool(Google it)

2. palace it in an apktool folder on your desktop or somewhere.

3. Download any thing else on the website.for your OS.

4. Unzip everything and add them to your folder. Add the folder to your path or CD to it every time

5. Run terminal or CMD

6.TYPE

apktool if (path to framework Res.apk)

Apktool if (path to twframework Res.apk)

(Now you never will have to worry about dependencies unless you have a new from)

Apktool d apkorjarfile output folder

(Example....

.. apktool d /users/airfluip/desktop/Settings.apk /users/airfluip/desktop/decompiledsettings )

Now it shows progress. It may take some time.

If you get PNG errors, it will still decompile, but copy the original drawable-hdpi folder Into the decompiled one after decompile

Next make changes

Next

Apktool b /foldertodecompiled.

You should have the apk in the "apk" folder in the decompile folder
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rookie407:
so i added java to the path but now i get a pop up java has experianced an error and has to close... what am i doing wrong?

also i have some friends who are using apkmanager just fine and have never put anything in there PATH variable. why is it that they can use apkmanager with no errors and im getting alot?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
This is a problem with your system and java not getting along. ensure you have the latest edition of java installed. If so uninstall it and get a fresh download from the java Website

If the problem persists...um ahhhhh back up your important data and do a system restore? or ask someone else :) I'm not an i.t. Expert but a fresh start is always nice....
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi guys

I need your help.

I'm adding Hebrew support to Valhalla Final.

I was able to decompile all files using APKTOOL like you explained

Added all files RES\Values-IW (with strings taken from SGS-i9000 ROM)

but I get error while trying to re-compile these files :

* Browser

* Contacts

* Framework-res

* Street

* Talk2

* Touchwizcalendar

* Tweaks

Also all the APKs that I successfully recompiled - do not work and not appear in the phone and cause Force Close when I launch them.

10x!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
When that happens, you go to /apk-decompilefolder/build/apk/"Here will be a list of the apks recompiled files". Since you are only messing with values, just copy over "resources.rsrc" into the "original" apk.)winzip,7zip
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:
some of those are system apps which have dependencies, did you decompile them with their dependencies??
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi guys

for sure i am doing something wrong.

when decompiling using APKTOOL i got inside RES folder all the languages values-XX folders.

I did not relate to dependencies nor on target compilation.

Is it a mandatory to decompile with dependency and recompile with dependency ?

If i open the same APK (i decompiled) in WinZip or 7Zip i do not see the values-XX folders inside,

so if I copy the values folder "as is" into the Val.F APK\RES i get non recognized app.

So obviously i am working like a dope & it's not the way.

Where are these vaules hiding ?

Any other way to decompile and recompile ?

Please help ;)

10x !

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
I don't know until you guys send me some files. Also. The values folders become resources.rsrc. so it is normal. If you edited the values, just copy over the resources.rsrc. trust me.

essentially pulled framework-res.apk and framework-htc-res.apk (i guessed on the second one, as twframework-res.apk doesn't exsist on my phone)

then you have to decompile them, and i get errors like:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorkman:
Hi,

I'm running a cyanogenmod 7 nightly from 19 July (but had the same problem with all previous cyanogenmod 7 nightlies as well) on my Wildfire.

GPS always works and worked fine, only when using an app that requires the GPS (navigon, openbmap, google map, google navigations, google tracks....) and I let the screen power-off ==> the phone will reboot afer a random amount of time.

I do run all the programmes of my SD since my internal memory doesn't have enough free space.

This only happens when I'm using the GPS and letting the phone power it's screen off.

My kernel settings are: ONDEMAND min 352, max 729

I'm guessing it might work if I use a higher minimum value or set the kernel to "performance", but shouldn't it automatically work with "ondemand'?

Haven't read anyone else with similar problems and found that a bit weird.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorkman:
I just test it with cpu min frequency also at 729 and it still rebooted

nobody has any clue?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Howard-:
Try not using such a high frequency on your cpu as it is not stable for all try like 652 for a while and definatly dont use the lowest frequency for your low setting.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorkman:
Hmm... I don't really think that is the problem because when I look at my CPUSpy readings i have:

729 MHz : 3:32:51

480 MHz: 1:59:44

352 MHz: 0:36:58

Deep Sleep: 37:38:39

and I've seen occasions where it had run @ 729MHz for more than ten hours...

still screen off + GPS can kill it always in less than 30min

I noticed last night that my Amazon application list went from ~62 apps down to 21. :mad: I immediately emailed Amazon customer service about the issue. Below is a segment of the reply.

The biggest B.S. part of this explanation is that I'm running a few of those "incompatible" applications on my Epic without problem. (Like Fruit Ninja and many others)

I will be giving them a call, as the rest of the email rambled on about doing so if I had further inquires on this topic. Though, I highly doubt one "free app of the day" leech will hardly make a difference in the situation.
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:

Make sure if you are using other ROM that it's not masking Epic as some other device.
