[HTC Sensation] xperiaforme:
I logged into my google account on the web I use for my phone and I was shocked to see the information Google collected about my use of the device. It collected phone numbers from my contacts, even the pictures I asigned to them, calendar appointments...I can understand there are Market applications I downloaded, but come on, contacts and appointments? Is this phone not mine?:eek: Which applications do this and how can I prevent it from happening? I thought I don't have sync on....
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What ROM are you using?

On mike1986 's latest,he has removed the HTC LOGGERS and various other Spyware apps which HTC have installed.

Worth checking out.

See my sig

Also ROM CLEANER

This will remove the spyware from any ROM when you install it.

:)
[HTC Sensation] xperiaforme:
I did not put any other rom on the phone because I don't know how. I'm afraid that rom cleaner may be a little bit out of my abilities. I don't quite understand what is going on with this whole data collection even...
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
That's the Google backup, it syncs everything to you account
[HTC Sensation] xperiaforme:
I see! I found it in apps. Google Backup Transport. There is also Google Clanedar Sync and Google Contacts sync. Darn! I guess it's not safe to remove these applications with root uninstaller?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Just untick the sync options in Settings if you're that bothered. I actually like having it so all my contacts can be moved between Android devices that I sync to my account
[HTC Sensation] xperiaforme:
But I do have them unticked and it STILL happens.
[HTC Sensation] agentaaron:
Anything that was already sync'd before you unchecked the box will remain there...you can safely delete them from your online Google account. Have you never read or heard that this is one of the advantages/core features of android?

But don't call tech support or cry when you have to either replace or master reset your phone and lose all your stuff.

I have a whole closet full of android devices and I love the fact that I can grab my 2-1/2 year old G1 and log into it and instantly be reminded of my appointment that afternoon without having to worry about anything.
[HTC Sensation] xperiaforme:
I had sync OFF since I bought the device about a month ago, and it STILL happens, I know this becuase it also synced my NEWEST contatcs (two that I added just this week) and appoinments, so this is not me being that dumb lol. I have all my contacts on my sim card, that is where I want them and I don't need google to collect them for me.
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
Try altering the settings from your google account online. Like go into google calendar from a computer, and don't let it sync to anything. Likewise with contacts.

[HTC Sensation] suicidal.banana:
Not to be rude, but it strikes me how many people are like this, just because some random fool found out how to read out location data from a iPhail they fear every possible logging feature, unless your a cd printing piratebay connected child molester, nobody will look at your logs, calm down.

And its google, you can just configure you dont want it, either in initial setup (first boot) or in the settings as mentioned above.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Thing is, though, as soon as you sign into your Gmail account when setting up the phone it's automatically syncs the contacts. You could turn off sync, delete them from the phone and online and then it shouldn't sync up again but if that doesn't work I don't think you can get around it. How you can still have numbers on a SIM is beyond me - I prefer all contact details under 1 entry personally ;)
[HTC Sensation] RussianBear:
lol so using google for sensitive-info emails is ok, but some contacts and calender items are taboo? :)
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e800-hd2:
A simple general question. I have the 5.0.2.0 clockworkmod recovery version (latest), installed through ROM manager, on my legend. My device is well rooted, but S-On.

Now, if I want to boot into clockworkmod recovery and choose such an option in ROM manager, it boots and works without any problems. BUT: If my device is switched off (no power) and I am loading recovery through fastboot, only the android stock recovery will be booted, not clockworkmod. I must ordinary access it through "recovery-windows.bat" and so on. The same thing with a working Legend (through "restart - boot into recovery").

Is such a function normal or should I change something additionally to get clockworkmod as default recovery?

Thanks.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scx110a:
You cannot makeit except you are S-OFF and use fastboot.exe application(on computer) to flash the recovery into your phone......In fact, rom manager did not really flash the recovery into your phone, so you can not boot the CWM though the fast boot.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matroihanoi:
My Legend still S-On,

Unlocked bootloader by HTCdev,

Rooted,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirollaz88:
Ok so I really like synergy but one thing I do not like about it is there is no 5 touch for the rom.. I know my phone is capable of 5 point touch. Because I am using omfgb nightly right now and have 5 point... I've tried flashing netarchys mod over synergy and it kills the camera and video along with aggressive freedom does the same... I really like synergy its like my favorite but I am a gamer and news the 5 touch does anyone know of a synergy kernal that will give me 5 touch without messing anything else up on he rom and help would be appreciated thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
I don't have 5 touch on my phone because of hw but I would give mikg 2.56 with chopsuey 9.1 kernel a try. Should give you what you need as far as I know. Or just flash chopsuey with synergy and see if that works. I'm 70% sure I read somewhere that chopsuey supports 5 point so good luck :)

[Motorola Photon 4G] kbboykin:
Don't get me wrong, I do like the Motoblur on my photon, but wanted to find a simple plain gingerbread launcher with the same number of homescreens and good amount of widgets. I tried Go Launcher EX, it's okay but any other suggestions?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Most obvious answer would be to try launcher pro. Txlauncher is good too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jess813:
+1 on Lancher Pro especially the 3D app drawer in advance settings.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seroaddict:
I'm a convert from LauncherPro to Go Launcher EX. The Go team is really quite active, and I like both the features and performance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
ADW can be modify in to a gingerbread launcher and the 3d drawer is great because it stays at your last locate when you search though all the apps on the phone.

Let me know of you need a screen shot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uncensored:
I vote for Zeam. I have tried a couple of others including go & find Zeam simple small & customizable. Developer is responsive too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jess813:
I did this and stayed with GLEX simply due to the more themes selection.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
Only if LP had all the options GLEX has I think LP would be better..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
I've been using simple home lately. Basic wp7 android hybrid under 300kb. Very basic, not many features or frills. Just kinda does what it does. Check it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daniel129001:
Go Launcher EX or view in market gingerbread launcher, original launcher faster and simple
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeriel05:
I would have to recommend launcher pro, I tried GLEX for a few weeks but its very laggy for some reason.... I even factory reset my phone to make sure it wasn't another app conflicting and same results... it was very noticeable when going from another app to the home screen. Other than that GLEX has tons of potential, better themes and more customizable but I believe launcher pro is more reliable.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bibbin:
For sheer simplicity, maybe try Netfront Life Screen.
[Motorola Photon 4G] iLLa:
i use launcher pro. highly customizable.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MisterTedster:
I personally love Zeam launcher. I find the scrollable bottom dock essential.

I went from go launcher to adw launcher, now on Zeam.

Zeam is my favorite by far. It is the most light-weight, and has all the features I want and none of the ones I don't care about.

Are there any guides out there at all about WP7 hacking? Specifically I want to learn about the directory structure of the OS, how provxml files work, etc.

[Droid X General] MrMorganUSC:
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am at .596 and running Liberty GB v.09

Just want to get back to stock and decide from there if I want to root or just stay stock

I understand I will probably have to SBF but do I go to .602 or .605 (SBF available?)

Do I need to go to something before .602 and update OTA?

Thanks
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
SBF to .596 or .602, then update to .605.

I recommend SBFing to .596 just to be safe, although SBFing to .602 shouldn't give you any problems.
[Droid X General] rocko73:
I would SBF to 2.3.340 Froyo then take the large OTA then factory reset. This has worked well for me.
[Droid X General] drkcobra:
There is now a 605 sbf file that was released by Motorola on 10-5-2011.

Here is the exact file name for those who may know someone with RSD access:

1FF-p3a_shadow_cdma_shadow-user-2.3.3-4.5.1_57_DX5-35-110820-test-keyssigned-Verizon-US.sbf.gz
[Droid X General] rocko73:
Come on, some Verizon employee, grab this file please!
[Droid X General] terminal13:
Just go sbf to 602 and take the 605 ota. use the latest one click to root if you want. The one click root also works on stock 605....I'm running it now and a 605 based rom called icx.

Giggity.

You can also if you have Linux running on your computer, use "Ark" to open the file without unzipping it and then remove the apps you don't want and then add your own apk's.

I do this on every nightly I upgrade,my method is effective. Download rom.zip to PC. Extract files and go into system, apps. Delete the apks you don't want and copy the ones you do into the folder. Then I rezip the extracted files back into the exact same name making sure not to include original zip folder and put on sdcard and flash as normal. Regards Slymobi.

Question on webtop vs Linux cm7.

Please excuse my post as I'm 1000 miles from home on a family emergency.

Im currently on cm7 b4. I've done some quick looking. And am a little confused and a lot over tired. I know cm7 does not have the webtop. But I see references to running Ubuntu. Side by side. I need to m needing to Von to my Cisco router and the rdp to my desktop.

Is the side by side version the best option of for this am I better off going back to a stock blur Tom and using the webtop? Ideally I'd push this onto a larger screen. But kbd and mouse are. Not as important.

Thank you

I'm thinking it'll get Gingerbread with all these leaks. ICS may come sometime next year. As for Gingerbread I'm thinking this month.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Xev_10177:
I really hope so. Maybe with the official Gingerbread, the dev community will pick up again. :)

If AT&T weren't taking so long to release official GB and the Rogers release weren't so crappy, probably more devs would have stayed around.

But it's frustrating as hell to be banging your head against the wall for an oddball device.

I definitely see where you're coming from Entropy. Are you sticking with the Infuse or moving up to the SGSII?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SSJ_Gomike:
Yes....

Similiar to the different iOS betas that are released before the official version....you normally will see 3-6 builds of a samsung version before the final is released....I know UCKI4 was the last Infuse GB build though I heard there is a UCKI5 floating around though I have not seen it myself....

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Phatphool:
By looking at the history of things, updates, we will get official GB pushed first then ICS later, but GB was not open source where as ICS is... But then again all has been pushed off due to things happening with the loss of Steve Jobs and everyone using that as a excuse to back track...

No Punn Intended!!!! Please do not take this comment negatively, just laying it out there as it comes, and from what we are seeing and reading about.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Once leaks stop coming, we know that Samsung has got a good build, and is giving it to AT&T to start pushing out as an OTA, only then will we know when it'll be released.

Sometimes when I press the power button to bring up the lock screen, the entire screen has this extremely bright neon pink tint. Everything is still visible (text, icons, etc), but the color is messed up. Sometimes it's bright blue, and sometimes it's green. It goes back to normal colors when I lock the screen and bring it up again. It happened quite a few times now but not frequent. Does anyone know why this happens?

Looks like u r on stock. If u bought it from an AT&T store, and within 30 days, get it exchanged for a new one. If over 30 days, return it to AT&T warranty store and they'll give u a refurb one. Atleast will save u the botheration of going through all these efforts.
