[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theone10:
I posted a link to a flashable one. It is the one I use for myself

http://db.tt/rTR39Ux4

I have no problem with messages.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Made the switch to miuiandroid today versus miui.us. miui.us seems to be having a bit of trouble, so we'll see how quick miuiandroid turns their ROM's around. Sorry for the delay!

Also, 2MB mms app? jeeezzzz!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
I was having some issues sending some Mms'. The problem was, they were TOO big. haha. My phone was trying to send 1.4mb pictures, and T-Mo just wasn't having it. All future modified apk's will have a 1MB limit, I just sent the same picture to two friends, and they were just shy of 900kb, sorry if any of you had any issues, weird that it's just now coming up.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
And with today's release, MIUI has been dubbed "relatively stable". Hopefully we'll have ICS soon!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Any demand for a modied MIUI v4 Mms.apk? The couple days I used it, pictures seems to be even bigger with the same settings!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Thanks a lot for the quick updates silverton!!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Haha, gotta please my 10-20 or so regulars ;) Only takes me about a minute or two to modify the necessary file. So I update the thread just as I'm flashing my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] strawmetal:
Sure every user of my rom is using your fix...:D

btw.. i see that the apk size hasn't changed in the last few updates... is it okay that i've included 2.3.9 build of your mod in my rom... is it going to affect the functioning?(pardon me i know nothing of the mms workings (never use mms))
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
Nah, I've just gotten consistent in using MiuiAndroid's build instead of flipflopping depending on who (miui.us or miuiandroid) got their builds up first.

I'm sure as long as you compile the rom with this mms included, it should be fine. I've tried just copying the modified Mms.apk into a rom.zip and of course the md5 changes so it won't flash.

But yes, it's okay!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rapidfire224:
So if i just edit the mms config xml, replace it and sign the apk it should work right?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] silverton:
I extracted the apk, edited the mms config file, recompiled the apk, browsed through the new files that are in the recompiled apk, opened the original apk with a file manager, browsed to the folder that the mms config xml resides in, and dragged the new config xml in to the original apk. If that makes any sense at all! I never signed the apk though. I haven't had to do this in awhile, so I'm a little rusty at the process I had to go through.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] airnique23:
This is the only MMS size fix that I've found that works on my G2x running MIUI. Thanks a bunch!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Loghonox:
Can you change to not converter to mms ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTCrefugee:
Since the 4.0.2.A.0.42 (2.3.4) update, folders on home screens are now shown as a box with small icons of the first four shortcuts rather than the user-selectable fixed folder icons of the previous firmware.

Personally, I think the "small icons in a box" icons are really ugly. But there's a practical problem too - when changing to home pages with several folders on them, the launcher sometimes freezes while it reads the icons of all the shortcuts contained in these.

Is there any way (a mod is required, I presume) to restore the old 2.3.3 behaviour and just choose folder icons for folders instead of displaying their contents? Any help gratefully received!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
Instal some other launch

Or

Instal v6 superchargher for fixing problem about freezeing.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTCrefugee:
It looks like SiMi Folder is an option, but I still need to know where the original SE icons for the folders are - I extracted home.apk but they weren't there, so they may have been removed in this firmware. Can anyone help? Maybe extract them and upload the icons somewhere?

I still have the problem of not being able to use these folders in the dock of course as they're not widgets, so if there's another solution I'd be interested. I like the SE launcher otherwise, and don't want to get rid of it.

-edit-

Never mind, I found them in an old version of home.apk I found here. If there's another solution I'm still interested though.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh84:
I recently uninstalled "ViBe" from my Aria, which hijacks the vibrate function to allow for unique vibrations for specific contacts, and now my phone will not vibrate when receiving incoming SMS messages. I have reset the SMS app to always vibrate, set the phone to always vibrate under settings>sound, and have even rebooted my phone, but still have had no luck. Am I missing something?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Do you have haptic feedback enabled?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh84:
Yes haptic feedback is enables, but only incoming SMS is effected, all other vibrate functions work perfectly fine. I also downloaded an SMS app from the market and was still having the same issue, so I reinstalled ViBe and it began working again, but only through the program. I'm going to try a data wipe later, I'm thinking ViBe effected part of the ROM somehow.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Well, a full wipe and a flash (of a new rom) should fix your problem.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Before you do a full data wipe, you should try clearing only the data for the Messaging app under Settings > Applications > Manage applications > "All" > scroll down to "Messaging" > select "Force stop" and "Clear data", then reboot the phone. Then reconfigure your settings in the messaging app. Keep in mind though that this will also clear all your text message history, so you may want to back it up first if that's important to you.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh84:
Good info, but it didn't work. Had to do a factory reset.

thanks for the help guys.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pabenjam23:
Quick work around...no need for factory reset

Hi,

I am one of the developers of ViBe and although know it is not pretty, we found a short term work around until we push out our update to the app market.

Workaround: Download handcent- market.android.com/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms open it and then close it. It should solve the problem. You can delete that app after opening it if you choose to do so.

We are not affiliated with handcent, but know that they are turning on the sms vibration setting in the phone; hence, a fix for the problem.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to reach out to us: support@base2apps.com

Regards,

Paul
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pabenjam23:
ViBe - Market update

We updated the market with a new version of the app that addresses the system issue you noticed. A user can just turn vibe 'off' to restore the system settings. Just make sure not to uninstall with ViBe turned on. If you do, download the app again, turn vibe off and uninstall (We really want to keep our users, but want to respect them and their phone settings).

[Motorola Droid RAZR] quadjacks:
Is there a way to keep default launcher widgets accessible after installing, for example, ADW.Launcher :confused: Thanks in advance!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] infamousjax:
Unfortunately, if it's anything like Sense, then the stock Motorola widgets are only accessible when using the stock Motorola launcher. Basically, they are integrated into the Launcher and it's not possible to run them on a third-party solution.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quadjacks:
Dangit, thanks for the info!:D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
I had no problems adding the moto widgets on ADW.

Same was in LPP on my Milestone 2
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quadjacks:
uh when I load up ADW and long press the homescreen I only have ADW widget. For example, I want to use the Favorites Contacts , the one that when you swipe down on it, it reveals a 20 block screen of your contacts. Can you check for that widget please to see if you can add it as im not from ADW.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] karanks:
is it possible to add sony ericsson default music player widget with adw launcher by using rom manager or by using the root method..i tried installing the music player widget but wont show up when i tried to add the widget in adw launcher..is there any solution at all ?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] SallyC:
Favorite Contacts is only available with the stock launcher, I believe. :(
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
Almost all of the stock widgets do work with third party launchers. Interestingly, they look like they did in earlier versions of Blur, without the 'chrome' of the Gingerbread BlurHome (the dark blue with gaudy glow animation).

The exception is the favourite contacts widget, which 'works' in the sense that you can place the widget on a screen, but it's invisible.

Genuine question here - aside from the scrolling email widgets and the favourite contacts widget (which is bloated) the Blur widgets are the worst I have ever used on any variety of Android. Half of them don't even launch anything when tapped. Sense, Touchwiz, Timescape/Mediascape, every OEM skin with its own widget set has been more functional than this, even if it's not my cup of tea.

What gives with MotoBlur, and what do people see in it? I swear Moto know it's awful, why else would they automatically set the first third party launcher you install as default?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
I do not know where yo ugot that information, but it is UNTRUE.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] quadjacks:
I use Go launcher and when I place the favorites widget on the homescreen nothing appears. After which I can then click/hold that same blank space and the options appear to modify or delete it. I've not seen anyway to place any stock widgets while using another launcher.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] onslaught86:
And what other launchers does it work in, pray tell?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
It is available. The fact that those launchers are unable to handle it is another thing. Same way the stock launher does not work with 52.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
so i finally decide to grow a pair and root.... how ever when i try to install device drivers it says program unexpectily quit and closes however when i open odin i get a yellow box on teh top that says com something.. i am asuming that is what i need to see in order to see the flash works properly.. second just want to flash a stock rooted rom do a backup and then flash gummy charged newest version with kernal how do i go about doing this want to make sure my i are dotted t's are crossed etc...
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
sounds like it's connecting fine.. and you described it right, flash the stock rom in Odin first and boot up to make sure it works or do some minor set-up, then flash the latest 8/17 CWM in Odin and immediately boot into it after, make the backup then flash whatever rom/kernel you want (Gummy 2.0 has one included and will enable voodoo lagfix on first boot)

not that hard once you do it once or twice and kinda learn how it all works and whatnot
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
do you. mind shooting me a download. link. of stock rom and cwm what about kernals do I need to. flash a kernal or is. that included in stock. rom as well as gummy charged
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
what about wiping sd card want to do a clean wipe that is a safe thing as long I format as fat 32 correct?

Gummy 2.0/2.1

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/5643-romep1wcwmgummycharged-gbe-21-10242011/

GB Voodoo Lagfix Kernel (I'd recommend version 3.0.0+)

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/3426-kernel-gb-imoseyon-kernel-stock-repacked-v400-11611/

and no the stock rom does not include a custom voodoo kernel but the Gummy 2.0 package does so it will install the kernel and rom and enable voodoo lagfix on first boot (the Gummy rom package includes version 2.2.5 of that kernel I linked so it's a bit old, you can update it if you want by flashing the new one in CWM afterwards)

you don't really need to format the sd card as everything android related (not phone #'s or pictures or anything *you* put on there) will be wiped when you do the wipes in CWM
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
thanks man so. I am assuming I put. the. stock in the past. section wait. for. reboot. put. kernal in pda. reboot the put the cwm version in there
[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
and it doesn't matter what baseband I am on currently I just do what is listed above and thought about removing simple just to be safe
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
no no no stock rom in PDA first, boot up after the flash, power down and connect to Odin again and put CWM in PDA (everything goes in PDA) and flash then unplug phone after it passes and immediately boot into CWM no regular boot up.. then wipe data, dalvik (under advanced) and cache then flash Gummy or rom of your choice (custom rom build must match stock build like stock EP1W with EP1W Gummy 2.0), select reboot phone option and let the kernel activate voodoo lagfix when it boots up (may take a while)... once it starts you'll have a rooted voodoo custom rom, then you can hold the power button down until the reboot options menu comes up and select recovery to proceed to flash the updated kernel if you want

also the modems will be the ones installed with the stock rom, but you can flash new ones in Odin in the PDA section if you want

[Verizon Droid Charge] Bfitz26:
last time i flashed a rom for some reason the stock. recovery overwrote. cwm anything that you know. of that i can do. to avoid this in future?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
probably because the rom didn't include a custom kernel or for whatever reason it didn't make it work.. flash or reflash a custom kernel and there won't be any more problems

after you do what the ace hack is it easy to change roms when/if you get bored of them ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzasky:
,

Yes it's very easy. You will soon become a flashoholic. download a rom onto your sd card then all you do is take out your battery, put the battery back in, hold down lower volume and then hold the power on button. This will take you into hboot mode, scroll down to recovery, it will then flash pd98img image for a second, go into rocovery mode and then select install zip from sd card then select choose zip from sdcard and it will then flash your rom. Once it has finished you can then reboot. After you have installed your rom make sure you download rom manager from the market and do a back up of your system. that is basically how you flash a rom, its a good idea to download a superwipe to your sd card so when you flash a different rom you wipe it clean. Hope this helps.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackcoyle:
thanks alot yeah that helps alot see this superwipe does it take the numbers off my mobile it would take ages to put them back in now what a mean ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzasky:
No it doesn't as long as you have saved them to your sim card. If you flash a HTC sense rom and you install a different HTC sense rom, say by someone else, because you have already backed up the previous rom, after you download the next and when you are in recovery mode if you go to back up & restore, advanced, select the date and then select restore data, it will restore all your data, logins, passwords, apps on your home screens e.g so that you do not need to log in again. Its brilliant. hope it all goes well.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimlocc:
So, I logged onto my Vodafone account and checked my usage and it seems that at regular intervals throughout the last few days I've been downloading stuff, always at around roughly 3000.00 KB (more like 2800/2900). These amounts have been downloaded literally 65 times between Wednesday morning and this afternoon (Saturday).

Now, it's a new phone and I'm all giddy about it with new phone syndrome so I have been downloading stuff and it looks like I've downloaded about 195 MB, plus a bit more here and there. So I'll round it up to 250 mb. I only have a 500mb monthly allowance.

So, can anyone tell me, why these amounts show like this? I have downloaded some games and stuff - do the amounts of MB they are worth get reported in small packets like this? Also, does just going on the Marketplace use up a lot of MB? In fact, can anyone tell me what things to look out for in terms of default settings that I can turn off to help make sure I don't go over my 500 mb limit?

I'm especially worried because of all the crappy bloatware that I can't seem to remove no matter how many times i dump something into the bin. Do any of these programs auto connect to the internet secretly?

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintvilla:
Am assuming this is your first smart phone.

Yes lots of programmes use the internet in the background, google does it to sync your account, facebook/twitter does it for updates, Email apps do it to check to see if you have email/ the weather app does it every so many hours to update the weather etc etc.

And yes going onto the market does use some data as your downloading the latest information (like what new apps are their etc) every time you go on.

My advice is use wifi every time chance you get, if your checking you allowance often you should be ok as after the whole new phone things die down, you should be ok, though if your ever running low on your allowance, turning auto sync and background data off stops programmes connecting to the internet in the background, your weather wont update unless you do it manually but nothing will eat your data unless you tell it too.

and the thing using your internet 65 times, will be google syncing your account, everytime you get a gmail/ or add a new contact etc it syncs so its all backed up into the google cloud (which btw when you get your next smartphone makes life dead easy, type your email and password and presto, you get all your contacts/email/ apps all downloaded onto your new device along with passwords of past wifi networks and assuming your next device is one running android 4.0 or newer, you'l get all your bookmarks too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulbp14:
I would recommend droidstats from the market. It will monitor your 3g usage and the pro version will tell you which Apps have been using it. I'm paranoid about getting unwelcome 3g bills so find it invaluable.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimlocc:
Thanks for the advice, it's very helpful!

It's not actually my first smart phone - I had the HTC Touch pro 2 which was a win mo 6.5 based phone but it was very different to android - there was none of this auto syncing. All it did was check my email account every 2 hours and push it to my phone. Android seems to do way more things on it's own. I'm going to switch off all that syncing now and just check my emails myself - bit annoying but otherwise I'll hit my monthly limit way too early.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onbacardi:
I also recommend "3g watch dog" free from the market. You can set a limit on there and that way you can always check your data from your notification bar with 1 click.
