HandcentSMS is nice for texting, used it previously when I had stock rom on my wildfire. I think it's way nicer than the stock sms app.

Allso, for media or mostly movie-streaming Emit it pretty nice. For music i use Subsonic.

DroidCam is really good when you dont have a webcam/microphone in your pc. quality may not be 1080p, but you save some money using programs like this :p
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] LAD2012:
Here's my favourite must have apps which I don't think have been mentioned:

- Vignette: An awesome camera app with lots of filter effects, auto-timer and a zillion other features that should be standard in camera applications. Brilliant.

- Colour Notes: A very superb Note app which is very customizeable and my personal favourite - you can back up your notes to SD card or online

- Android SkyDrive Explorer: Basically it's an unofficial (I think) app for Windows Sky Drive, very handy app if you happen to use SkyDrive. Similar to Dropbox.

- Shelves: A very useful/handy app which uses a BR/QR scanner to basically add books/DVD's/CD's etc to a Library of sorts so you can keep track of what you've got. Useful.

- KIK Messenger: Just a simple instant messenger, I know a lot of people don't like it or think it somehow magically viruses their phones but it doesn't. Divides a lot of opinion for some reason but I've never had any issues with it. It's pretty good.

- Evernote/Hello Evernote: Sync your notes to/from your computer/phone's works in a similar vain to Dropbox to an extent. They've just released a new side app called "Hello Evernote" which is sort of like a Social Network integration of sorts.

- Remember The Milk: A BRILLIANT app for setting reminders of task's you need to complete. Excellent UI. The only negatives; certain features are for Pro only which I think is silly; unlimited syncing, setting alarms etc other than that this would be perfect

- Pocket: A fantastic little app which allows you to save pages in Browser I think for offline reading (though not entirely sure that's the case) but it's still a very nifty app which makes reading whatever page you've saved somewhat easier.

- SyncMyPix: A nice little photo syncing app for contacts; basically it imports your friends Facebook photo's into your contacts.

- SuperBackup: An EXCELLENT app for backing up your SMS and Contacts.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] ConstantineTheGreat:
I must say that I don't agree for SMS

For me best choice for SMS is ChompSMS. This application is the first (maybe the only one) in which you can see the name of person which is available again, or which was called you while your phone was off. Maybe other application made this in their newer version, but when I was looking for this (I hate when I see only number and I don't know who called me) no other application haven't that.

ChompSMS ;)

Hi guys, can you suggest office app that can open basic Ms office docs for wildfire.. thanks

I think theres a free version of quickoffice.. can anybody share a link? Thanks..
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Justice™:
On sense roms, you get a basic version of quick office.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Lesicnik1:
Because the Wildfire is ARMv6, Flash requires ARMv7.

There were some hacks, but hose didn't work well.

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Justice™:

[Venue Pro General] rishabmittal:
I have update my DVP to 7740 using the offline update tool posted in Windows development and Hacking, But there has been no changes in the software just that the phone now shows 7740.16 instead of 7720.

Has anyone else updated their phones, and if there has been some changes in the software they have noticed, please post here.
[Venue Pro General] Ascario:
You sir are my hero for pointing me to that offline update tool. I was able to not only update my DVP but also add my mother tongue as a language (dutch).

Having said that, other than the different version number, I have not noticed much change from before. My DVP still has difficulties connecting to my wifi AP... Compass is still broken as well (to be expected).
[Venue Pro General] rishabmittal:
Yes the compass is still broken, but i am having no problems connecting to my secure wifi .
[Venue Pro General] yeungl:
7740 only fix voice mail notification and Exchange server connection issue. No tethering, no compass fix.
[Venue Pro General] zorroz:
no tethering... SIGH!
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Tethering is likely never to come to the DVP. It was never promised.
[Venue Pro General] peeps:
And same with the compass per Lionel on Twitter...
[Venue Pro General] WaFer:
@rishabmittal

Could you be more specific which offline update tool did you use (I don't want to brick my DVP cause it's far away from US where it was bought)?

Or perhaps you could share with us the entire update procedure.

My DVP is unbranded (generic) with Mango 7720 and recently Chevron unlocked.

Thanks!
[Venue Pro General] rishabmittal:
you can update your dvp visiting the link given below.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1306415

download all the attached files and download the 7740 attachment and do as given in the forum.
[Venue Pro General] hihi2u2:
The above method doesn't work anymore

I can't find a wp7update tool on internet, its says its unsupported by the developer and no link for the files ... ...

BTW does this work on a bricked dvp ?

I'm trying to flash a firmware onto it, it's basically missing the original SD card so it's saying Storage Card Not Working ... ... or is that simply the case of using a nokia phone to flash the card and hopefully it will update on zune ?

Please help ^^

So now that the 21st is in site, a post to update us all on whether you have received your GN yet.

I am particularly interested in HANDTEC orders, as that is who I have ordered through! Cheers guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
Has the 21st actually Bern confirmed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
http://www.handtec.co.uk/blog/2011/11/samsung-galaxy-nexus-shipping-update/

15/11 Update: Samsung Distribution is still stating week commencing 21st November this has been the case for the past two weeks or so. We understand that dates such as the 17th November MAY be release dates for non sim free stock but we cannot confirm this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
Seems like that just means they will receive stock sometime this week :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
I know bud, but I'm getting a bit impatient now, lol

I ordered almost a month ago now... grr:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I know what you mean. I waited weeks for them to announce any details for a US launch, got sick of the waiting and ordered yesterday. Now it seems like tomorrow isn't going to happen... WTF Samsung, get your **** together :mad:

Will stay with the 23th as clove post, handtec will get at the same time like all uk sim free stores ...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
my money is on the 23rd also
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Here's hoping the sim-free batches will be different and not have the volume-changing plague like pre-release phones didn't have the plague. I am close to canceling my pre-order, but part of me just wants to wait and see and hope for the best.

I still fear that the sim-free ones won't be released next week though. Phones4U ad said they have a two-week exclusive and some sellers, especially Amazon, have the release date exactly two weeks after Phones4U release.

But I guess hope dies last! It's just a phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
fingers crossed mate, i'll give handtec a call tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atomic_dude:
Clove is Samy's ***** just like Handec is HTC's. That's why my money is on 23rd. Handtec states week starting 21st, that could technicaly mean 25th as well :-)

C'mon Clovee... Send it to me NOW!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tom Servo:
Handtec said on their Twitter that they're expecting the shipment for the 23rd.

Meanwhile, I prefer this. If it comes that day, the delivery should arrive earliest on Friday here in Belgium. That's when I'm home earlier, usually long before any delivery truck arrives. And next week, I'm in night shift. Handtec uses DPD for delivery to my country, and they have notoriously weird times.

Initially I had this week Thursday and Friday the days off, initially expecting the Nexus and Saints Row 3 those days. SR3's release date got moved ahead and the Nexus shipping date back. :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPodtosis:
If Handtec delivers on Wed 23rd. When will US receive our orders?

Thursday is Thanksgiving and I know no delivery will be done. I am not sure if Fedex/UPS delivers on Friday Saturaday or Sunday....

So does anybody know what will happen if they deliver on 23rd?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dmw017:
US is 2-4 Business days. Count Thursday out. It should be at our doors around the following Tues-Thursday >,,> Fml

...Of course, that's only for whoever is in the first batch (/prays)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atomic_dude:
Can't wait to hear from SIM free buyers receiving e-mails from ratailers announcing shipping... Who's going to be first, Handtec or Clove? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
pre-release phones used by reviewers probably didn't check 2G connectivity, or weren't on a network that operates on 900Hz. so they wouldn't have encountered the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] winwiz:
Received a tweet from Handtec advising mid week and then this email from Clove. 23rd looks promising:

Dear S,

Thank you for expressing an interest in the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. We are pleased to inform you that stock is due to arrive late today and orders will begin shipping tomorrow. We will receive enough stock to cover all outstanding orders and will have a limited amount of stock available to cover new orders.

If you would like to place an order, we expect, but cannot guarantee, to ship it by the end of November 23rd - pending the completion of security checks and subject to stock availability.

If you already have an order in place with us, please disregard this email.

Kind Regards

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
Guys,

Good morning.

I have a SGS2, I had rooted with ChainFire ROOT kernel (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399).

After the installation of the Kernel, I'd used an USB JIG (http://www.dealextreme.com/p/unbric...msung-t959-i9000-i897-m110s-i8700-i9100-93514) to remove the yellow triangle.

Then, I've installed the CheckROM 3.1.1 and the SiyahKernel 2.1.1...

Conclusion:

* I have ROOT

* I have the CWM if I press Volume Up+Home+Power

* I do not have the CWM app listed in applications.

Is this normal?

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance for your comments.

Regards!

pepemosca
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
CWM is an app not root .It is usually added to a custom rom .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
OK, I get it.

But how I have another SGS2 (yes, I have my wife and mine)... And on mine which is running the same Custom ROM and Kernel... I do have the CWM app.

The only difference between hers and mine, is to remove the yellow triangle I used a USB JIG and on mine I flash a stock Kernel.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seghier:
to remove yellow triangle use cwm to install official kernel have the same number with the rom for example : jpkj ...etc ( zimage in sdcard)

than use cwm to install cf root sg2 ( extract zimage in sdcard)

------------------

i use siyah and speedmod but cwm5 have problem when launch so you can use cwm4 and try new kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
Sorry, but I'm not asking how to root the phone.

I just want to know how can it be that I root the phone with the CF and I don't have the CWM app.

BTW, thank you for your reply... Is very useful, but I had already done that :P

-it's laggy

-doesn't display entire msg even when "all" activated in email download size parameters.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveorg:
First - Kudos to XDA and all of the amazing developers and contributors. I never believed in the concept of "too much of a good thing", but this place has me thinking that it might be possible. :D

I want fast and stable (unlike others looking for slow and unstable :rolleyes:). Due to the frequent releases and unimaginably long threads, I'm having trouble pinpointing the info that I need. Since the forum doesn't allow me to ask opinions, please provide guidance on how to find the data.

It does seem that there are several dependable choices and I can't go wrong by rolling the dice among them. Is that a fair statement? I only want to do this once, because I do not have the time or skills to evaluate and compare the installations.

And then there is ICS. The ROMs seem imminent. Anyone want to speculate on the ETA of a stable release? Would it make sense to wait?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
I will get back to you later when I'm on my computer, reserved. ...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
Depending on your needs, and what you're running now. There are some very good/stable GB releases, I personally like Mosaic 8 the most. Apex 10.1 is also very good. For something a little different, Miui is also very good. I suffer from somewhat poor battery life on Miui in comparison to Mosaic 8.

ICS is looking good, but there are some pretty major issues in the way right now, we really do need a kernel for our devices even though the i9000 works. There is no data(3g), and no Google calendar sync are the main issues for me. Obviously the dev's are working their butts off to get ICS going, and I dont like to speculate on timelines, because you just never know. Someone could crack the code today, or it could be weeks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveorg:
Thanks for mentioning battery life. That's a factor that I hadn't considered. I guess that I should expand my question to ask what are the factors that I should consider? So far I have three:

Stability

Speed

Battery life

---

If more are suggested, I'll add them to this post as they come in.

---

when pairing up a kernel and rom they must be the same android version (eg 2.2 2.3.3 or 2.3.5) build code (kk kj ) isnt important. (thanks TRusselo)

Do not reinstall apps that previously "fixed" issues like battery life, memory issues and GPS inadequacies because they may introduce instability, which sometimes may persist after the app is uninstalled.

Flashing is quick and easy. TiBU restores, settings tweaks and home app set-up is time consuming. Accordingly, kick a few tires to help decide which ROM works best for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
well all the gingerbread roms are "stable". ( froyo too obviously)

many things can affect speed and battery- kernel, your apps, your habbits.

if trying a froyo first before "movin on up" MUST TRY firefly 3.0 with onix kernel. battery life worth drooling over! and many themes available for it.

gingerbread, many great roms.

when it comes to kernels, lately ive been seeing alot of "highly tweaked" kernels (eg red nebula) that well, just seems like over-kill (especially without kernel source) and to a new user is kinda "head spinning" stick with something simple and close to stock to start. samurai is a good place to start, or boogs kernels...

when pairing up a kernel and rom they must be the same android version (eg 2.2 2.3.3 or 2.3.5) build code (kk kj ) isnt important.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveorg:
I assume that apps that run in the background or are processor intensive will be slower and consume more power. Is there any info to determine which ROMs or kernels are better with those kind of apps?

Is the kernel source an issue for someone that is not a developer? How?

I'll add that to the list above. Thanks, and thanks for all of your info.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
Most of those issues will be determined by the apps you run, not so much the kernel you run.

On Mosaic, I have very good performance with Talon, and Semaphore

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steveorg:
While going through the excellent XDA and Android Terms and Acronyms, I came across the definition for No-Wipe Package:

Now that seem like a strong reason to use a package. Does anyone know which ROMs come with a No-Wipe Package?

However, is there any advantage to clean installs through backup/restore? Can a No-Wipe Package be used when going from Froyo to Gingerbread?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
No wipe packages are usually for one ROM, when some stuff has changed but not the firmware version or anything super major.

Most roms are wipe packages, titanium backup pro comes in real handy, menu> batch> restore missing apps. And walk away til its done.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geeksquad2:
I too was wondering about this.

I'm on FireFly 3.0 and was thinking of going to Dlev 4.2.

I don't like flashing roms because it takes to long to get the phone back to my config. I prefer to flash and stick with it for some time.

Should I/we stick with a GB rom or wait for ICS?

Is there anything mind blowing in ICS that will change our world as we know it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chappatti:
Look, too say ICS is "imminent" is just an overstatement..........if you have not done anything to oyour phone, or have little experience, ICS maybe a step too far ahead.

If you want to go straight to Gingerbread, that may more understandable.

In my OPINION, Apex 10.1 (a i9000 ROM) or Pinnacle 1.2 (a SGH-1987 ROM) are great top-of-the-line ROMs, especially because watsa includes his own ODIN packages and they are ready to go. A no-brainer for most folks. The instructions and packages are a big plus.
