Hello!

My thing is I love sense, but I prefer the AOSP battery life and that its so customizable.

But here are the stuff that sense has that keeps me trapped!

1. The contacts and calendars that link to Facebook, I can see the birthdays on calendar and on contacts I get to see their profile picture they have on Facebook.

2. The HTC_ime keyboard, its hard for me to find a good keyboard on AOSP because I can't add Spanish (mexico) language, and there are some I can add it but they don't have dictionaries (no autocorrect and spelling check, etc)

If someone can help me with this, is be grateful with him for life, and ill be always on AOSP :3

Thanks!

Your issues are easily solved with a few third party apps.

You can use FriendCaster to sync your contacts, etc. You can also use the official Facebook app, but FriendCaster also gives you a direct link to their profile inside contacts and it's better than the official app.

There are plenty of alternative keyboards available, as well as the HTC IME for AOSP. I use both Swype and SwiftKey X, and both have options for other languages and are better than the stock keyboard. If you search the Market I'm sure you'll find something that works for you. I have a modified version of the HTC IME somewhere. I'm not sure if it supports different languages like the stock one, but if I can find it I'll post it for you to try out.

Good luck!

Also, for birthdays in calendar, there are apps that will do this if FriendCaster doesn't. I synced mine a while ago before FriendCaster added syncing so I'm not sure if it will. Once your contacts' birthdays are synced to your calendar you can uninstall the app that synced them.

I was just wondering if anyone know if you can name folders after you created them?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SocialReject:
you can name them when you create them and after. Go into the folder and hold the top of the bar.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the community!!

Thanks to the devs that make our phones great. With little to no compensation they choose to make all the ROMS, themes, apps, and all the other goodies we use every day. Sometimes we take them for granted, but most of them do all of this just because they enjoy it.

Also thanks to the folks here at XDA and over at Rootzwiki for giving us a place where people with common interests can come to learn, teach, and discuss everything Android. They put up with all our crap too!!

Also thanks to the noobs. They may aggravate us sometimes, with the posting threads in the dev section, or not using the search tools, but they help the community as well. Without all the new users, Android wouldn't have grown to what it is. Plus we were all noobs at one time. I know for myself, that I feel good when I can help someone, or at least point them in the right direction.

Everyone be safe in your travels going to see friends and family. Don't forget to enjoy the food!!

I can't put into words how thankful I am for the work of our Devs and all you guys and gals helping each other out. It truly is amazing.

Thank you!
[Kindle Fire General] toonakan:
I use Calibre to convert books to mobi. If you want to put them in the clowd then you want to change the extension to .doc or something. Once it is on your Kindle machine change the extension back to mobi.

Here is an article on how to trick the Kindle into letting you read it on their reader.

macworld search macs_kindle_fire_and_managing_files (too young to post links)

Another thing I have heard but not tried is that if you log off your kindle and someone else signs in then you get their books. Not something I would do myself because I demonstrate my dissatisfaction with pricing by not buying but not by violating copyright laws. However, i don't blame anyone else for doing it.

cheers
[Kindle Fire General] Refot_Sirk:
Thank you

Thanks for sharing this. I hadn't heard Calibre before today. Very cool
[Kindle Fire General] kick069:
Or you can just send the.mobi file to username@kindle.com

They then show under docs tab and read just fine
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
Or perhaps plug in the usb cable, go to the drive letter, books folder and drag something over...
[Kindle Fire General] toonakan:
Interesting that the worked for you. When I tried it I was blocked from downloading it to my device. Maybe I will try it again.
[Kindle Fire General] toonakan:
you were right, it worked. The first time i sent it I accidentally sent my epub version of the book instead of mobi. [embarrassed]
[Kindle Fire General] MayfairDROID:
Any ideas how to get them out of the documents and into the books? Id like to have all my books in one place, the Books area, and my files in the documents folder...

A Little More searching and I found this. It works: seperis. dreamwidth. org/ 116360. html
[Kindle Fire General] adambomb6:
Thanks!

I've been using Calibre for a while to convert my books to mobi for use on Kindle's. you are right on that you have to

-go into calibre

-convert/reconvert to .mobi

-click on the MOBI Output

-clear out the "Personal Doc Tag", mine had [PDOC] in it

-put it in the Books folder on the Kindle fire it worked great!

I'm really bummed out that you can't put your books in subfolders under the books directory. Regular kindle has been able to do this for years! This is really messy when you have dozens or hundreds of books.

However, maybe I'm making too much of this because I don't see myself ever using this to read books. I have a regular kindle for that, and I just like the eInk better.
[Kindle Fire General] Raiden619:
Nice, but on some ebooks the formatting is off and some images don't load correctly any idea why?
[Kindle Fire General] lightsout:
I used this site a couple times, worked great.

http://www.convertfiles.com/convert/ebook/EPUB-to-MOBI.html

I just plug the kindle to my pc and put them in the book folder. Subfolders would be pretty nice.
[Kindle Fire General] ksd316:
I can't get books to show up, in documents or otherwise. When I go to the store, I can find them in "home", it says they are on the device, but offline, nothing is there. I have tried Calibre, and still nothing. I have tried unregistering, and re registering, still nothing. :(
[Kindle Fire General] marty331:
I found I have to put my books in the sdcard/kindle folder. And only put the .mobi file in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AlexSochi8:
I remember my old vibrant had that feature in the address book, i was able to add address, etc, etc, and birthdays!!

Now I have my galaxy s 4g on official gingerbread and it doesnt have that feature...

Did google strip this feature with firmware upgrades?

if so they are retarded. Its a very useful feature to have!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thegoo:
SIM only contacts can't. If it is saved as a phone contact you will be able too.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
I use Go Contacts, adds all the info I want, and I backup to SDcard.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Alex, this phone is not a vibrant. I would suggest saving all of your contacts to the google servers and then you can adds whatever you want. Also, if you sync with Facebook, it handles most of that for you
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
I edit my contacts all the time....so is it really the software? Or user error?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AlexSochi8:
ok if you do not believe me then Im a liar?

This is exactly what I see when I go to edit my google contact! :

Name:

Mobile:

Email:

IM:

ringtone

Postal address

organization+

more

when i click more mothing happens!

if you have a clue how to help or some tips please do so... I just dont like how this whole forum is filled up with some loud mouth geeks who are too devoted to talking **** on people instead of helping out
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AlexSochi8:
here I fixed it on my own jerk offs!

This really shows how lame and selfish this website is becoming, you ask for help you get smart comments.

This is a reason why I didnt see the birthday option:

apparently if you have you phone book setting set to: (ask where to store a contact, by default) meaning when you want to create a contact it will ask you where to store him phone, google, sim, etc....... then it wont let you edit birthday.. it will let you view however birthdays you put for some contacts,,, but if you want to create a new contact and you want to add a bday.. then by default you contact setting should be (store contact to google)

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] jackr.:
I have encountered the annoying browser glitch with text box's. And in my search for stable browsers, I have found a few results. Aside from the awesome Opera Mobile, I have found these to work rather nicely:

Ninesky Browser:

I haven't played around with this one too much, I only really checked to make sure it didn't crash. But the layout is nice enough, not too cluttered.

Maxthon Mobile Browser:

This one was the only one so far that allowed me to utilize FimFiction.net's archive search. Opera Mobile and others would either refuse to load or crash the browser. This browser also has an interesting active gesture system, which allows you to temporarily see the result of your finger swipes. However I find this to be more of a pain, as it is hard to always get the browser to move around when it is interpreting every swipe I make. I also couldn't figure out a way to zoom in and out.

Browsers I have found to either crash or not work very well at this time are: Miren, Dolphin, Boat, Bolt, xScope, and Skyfire.

That is the scope of my search so far. If anyone knows of any other stable browsers, I would be happy to learn about them :).
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
I'm using opera mini. Worked fine. Tried several others, with poor results. Dolphin almost made it, but the url bar does not work (can't type your own url, only coming from search or another site)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] tiborq:
hi,

the dolphin HD or dolphin mini browser crashed? I would like use the dolphin mini, it's possible and stable?

thank you
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
Both had problem at the url bar, and both had some minor crashes. Doesn't look that good anyway. Opera mini still rules.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] johnciaccio:
Probably any browser based or that uses the default webkit will not work.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] tiborq:
text only browser

hi,

text only browser work on nook?

ex: market.android.com/details?id=com.spacenext.textonly

like kindle article mode.

thank you
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] sayno2quat:
Opera works great for me.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] saombra:
I finaly found a browser that can use volume keys to scroll and (so far) seems stable. It's called Galapagos browser. Doesnt compare very good to Opera otherwise, but scrolling with keys is a big help on eink screen.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] lumnar:
xScope

I use xScope Pro ($2.99, lite version available). You can use the volume keys to scroll (remapped my side buttons on the NST), change the standard font size to be bigger and change the theme to an all black one. Only problem I've had so far is logging into reddit.com causes it to crash for whatever reason. I think it's permission related, going to poke around on the command line later.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mdall:
yes it works fine
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Soea:
I've tried several browsers but only opera mini made it, it has poor scrolling but after a while you get used to it
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] osowiecki:
"Exsoul Browser" seems to be working fine.

EDIT : It does not =_=. Sorry for useless post.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brendan10211:
Opera mini, and or opera mobile. Also, they can be configured for high contrast browsing. (editing global CSS file)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] aaronwe:
I've been having the best luck with Opera Mini. Pages load very, very fast, and scrolling is remarkably responsive if you turn on NoRefresh Toggle.

I had high hopes for Dolphin Mini, but it doesn't seem very happy on the Touch.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Googie2149:
B&N (intentionally?) broke webkit on the Nook, so yeah, Dolphin won't work.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] osowiecki:
"Maxthon Mobile Browser For Android"

seems to be working more than fine + it plays Flash animation with the plugin installed.

EDIT:

Probably the best replacement for Opera Mobile there is.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] brendan10211:
But can it use a user defined CSS file, for high contrast browsing?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] osowiecki:
Nope.

In Maxthon you can use the "WAP mode" to remove all of the pages formatting thus creating a high contrast site.

You can also turn on a "negative mode" to inverse all of the colors.

This NoRefresh makes me quite happy with the achieved contrast.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] stephen.george.west:
Opera "New" 7.0

I tried the Opera "New". It only crashes, so I'm reluctant to upgrade Opera mini 6.something.

Update "New" to 7.0.1 also crashes on launch.

I would like to know how to set up the user css. Couldn't find any mention of it for the mobile versions, only full version.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] osowiecki:
This thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360624&highlight=css

works for Opera Mobile 12
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renate:
I just wish that Opera would do PAGE_DOWN and PAGE_UP.

There is no excuse why something in its 12th version should do nothing for a key combination.

On my Nook, the native Reader, OI File Manager, K-9 Mail, AndChat and all my apps react properly to PAGE_DOWN/PAGE_UP.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] saombra:
I started using the Opera Mobile Extensions from opera labs, and it works really well. The extension Gesture box can be set up to do page up and page down by screen gesture. I't would be great to able to do it with the side buttons, and it probably would be easy to do an extension for that if you know something about programming, which I´m afraid I don't.

Last Pass and Opera Adblock 0,56 (can be found if you google, no other adblock i tried has worked) also works really well.

Afraid i can't post links yet, so you will have to google it all.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] remlap:
Can you explain how you use GestureBox for page up and down?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Golab:
Miren browser (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1549511) is the one I found the best on NST; better than both Operas, Maxthon & all the others.

Fast, open mobile & desktop versions of pages, several useragents to choose (iPad works well), SCROLLS with volume buttons (this one I think is crucial, only Maxthon does this AFAIK), nice full-screen mode, auto-zooms to fill forms.

Theres an option called "page jump" where you can set the percentage of the screen that it wll jump on gesture. You can set it to minus if you want to scroll up.
[HTC Sensation] frostyroot:
Ok guys I really need your help for this one, I'm a big fan of sense, just because of the camera and when it snows it shows the little snowflakes on the screen :3 along with the useful features it provides. The thing that kills me a little on the inside is the equalizer built in all the sense ROM's. They all suck, therefore I am in love with MIUI right now because of their built in equalizer and all the eye candy it provides. The background to this was that I bought a pair of over the ear headphones from best buy for like 20 dollars and they looked awesome but were silent, I used an equalizer to enhance the sound and suddenly fell in love with the very pair of headphones that I am currently using (highly recommend you buying it if you toy with equalizers). I've tried everything in the market and nothing has satisfied my audiophilific ears. I.E.: PowerAmp, other Android equalizers, etc. Mainly with the way they work. I was wondering if you could participate in what equalizers you use (if you do).
[HTC Sensation] nrvnqsrxk:
I liked the DSP Equalizer that came with CM7. I'm surprised you didn't like the equalizer that comes with PowerAMP. That one is pretty robust with a lot of presets. Have you tried moving the preamp knob? It's the leftmost one.

Other than that, I would recommend you check out the headphones thread somewhere in the accessories section, to see what you should get next after you feel like you need to "step up" in your headphones game.
[HTC Sensation] frostyroot:
I don't like PowerAmp just because it annoys me, when you plug in your headphones it plays music by itself and other stuff that I forget. As for headphones, I bought a pair of SR80i's and I love them but I never bring it to the gym or anywhere else because I don't want to break them. As for DSP. I love it too and is the reason why I like CM7/AOSP.
[HTC Sensation] 22VIN:
Stuff like that can be turned off from the Settings menu, you know.
[HTC Sensation] Rickdaddy:
I can't say that I'm a big fan of sense (which is why I went with cm7), but how much of a difference will the equalizer make?
[HTC Sensation] frostyroot:
You could potentially amplify the sound of your headphones by x2.35% which in my case is equal to more slightly expensive headphones.
[HTC Sensation] nonione:
Ok most of you guys know but some don't so im gonna tell you, if you break your digitizer and replace it and you dont get the right one your device will have a nasty lag everytime you press the power button to wake it up!

ANOTHER UPDATE: Flash PG58DIAG.nbh it will calibrate your digitizer and itll work again! EVEN if s/n isnt the same as the old one!

Credits go to DRACULAVK and MELLOW3

(S-OFF and Super CID are required!)

OLD (Worked for some): APPARENTLY IF YOU UPDATE TO SOFTWARE VERSION (BUILD NUMBER) 1.50.401.1. KERNEL VERSION 2.6.35.13-g1e13373 (Sep 5 2011) YOUR DIGITIZER *SHOULD* WORK

im saying should cause we need further testing on this

the point of this thread is work as a guide for you on to which digitizer you should buy in order for your sensation to work well after the replacement

first off to know which digitizer youve got, im sorry, but youll have to disassemble your device and check these numbers:

and make sure you ask or check with whoever you are buying the digitizer that it HAS THE SAME EXACT LETTERS AND NUMBERS!

ok so here are the versions of the digitizers (it doesnt matter if your sensation is from t-mobile, bell, telus, z710a or z710e you can have either one)

first off is this one:

PYD V1.0

E21945 1

ICACichia

94V-0 1115

which is probably the most common

you can find it on ebay by this sellers:

no.1-tech in china (http://myworld.ebay.com/no.1-tech/?_trksid=p4340.l2559)

and they supply to ask-tronics, in the US (http://myworld.ebay.com/ask_tronics/?_trksid=p4340.l2559)

we also have:

PYD V1.0

E219454<>1

ruICACichia

94V-0 1112

very similar to the first one but it wont work if its not the exact same one remember that!

you can find it on ebay by seller yallstock, in singapore (http://myworld.ebay.com/yallstock/&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2754)

theres also:

pyd v1.0

sw-10 94v-0

ew08252 1111

dont have any sellers yet if you find one please report it on this thread

and theres also:

PYD V1.0

SW-10 94V-0

E308252.1117

dont have any sellers for this one also report if you find any

remember you can find these digitizers either with the htc logo at the top-center or it can also be t-mobile branded, and it can either one of the above so it doesnt really matter which one you buy as long as it matches the version!

ALSO BEFORE BUYING BE SURE TO ASK THE SELLER IF HE HAS WHATEVER VERSION YOU NEED EVEN IF ITS LISTED ON THIS THREAD

most info on this has been taken from this thread:

[HTC Sensation] yozpalang:
How did you made it stick?
[HTC Sensation] nonione:
at this point all you can do is try another version and maybe sell the one you just replaced it with

unless theres a way to know which digitizer u need by checking software or something but i dont think theres any of that at the moment

whats the version you received from that seller on ebay anyways?

you can check out some videos on youtube on how to replace the digitizer, although most only show how to disassemble but not how to reassemble
[HTC Sensation] bestmodel03:
i have backup of my original Rom so i hope it will be possible to check S/N.i just sent a message to ebay seller and asked for S/N version,i don't want to disassembly my device again.

New digitizer number!

Hey, here is a new digitizer number from my phone. It is broken, of course. I pulled it apart as advised just to get the version number.

PYD V1.0

E219454 <-> 1

ruICAC ichia

94V-01118

I haven't been able to find this number yet in the new replacement digitizers. Also, exactly where do you pick up the proper thickness adhesive? I understand it is 3M 2mm thick? Is that correct?
[HTC Sensation] rouin:
Nevermind about the adhesive. Found tons of the stuff with a quick search on Ebay. Now to find this version number of digitizer....
[HTC Sensation] nonione:
well you can do what i did

send a message asking for that version to everyone that sells digitizers on ebay lol

then can you post back the results so i can add them to the thread?

Not available in Canada (yet).

So far no digitizer with the same number and no software update available. I may have to get the closest thing and hope for the best. My last digit is a "8" and the closest I can get is a "5"

I have several requests in. If I find this version number:
