[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
Does anyone know why i don't have an email app icon? Only a gmail one? I've added my ntl email account ok in the settings but I have no way to view / send email from that account? Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
You don't have an icon that's the white folder with a yellow thing sticking out? Can you set a widget for the email application (essentially getting at if the app is somehow uninstalled)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
I can find the email app (White folder with yellow as you say) if I search the phone, and it works fine. But I have no icon for it anywhere so I cannot access it without searching the phone. Very weird.

Edit: Being a muppet here and hadn't found the app page! I am coming from an iphone so go easy on me, lol. Although now I have another problem it seems. When I use the sync button, any emails in my in box disappear.

Why my arc can't receive file from other device, but it can send file to other device. I already pair with that device.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
you could try getting a app from the market called bluethooth file transfer this helps with sending and receiving files contacts etc.

link https://market.android.com/details?...251bGwsMSwxLDEsIml0Lm1lZGlldmFsLmJsdWVmdHAiXQ..

make sure you check the make phone discoverable in bluethooth options on the phone.

hope this all helps

Hi Guys,

I am looking for an app which allows me to control music player on another phone. Like, the app can be installed on both the devices and by using bluetooth i can play,pause,skip to next songs on the other phone from my phone..Is there any apps available?
[Defy Themes and Apps] daniel_loft:
You could try looking into DLNA/UPnP, but as far as I know, phones can't be seen as renderers (the device playing the music by itself), only as servers or controllers.

PS: I've been trying to achieve something similar with an E52, but with no luck.
[Defy Themes and Apps] yangkang5303:
you can search some apps on ubuntu OS,I remember that there is an open source app can do that on a PC,not a phone,may be you can re-plant it.
[GT540 Optimus Themes and Apps] zigma80:
For those who install custom Rom to LG GT540 and miss the speed dial features, you may want to try this app.

SPEED DIAL v1 by DOAN LY

It adds speed dial capability to stock dialer regardless it's CM7 or AOSP.

You don't have to install new dialer from the market. Really functional.

It is small in size (80.54 kb) and support to 20 numbers.

Here is the market link :

[HTC ChaCha] xennon:
I have lots of trouble trying to set my cha cha to save apps on sd card. Do you know how am i supposed to do that?
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
I don't think you can set your ChaCha to automatically save Apps on the SD Card. You have to move each of them manually after it's already installed.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
You can get apps that do it- are you rooted? What rom?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
If you are rooted, use Link2SD. Set it to automatically and the application will know which apps can be (and are safe to be) moved to SD card.
[Acer Iconia A500] hishambachir:
Hi

Any idea where to get clearfi apk?

Tx
[Acer Iconia A500] kjy2010:
Go to the Dev section of the forum, d/l one of the many stock based ROMs, and extract it from system/app. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] hishambachir:
i did what you said

But now the app dont want to install

Any idea
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
I'm afraid it will not install if you`re running a custom rom, since it`s an Acer`s stock rom system app... :(
[Acer Iconia A500] hishambachir:
so no other way?

Only chposing a rom that already have clearfi?

If yes; tx for ur help
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
I am not sure, I can be wrong, but I suppose so...

Not sure if it could be solved editing the build.prop file...
[Acer Iconia A500] lbhocky19:
I'm on Thor and it shows up in the market..
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Most problems on custom rom is that if they delete the clearfi app they also delete the permission.

System/etc/permission, there should be a clearfi. XML file.

If that file is missing clearfi won't work, solution is restoring that file and then putting the clearfi app in system/app and reboot.
[Kindle Fire General] akula11:
I hope someone can help me. I've rooted, added Gapps without a problem. I just can't get my Google Contacts to show up.

Is there anyway you do this. I have tried a few Contact.apks to no avail. I've set permissions.

What do you all think?

Thank you,

John
[Kindle Fire General] sl0ttedpig:
You don't seem to be able to use the Google Contacts app, it doesn't work because it has phone hooks that aren't available on the KF (unless there is a tablet specific version which I haven't seen). You'll need to use the built in Contacts app, which will sync fine with Google if you have the sync adapter.

Here is the version I ripped off my phone - GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk, drop this in /system/app, and set the permissions to rw-r--r--
[Kindle Fire General] akula11:
You are my hero. . . for today. Unless CM7 comes out today. :D
[Kindle Fire General] MinionOfEckerd:
If you have an Android phone, there are a lot of files you can test out in your KF. I moved a couple files from my Droid 3 to the KF to increase functionality. Including the CalendarSyncService. :D

Slightly off topic but does anybody know what files handle the "Add shortcut" option in the CarDock? I tried a couple of the Application... files but none worked. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] sl0ttedpig:
One other thing to mention that I've found a fix for is that as well as syncing just "My Contacts", it also syncs "Other Contacts" as well. Other contacts are people you've sent emails to that aren't necessarily in your contacts list already. I just didn't care to see these on my KF, so there is a two step process for getting rid of them if you so desire.

1. Tick and then delete all the "Other Contacts" via the Gmail web interface, making sure that any of the ones you need to keep are created in "My Contacts".

2. In Mail Settings under the General tab there is a setting called "Create contacts for auto-complete". Set this to "I'll add contacts myself".

This should clear the Kindle Fire (assuming you have added the sync apk mentioned above) of the rouge contacts and ensure that any new ones don't get a Contact added under "Other Contacts".
[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
Has anyone gotten this working for the Google Calendar app?

There was some sort of Amazon Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk in the system app folder but I overwrote those with the Google ones from my phone. Maybe I need those original files to get it to work? Can anyone pull them from their system/app folder and upload a copy?
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
Yup, it's working perfectly. Grab the two .apk's from this post and follow the instructions.

Did you rename the google .apks, or just chose to replace the existing Amazon ones when tyring to install? Sorry, I would pull the original Amazon ones for you but I'm at work and left my KF at home. If they're not up by the time I get home I'll put them up.
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
1 of the 2

Here's the CalendarProvider.apk and for some reason I don't have an AmazonCalendar.apk in /system/app. My /data folder is completely empty (unrooted, so idk if that's why it's empty) so it may be in there. Maybe someone else can post that one? If not I'll root again tonight or tomorrow and post it for you.

Sorry, I'm not gonna have time right now. Oh, and btw this is the first time I've tried pulling an .apk off the KF so please let me know if I didn't do it correctly. :D
[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
It worked, thank you!

[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
Btw, I don't care much for it because I use the Calendar most in Agenda view, but does your month view look like this with an orange Android?

Edit: Nvm, there was a copy of calendar.apk in system/app that wasn't supposed to be there and removing that fixed it :)
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
Woah, no it doesn't. It's just the standard month view.
[Kindle Fire General] chaose:
tried this and follow every step, still can't get contacts and calendar to sync.

gmail doens't really sync either, have to manually refresh each time. is it because I have an account set up under the default email client?

I have copied the calendar sync adapter and contacts sync adapter to /system/app and chmod 0644 it. then i rebooted and installed calendar.apk normally. doesn't appear to work.

gmail I have the option for sync for my email set to on, but I don't think it's working.

Am I missing something? Market is working fine, apps install normally.
[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
Are you sure that the permissions for the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk files in system/app look like this..?
[Kindle Fire General] jjruppert:
What app is that that you are using to change permissions? thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] ags29:
It's Root Explorer (a must have for root users).
[Kindle Fire General] ghost_og:
Does this work?

For Calendar: When you go into Menu>More>Calendars are the calendars your trying to sync visible and synced? It took a few minutes for my events to properly load up.

Gmail: From inbox, Menu>Accounts>Menu>Account settings>yourname@gmail.com and make sure Gmail is selected (as well as any other google servies you want synced). My gmail was turned off initially. I also made the mistake of thinking Menu>More>Settings was the only sync option for gmail.

Don't have contacts set up, sorry.
[Kindle Fire General] richliu:
My experience is, after setting amazon's default e-mail app,

gmail.app also can use contacts.

But I don't know which one app works.

Maybe either GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk or amazon contacts works.
[Kindle Fire General] trunksy:
Does anyone get a grey bar at the top of their Google Calendar that partially covers the first row of dates in the month view and the midnight hour block in the other views? How do I get rid of it?
[Kindle Fire General] markazali:
I am also struggling with calendar sync. My other apps recognize my account (gmail/reader/music), but my calendars don't show up in settings.

Device is rooted, permissions applied, and contacts are synced.

Yes. How to root?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] sanpsa:
Got root :D

Found this from goapk forum:

Dial * # * # 2846579 # * # *

Go to projectmenu, background settings, log settings, log switch and set Log on

Reboot phone

Set USB debugging on

Download DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

From here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321582

Unzip, connect usb (dont mount SD) and run runme.bat

Let it do the magic, and when phone reboots, its rooted :)

Rough translation:

1, download ROOT tools, there are links below. (DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip)

2, ensure that ADB drivers are correctly installed

3, turn on usb debugging in settings -> applications -> debugging. turn off fast boot option in settings -> applications

4, open dialer, type *#*#2846579#*#*, projectmenu, background settings, log setting, on, go back, open dump & log, turn on all options.

5 , on the PC run runme.bat

6, wait for the complete restart.

7, OK Congratulations root complete!

Tested myself. Works perfectly.

I just thought to write this.

I tried CMW recovery, and the yellow one, device stuck at boot. Only normal boot is possible. And I forget to backup the original.

Can anyone post it here?

And one hint if you don' t want to boot to pink screen and need to put out the battery(I have a silicone case and it' s a bit problem).

Via adb you can direct mount the partition as root:

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /.cust_backup

Then you can have access to this partition from device' s root file manager without to reboot.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I suggest to don' t mix root methods.

I had problems after rooting this way and solved only by reflashing the rom.

I had this kind of problem(and others) for many times I tried.

I did the logcat enabling steps and reboots about 10 times, and doomlord' s method(I sticked with this only) allways failed, with this that you discribed, or with failing to push the files to /system, or other errors that I don't remember.

I tried to do the proccess from another pc, with similar results.

I've finally managed to successfully root the device with this app after more than 20 times.

And I' m very sure that I complete the steps that described on first post before the first time I tried.

So, the proccess isn' t 100% success for first time(unless your lucky).

I remember I had similar problems when htc tattoo's root method was in early development stages. There wasn't a automatic tool and just needed to do it manually from console window, and the proccess failed a lot of times before succeed.

This solved when the devs improve the method and release a better file. Then the proccess had success every time.

So, I think we need a better file for X5.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Do we have the new kernel 2.6.35.7-perf source? From there it should be possible to modify it to make it rootable, right?

Loureiro, you have it rooted and no bootlooping issue? I need to get the new partition table with names so I could try porting CWM. If you can, run "adb shell", then "su" and "cat /proc/mtd" and output the table if you get it, not sure if the command works for our phone. I managed to get half of the table by "cat /proc/partitions" and "cat /proc/mounts".

The partition table differences should be mostly the formatting, but I want to be sure before I test something.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Loureiro:

mtd gave me nothing :(

I've uploaded partitions and mount's log, dunno if it's usefull for you or not.

I've never had an android before, and never worked with adb, I don't know where I must search to get a partition table. I'm only used to some basic linux commands :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
Thanks, though I think I got it sorted out. I put the phone in pink screen mode, then connected to USB, and one of the partitions had fota folder, which contained a log. I opened that and what do you know, the full recovery table used in the stock recovery. I think I have all I need for now.
