Hey guys - I'm looking for any suggestions on a voice recorder that's pretty good. The stock one seems to pick up a TON of background noise, and it just sounds...well, dirty.

Anyone have any suggestions? Free is good, but I'd be willing to shell out a few bucks for something worth it.

Give "Hi-Q MP3 Recorder" a try.

I've tried quite a few & this one is the best one I could find.

Appreciate this. I actually just bought the full version a few days ago, and I agree, the best I've found so far.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fedupey1:
Hi all,

New to Android here. Just got a AT&T Galaxy S II Skyrocket after 4 frustrating years with iPhones.

So far I really like Android, especially that it lets you change what you don't like. I do feel that both devices are unacceptably tethered to their respective corporate landlords - and google is not necessarily better than apple in that respect - but Android lets you change that more readily. For instance myphoneexplorer lets you sync with outlook pretty flawlessly if you don't care to upload your info to google's "cloud", etc.

OK, I'm done ranting now but I do have 2 specific questions:

1. My particular SIISR does not display a visual reminder nor sounds a loud enough alarm when (a) I get a text, or (b) a calendar event comes due. It just makes a ridiculously soft noise that I miss every time I'm not standing in an empty recording studio, and even worse when I pull the phone the screen is dark so I have no idea what the feeble alarm was about. I expect the same level of alert as when I get a call, i.e. the lock screen lights up and I can read / snooze / dismiss as the case may be. This is really pretty amazing that such dirt-basic functionality is not included in the software, at the very least easily enabled in Settings. Am I really expected to turn on the phone and pull down the Notifications curtain to find out what is going on? If there is no workaround this will be a showstopper for me and I'll have no choice but to return the phone.

2. I like the idea of upgrading to a rom like cyanogen when it becomes available for the SIISR, but I am concerned about how at&t cottons up to having rooted and OS-reflashed devices on its network and what they might do about it, and more specifically what happens when updates are pushed down the pipe. What is you guys' real world experience with that?

Thank you for your feedback! I'd really like to stick with my new Android phone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jacobharasimo:
you go into setting and the sound option. click on volume and make sure it maxed out, then click notification ringtone and you can change the sound.

As for visual reminder its at the top left of the screen. Text shows an envelope and calender alert a different icon.. I use handcent for sms and it works way better than stock program.

Not sure if BLN works on the this model but try it. it will leave your softkeys lit when you have a text.

you can try different lock screens via golocker so that you dont have to unlock your phone to see what the alert was but to actually read the alert or know more than if it was a message or email or phone call you have to unlock it for security reasons as perhaps you get confidential material that not just ANYONE should see.

as for rooted and custom firmware its safe, and prevents stock updates from your provider. as android is opensource you are allowed to customize it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
As to #1, you can change the notification sound both in your email settings and in the phones settings/sounds area. As to it being a dark screen when you go to check it.. thats one of the downsides to this particular model, no notification LED.. there is an app on the android market called NoLED that will put a little picture on the black screen to make up for it. BUT I cannot vouch for whether or not it drains battery (my chief concern), just have to try it out.

#2 I've been on AT&T with a rooted/flashed phone of various models since 2008 and I've never had them notice/say anything. It does void your warranty flashing, but there are ways of getting it back to stock if you do end up needing that. At the moment on this phone I believe you can't get it *perfectly* back to stock, but just have to give the devs here time and it will be available eventually.

*NoLED is on my list of apps to check battery usage, I'll get on it and post again tomorrow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jacobharasimo:
while the forums are a great resource for things, you will get answers faster if you just google (or youtube) things like 'how to change android sms sound' ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Sounds even better than NoLED.. givin that a try too :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cue_32:
BLN requires a kernel that supports BLN, its only a matter of time when one of these great devs on here creates one.

Handcent SMS (free in the market) has the option to have your message pop up and remain on your screen until you cancel it. Almost like the iPhone.

As what Jacob said, when you are running a rooted device, you are most likely running a custom Recovery like CWM. Its actually the custom recovery that prevents you from getting the updates Over The Air. HOWEVER, the way the devs work... those new updates will generally be available for you way before your carrier sends it to your device. So rooted or not, you're gonna wanna root it anyway cause you'll end up being one of the few who wont have ICS, or whatever. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zomgjosho:
Da_G supports it - look in the dev forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Charles::
Like it was said, you won't get updates from AT&T, but why would you want AT&T updates to overwrite your Cyanogen ROM?? When you flash Cyanogen (or any ROM), you follow that ROM and reflash when updates are available. So instead of relying on AT&T for updates, you'll rely on the developer of the ROM for updates. Also, as long as you're not trying to exchange the phone or anything like that, AT&T has no right to tell you how to use your phone. Root it, flash it...throw it against the wall...it's yours. Do what you want. Now, when you try to warranty your wall smashed phone, you better hope you have a stock AT&T ROM on there if it powers up. Every time I've warrantied a phone, it's been dead, so it didn't matter. If it won't turn on, they can't tell what ROM you have, and really, most of those "techs" just want to give you a new phone and get you on your way. Personally, I've never had a problem getting a new phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dxtra:
#1 go into sms press settings in there change your SMS ringtone. If you want an iPhone SMS type of visual reminder (bubble alert) download SMS popup from the market tinker the settings to your liking.

I'll suggest every new iPhone to android user to read the phones manual or Google your questions before jumping to conclusion that android doesn't have this and that. Most likely it does. You can customize android how ever You want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fedupey1:
Has anyone had experience with the Chinese GO Launcher and the widgets that come with it? They look pretty cool, and it seems they have the functionality I'm missing.

btw I can understand the "read the manual first" comments; I did read the manual and, not unpredictably, it said nothing about functionality that doesn't exit.

Thanks for all the input so far everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gibbs:
I recently upgraded from the iphone to the Skyrocket, and am loving it. I wasn't sure whether I was going to like it the first few days, but now when I pick up my husband's iphone it seems like a toy compared to the Skyrocket. :-)

I just started using Go Launcher Ex two days ago. It has a lot of slick and useful features. I haven't finished exploring all of the options available, but so far I'm enjoying the themes, locker options, and SMS pro. It's easy to try Go, and you always can uninstall it if you don't like it. I did have to redo my widgets after installing it, but that was actually kind of fun with the new theme I installed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] sulpher:
Not a huge deal but something to keep in mind with GO launcher.. recently noticed with system panel that GO launcher drains battery excessively when the phone is idle (device on but screen off), so i switched to launcher pro which drains FAR less with the screen off. The app is nearly the same as far as functionality, with one or two exceptions that can be added by purchasing the the pro version if you really need them (resizing widgets). I decided it was worth it to use less battery.

*note, im a battery stickler.. I can't stand any extra drain :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] starryeyez:
more then happy to help you out.

I know switching from the Iphone to Android is a big change. I was so confused for about a week. Anyways, if you want I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about your phone. I use the Go Launcher and Go SMS , I know a lot about them. Anyway just PM me if you'd like. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
it has been my experience, because all returned/exchanged phones are sent out for reconditioning, att nor does the manufacturer care what OS modification has been performed on the phone. I returned my cappy at the atrix launch and asked specifically about the issue of "stock" or not, then I handed my serendipity cappy right over. Never heard back from att since and I'm still upgrading phones today without any heat. no worries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Gibbs:
Good to know, thanks for the info. I'm really happy with Go launcher, and in fact have noticed much better battery performance than I had previously with a live wallpaper. But I'll look into launcher pro if the battery performance is a problem in the future.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] the2rrell:
i can confirm that Go Launcher DRAINS battery very much.....but i still use it i like to functions.

just letting you know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fedupey1:
I installed GO Launcher EX, it looks very cool; polished and very usable UI is a massive improvement. I recommend it. Ditto GO Dialer / contacts, a huge improvement over stock. GO calendar widget is OK but not fabulous; it looks good though with the Transparency theme. GO locker was pretty but rather useless, I uninstalled it.

Installed SMS popup, works excellent. I'm happy with it. Who knew I'd get excited over functionality that used to be standard 6 years ago.

Then for my calendar I looked for an iPhone type of visual reminder (bubble alert) that wakes up the phone and displays even when the screen is locked. I only found two:

- Calendar Snooze, of which I am currently running the free version. It does the job, but it's sort of aesthetically challenged.

- The pathetic Nudnik, which I uninstalled immediately. It looks like it was designed by a pre-schooler.

Now I need to resolve my lock screen issue, then I'll be content (it locks up immediately whenever I press Power although I set the delay to 10 mins in Settings).

I think I'll give Cyanogen a whirl if it becomes available for Skyrocket.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
I've been rooted for about 3 months. I like flashing and changing what I can to try and get the most out of my phone. My issue is this. Many of the new roms have the updated launcher which is all good but the new navbar is so big and goofy looking compared to the old one (of course in my opinion) is there a way to make a flashable zip of the old 3 "button", grey navbar? Or do I just have to get used to the new one. Can post pics if I'm being unclear

Just wondering if I'm the only one who feels this way about the newer launchers?
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
The uot kitchen might have what you need?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
thanks i just havent had time to go look and see if i can cook that myself... There wouldnt be some good books i could pick up to learn about doing my own dev work would there? Ive got ideas but not any know how on how to get them past the idea phase Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
No luck in the kitchen. i dont know why i dislie it so much but it really does keep me from using alot of roms
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You would need to edit the 9.PNG files in framework-res.apk. this can be done with the kitchen and other tools running in the proper linux environment.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
Please elaborate. Still somewhat of a noob. Thank you though
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
I looked all over the kitchens sight for a way to contact the people who run it to ask them but I couldn't find it. BUT I was playing Dead Island at the time so my attention was divided. Zombies with guns. What the hell?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Here is a method that may work with just using the kitchen. First you want to take an old 2.1 Rom and make a working folder in kitchen. Then take whatever Rom you are going to use and create a working folder for that one as well. It will ask if you want to back up your other working folder, select yes. You should end up with 2 working folders. What you could do is take the 9.PNG files out of the sense 2.1 rom. They are in system/framework/framework-res.apk. you will have to extract the folder then open the same folder in the Rom you want to use and extract that as well. See what the names of the matching files are and change the name of the 2.1 files to match the files in the Rom you want to use. Once you do that replace them with the 2.1 files. Compress the folder and rename the .zip to .apk. After that proceed with step 99 to build Rom and flash. If it does not work then you will have to use apk manager, which you will have to study up on because it requires a lot more dependancies than the kitchen does. I recommend installing ubuntu to do all this in. I have never swapped 9.PNG files so I am not sure if it will work. This does work with normal .PNG files though. So it is worth a shot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
WOW that sounds complicated. But being as curios and eager to learn as i am i will give it a shot. I assume you mean installijng ubuntu on my netbook so ill figure that out throug google or something, ill try to find some lit on this subject before trying so i can read up on it Thank you so much for your help. None of my friends that i personally know are into this so the only people that i can talk to about it is online friends. Its always easier having someone next to you versus trying to message and post back and forth, Thanks though your the ****
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Just swapping .9 will work as long as the dementions are the same. If the themer changed them you will bootloop.

Here is some advice. Grab your favorite theme zip and unzip it with 7zip. Then unzip the apks and look around to get comfortable with the folder layout and image names. The hit up the apk multitool thread and read up on it. Except for the sdk and Java it is all in there. Everything a Modders needs short of the kitchen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
So by what Zelendel says, I don't need to use the kitchen and ubuntu??? It's really complicated to install and I've o.ly got Windows 7 starter on my netbook.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
You guys are awesome though. I really appreciate all the help

[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
Ok I had to go to HTC.com before posting to double check but I just looked at all the new phones and they all have the navbar that I'm trying to keep around. So my question is where did the one that is in all the newer ROMs cone from? I had initially though HTC changed it AMD that's why we were seeing them on all the Roms we love to flash but if the new phones don't have it why does is end up even on a port from another phone that "completely stock, out of the box" have the smaller navbar that I seem to like so much.

Anywho I finally go ubuntu installed in my Virtual Box so I've got to wait till I get off work today to start playing with it. Hope it works. Thank you everyone for the advice and help. I will let you know how it works out. I'm sure it won't be that easy and ill have more questions though. THANKS
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
They are from unofficial releases that devs got their hands on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Diesel321:
I may be in over my head a nit but I'm still going to try. In ubuntu every time I shut the machine down instead of saving the current state when I open it again it tells me to upgrade the BIOS. I can't find any info on that particular problem. I'm also having issues with the java install. I install it and it seems to go just fine but when I try to verify it says command not found.

Hello, when i go to widgets the launcher fc, Why it does it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CanaganD:
Seems like the majority of 3rd party widgets I had on my Nexus One is not compatible with ICS....

I'm hoping that'll change
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonime:
It gives fc in the originals widgets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brandonyoung:
I thought it was one of the apps on my phone, but I uninstalled some of them, and my launcher still force closes when I browse through the widgets.

After uninstalling those apps, when browsing on the second screen of widgets when it crashes, the widgets on screen are Calendar 2 x 3, Contact 4 x 1, contact 1 x 1, Direct Dial 1 x 1, direct Message 1 x 1, Directions and Navigation 1 x 1.

restoring the apps that I uninstalled previously, it gets past the pages with the previously mentioned widgets without crashing, and crashes on the fourth page, with widgets for Evernote, Filemanager HD, and Foursquare.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I am running the stock ROM, rooted and with ClockworkMOD recovery flashed. I haven't made any other customizations, yet.

EDIT: I fixed the problem when I flashed the latest factory image, and loaded my apps one by one. It looks like it was one bad app that I restored from my previous phone. Odd that it wasn't one of those that was showing when the launcher crashed. It looks like it was the KCRW radio player app.

Well, i decided to write a CarAudio app! I've been messing with car audio for years and i remember back in the day when i was less experienced (hell even today) that i had to go double check the wiring diagrams, or whip out my volt meter and calculator to get it tuned just right.

This app has almost everything you could want to install car audio, and lets face it. At least once or twice a year you get roped into helping a buddy install a system.

I will be updating the app's faq with any suggestions etc as i think of them or get them by you the users.

Here are the pics.. FREE no ads as always..

Let me know what you guys think..
