GoSMS Pro for Messaging.

QuickPro for Gallery - The stock is not that bad but it could be better.

Mobo Player for Videos.

If you don't like Sense, there are a variety of lauchers (Go Launcher, ADW, LauncherPro, and etc.)

ES File Explorer - I prefer this over many others because it have a clean UI and also have quite a bit of functions.

WidgetLocker for lock screen.

Handy Calc, Cube Calc, or RealCalc for Calculator.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmean:
hi there,

two questions.

1: where are lockscreens taken from? There must be some secret source i don't know about :D

2: how are they integrated into an existing theme?

I have a custom theme over here (on stock jvz). I would like to have some more lockscreens, but it seems they only come bundled into some other theme which i do not want/need.

So i searched for a lockscreen-mod, but either there isn't one, or I'm too stupid ;)

So I'm asking here: how to get (or even implement) different lockscreens by myself?

Regards :)

Im looking for an app, free or not, that will let me text from my touchpad with cyanogen, obviously the phone would be what physically sends the text. Just looking for some kind of integration/sync ability.

Anything out there like this?

[HTC Sensation] kpf16:
I try and use the get more space option but get a on screen message, Unable to find an activity to handle this action.
[HTC Sensation] exb0:
that sounds like an error from ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombieflanders:
So, thanks to a combination of dissatisfaction with AT&T and a desire to escape Apple's deathgrip, I've switched to Verizon and bought myself a shiny new Galaxy Nexus. Amazon has informed me that the phone will be in my grubby little paws by tomorrow evening, which is awesome; but now I have to port over everything that I've stored via Apple's methods for the last 4 years, which is less awesome.

So what's the best way to do this? I will be rooting the GN almost literally right out of the box, and while I haven't had a Android phone before, I have a Nook Color that I've used to run (via uSD) Nookie Froyo, CM7, and a pre-alpha of ICS/CM9, all of which I've synced with added GApps at least once. My primary Google account (I have two) has almost no contacts, so if at all possible, I'd prefer to overwrite that entirely with my Apple/iPhone contacts. And although I know it's highly unlikely, if there's a way to copy over SMS/MMS history I would be in heaven. I'd also like to copy as much of my music, pics, and videos (~25GB total) out of iTunes and iPhoto as I can, although if there's a way to sync Android with either, that'd be swell.

FWIW, I have both a Mac and a Win7 box, so I can use either or both for any of these processes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madj42:
In iTunes you can specify a Google account to sync with. See here. You'll have to pull your other data off and sync it with the phone through MTP using your Windows 7 machine or the Android File Transfer utility on the Mac.

You might want to take a look at using Picasa Web and Google Music for your music and pictures. Works for myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Polymira:
Just follow these instructions to setup google contact sync on the iPhone:

http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740

When you activate your Nexus and put in your gmail information, you will automagically have your contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zombieflanders:
Okay, synced and merged the Google contacts in 5 minutes flat. Thanks for the help, I think I'm looking good there. I am worried about things being overwritten by Facebook integration (which almost happened to my mom when she went from an iPhone 3G to a Bionic), but is that not a concern with the GN/ICS? And if I copied over all the contact info from my primary Google account to my secondary account, would it avoid dupes?

As for the music, I've been a member of Google Music since the beta, but the last time it synced with iTunes things got a little messed up (i.e., incorrect tags/ID3, missing artwork, etc). Could I blow my GM library away and start anew without running into storage or bandwidth issues? And could I set it up so that every time it syncs with iTunes it downloads a copy to the phone, or at least notifies me?

Thanks for the help, sorry if it's too many questions.

ETA: And here's another. Does this method/app(s) for SMS/MMS backup seem legit? I would love it if this worked too, since that would take care of the last of my major concerns.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yelped:
Hi,

I have very limited space on the system partition, so I can't install any apps larger than 2MB. I do have plenty of room on the data partition, so if I download the APK myself, I can install it. It appears that the Market uses the system partition as a download cache, until it installs the app. Therefore, I can install several apps summing up more than 2MB, however not a single app bigger than 2MB.

My question is, how to grow the system partition to use the space in the data partition.

I would suggest making a nandroid backup, then deleting all the files in that folder (make sure you're the right one). It should not affect your system since that folder is usually safe to delete files from, but ".so" files are driver files, so it would be safer to make the backup (just in case).

If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn't currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it's available again in your region.
