I think there's something to this.

I have no idea if this is always the issue, but I had this problem and when I looked at the accessibility settings, lightflow did show up and was enabled there. I turned it off, and not only does lightflow still work, google books has stopped reading out loud all the time. I'd say turning off all of the accessibility settings that are enabled would be worth a shot, even if you don't have lightflow, there might be something there that's screwing with accessibility.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rylake:
This is the issue. It is a bug with ICS and not lightflow - but happens none the less.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sowelie:
Thanks! That definitely was the issue. Once I disabled light flow in accessibility settings, the problem went away! You rule!

So i've been trying to change the icons on my screen. Tired a few ways but it doesnt seem to work. When i'm on my home screen i hold one of my icons and press replace -> custom icon. i'm sure i have elegant themes and more themes installed from the market already, but all that shows up is ASTRO, bluetooth file tansfer, gallery and messenger withyou. Same happens when i use folder organizer lite to do it! I'm i doing something wrong?

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranjan.alva:
Folder organizer works for me.

Open Folder Organizer > Apps > Press Drop Down Menu on any of Apps > Select "Icon"

and then select new icon from "And Explorer" or any other method.

after these steps

Go back to Home screen Long press on Home screen, Select " Widgets" > Scroll left and select "Folder Organizer Item" > Select "Apps" > Now Select the app that you have changed the icon previously. Thats it. New Icon Appears on Home Screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B2k_ru:
Hello :D

Could anyone write me a quick overview of creating icons for the HTC Desire.

I have looked, and searched ( Which seems to search google and not the site), as much as I can through the forum. I am a artist and would like to create a few icons packs, as I own this phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. ;)

Regards

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ewors:
It depends on what ROM are you using.. If your running LauncherPRO,GOlaucher or ADWlauncher/X then its very easy to create some icons. If your artist like you mentioned, then create some in Gimp/Photoshop, save it as .png, and transfer them into your phone. Then you must find setting in your laucher to change the icon image from your SDcard. Thats not the science ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rafalema:
Hey there, and welcome to the forums.

I've been creating my own icons for quite some time, and I've found that this works the best no matter what launcher are you using.

1. Create your icon, If you're going for the 1x1 then a good resolution would be 128x128. If you want 2x1/1x2 tiles then you need 128x256 or 256x128. You get the idea. Save in .PNG and make sure the parts you want to be transparent are so.

2. Move your icons to your device, if moving a lot of icons, USB is the best but if you just need 1-5 icons transferred then Dropbox is very handy.

3. Download "Desktop VisualizeR". It allows you to create shortcuts with your own icons, with or without label texts.

If you want to change the icons you have on the dock, then it's very launcher-specific. I have LauncherPro, if you click and hold your finger on a dock icon, a menu pops up in which you can change the icon, the app, etc.

If you have any more questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Good luck!

Hi there

sorry for asking I am somewhat new to Android.

I read very often that Google Maps should be froozen because it is a battery sucker. Now I am wondering how an application could drain the battery when I actually do not run the application.

How does Android itself deal with applications and quitting them?

I read conflicting recommendations about task managers stating that Android itself deals with this better.

So what is this freezing of apps? Does it prevent Android from starting it automatically?

Thanks for any education

Claas
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Human_dude_007:
Android is based on multi tasking ..ie many apps can run in the background even though you are not using it at the moment..say if you are using maps and once you're done you just exit it. However maps app will be running in background if not exited in proper manner( either using the app or by going to running services in settings and force closing).

Also certain apps are configured to autorun under certain circumstances ..say for maps or Facebook app! -try keeping your wifi /data off! Go to settings/apps/running services/menu-cached process and force close Facebook,maps however once you turn on data /wifi they will run automatically! Just check it out yourself ..

Solutions for such problems could be either to use autorun managers or to freeze the app -freezing makes the app unavailable for use until you de-freeze!ie it blocks the app from running ..

Above said statements /examples are from my experiences!correct me if I'm wrong!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] MickaelX:
Yes but be careful, if you use task killers to kill them, they may start again and this will consume more battery than the program running.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] metalboy94:
Imho the best way to go about this is the following:

- go get Quick System Info PRO from Market (it's free)

- set it up so that it places a CPU usage icon on your status bar (the notification for that icon is also animated)

- when you find the device is sluggish and CPU usage is high, tap the notification and go to the Processes tab

- sort by CPU usage

- kill whatever it is that is using the CPU

And you may also kill all tasks just once before going to bed or something, just in case. ;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
To stop maps, use autostarts;) disable all maps have in there, then you can be cool:)

I'm no fan of SOPA and I ditched GoDaddy on the few domains I own, but I find blackouts like this to be counterproductive.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamthegoat:
Or will that cause issues? I'd like to set it back to complete stock, but when I tried locking it again it wouldn't start up. So then I unlocked it again, and its working fine. However I found in another topic that I need to flash the old software onto it. Is there a guide anywhere that would show me how to flash stock specifically?

Also, when I was trying to flash a new recovery earlier, it wouldn't let me. Is it odd that I could unlock/lock my boot loader in adb, but not flash anything?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Don't, that is Don't relock your bootloader unless you have flashed back to the correct stock images for your Xoom model. There are threads/guides to do that in General and in Development. But why not just try one of the rooted ICS roms like EOS?

I hit the casino, won some money, and deposited it into my bank. Tomorrow morning I'm ordering my SGS2. Within a week (I expect) I will no longer be using my N1. I'm excited and sad at the same time. My N1 has served me so well for 2 years now. I've gone through phases of being a "crackflasher", had a ton of ROMs on it (although I always went back to CM), and I use it HEAVILY. Even though it is 2 years old it still performs so well compared to newer devices. The XDA N1 community has been friendly, helpful, and full of great development. I liked my N1 so much I considered the HTC Amaze for a while because I assumed it would be similar in a lot of ways but just have better insides. Now my future is full of ODIN, download mode, and a lack of CM (as of now at least).

I'm going to repurpose my N1 to be my mp3 player and XBMC remote. Yes, it already does those things and my SGS2 will be able to as well. I just figured if I leave the 16gb card in there and use it this way will save battery on my new phone. I've done this with another old phone and phone that removing things like phone.apk, sms.apk, and other "crucial" system apps you are left with a wifi only device that has unbelievable battery life.

Anyway, sorry for all the blubbering.
[Nexus One General] jalaram:

I'm still on the fence. I really love my N1, especially with the MeDroid CM7 rom on it. I've been looking at the SGS2 and Galaxy Nexus as possible candidates, but the plastic feel is a bit of a turn off. I'm really hoping HTC does come out with a Tegra 3 phone that has a metal body.

I just got an i9100 sgs2,and Oxygen 2.3.2 works great on it. So far I haven't noticed any bugs.
