[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wiiplayer94:
well, you see the question above.. i really canÄt understand why it is missing . And besides, is anyone able to upload an apk of the music app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
Couldn't you just download it from the market? I mean, if you flashed gapps, then you have the market so you can just get it there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sean is here.:
Dunno why it's not included, my guess is that Google might have the answer to that or whoever put together the gApps zip file.

And as to your second question:

Maybe try the search function? ...or Google it?

I'm a nice guy today, so I did the footwork for you...

gMusic APK
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Certain ROMS (codename android being one of them) are adhering more strictly to Google's policy regarding Gapps and have removed music, maps etc so the zip won't contain them. Other zips on the other hand will.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stadsport:
Because it's not officially available in all markets, so including them with an internationally-available gapps package circumvents Google's regional restrictions. If it's available in your market, you can just get it from the marketplace anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If they were adhering to Google's policy, they wouldn't be packaging Google Apps at all. You are not allowed to redistribute them, in or out of a rom. You are allowed to back them up from your own personal device. Thats it.

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/What_is_CyanogenMod
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Ah, my mistake. Apologies. I was under the impression certain Gapps were OK for distribution, just not all. So Gapps are not strictly legally allowed to distributed ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Correct. While even CM uses Google Apps packages, they will never admit that they are the ones that put them together ;)

I am not saying that I don't do the same, just explaining that Google is within their right to bring our world crashing down around us if they felt so inclined.

The "legal" thing to do is to use a script to backup your current Google Apps so that you can move them to your own rom. Amon Ra recovery does (or used to) do this and I think CM has a script somewhere as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Ah. OK. Good info that. I back up all apps regardless on a regular basis, but as a matter of course I download the Gapps from within the rom thread for the sake of a 'clean install'. Might as well use my backups now then :-)

Did you know you can take screenshots if you're on any of the stock roms for the Optimus Black.

Just press the [HOME] button and the power [i/o] button together quickly and a quick screen capture will be saved of the present screen you're on.:D

If you didn't know this already then hitting the thanks button is much appreciated, and if you already knew this then please don't bash on me here. :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus Black] gsal:
And if you long press the home key alone it opens the most recent apps that you used.;)
[LG Optimus Black] pritrixda:
Thank you for the sarcastic comment. I guess you didn't read the first post properly and that might be because you're too careless. Anyways this is for the brand new OB users. :(

No man you misunderstood. I wasn't sarcastic. I just brought it up. I didn't mean to be sarcastic. Sorry.. and i think that the information you posted is very useful for some people who didn't know that.
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
I knew this but

Its useful for android beginners :) most phones can take screenshot by pressing home and power button
[LG Optimus Black] TheGripper:
Why don't you compile all your knowledge and put it under one thread...

Most xda members already know these moves (if i am correct :D)
[LG Optimus Black] pritrixda:
Its not a move. What in the world makes you think its a move? I am not gaining anything from here, just a guy who's sharing the little knowledge he has with the world. So please okay just please.
[LG Optimus Black] TheGripper:
English is still my second language and I guess I expressed myself incorrectly.... by "moves "i meant that what you are sharing with us (button combinations), not that you gain smth.
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
A lil' bit touchy, eh ?

Don't be like that,start to take feedbacks from others

Btw,i completely agree with TG

It'll be easier to search tips if they're in the same thread for begginers

Sent from derp-mobile
[LG Optimus Black] pritrixda:
Point taken. I will do that asap.
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
+1 and read what others had to say carefully because many here are not use to English, it's easy to misunderstood. Then you're good to go. Thanks for the tips.

I think there should be an unique thread about tips like that. Who's motivated ? :)

What is the best camera for the x2? Last night I tried to take a close up photo of some bud, and it came out all unfocused. I'm using the miui camera btdubbs.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Check out HDR camera in market for stuff like that... I have been using it for a while...it takes 3 different exposure level pics and makes an AWESOME looking picture from it...then i usually turn the contrast all the way up (in the app...ull, see after taking a pic...different adjustments can be made)

Make sure in settings u have it set for 8MP pics...

Trust me it's awesome....i even got the paid version i like it so much
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Here are a few examples of the pics I've taken using HDR camera+

[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
You were taking a picture of some bud? You sure it just wasnt your eyes that were blurry? lol. jk.

Simply, the X2 camera just isnt as good as other cameras. Ive used Camera Zoom FX though, and I like it.

With Camera zoom fx I like the pics how clear they are.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kreko20:
Hello Sr. ! :D

im new to this forum.. im just interested to rooting my x10mini. ive been searching answer for these question but not found any. so, im end up to register in this forum just to make this clear to me.

The questions are:

1) If im root my x10mini, did my sms/text message in GoSMS Pro,stock sms and simcard; contact number in stock contact, simcard; notes in OnePunch notepad, stock notepad;calender's birthday dates in EboBirthday, stock calender; stock apps that installed when i bought like youtube,market,etc will be gone/deleted automatically exactly after rooted?

2)If the answer yes all will be deleted and my x10mini will be like empty with nothing install in it, how can i backup those sms,contacts,notes,birthday dates and stock apps so that after root i just can restore these things in the rooted x10mini?

3)If the answer no that root wont touch anything and it is just root only, which root application suite well with x10mini and after root did root application just like other application that i can open and set phone setting in setting menu?

Thanks to all Sr. in advance.. Im really really appreciated your help.. Im just too naive about this root things.. I want to root because i want the multi-touch function as well as the phone running much faster than usual. :)

[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
I know there are a few threads on this, but they are cluttered with talk about non-windshield mounting docks/mounts and what apps launch.

My mission is to find the best windshield mounting car dock/cradle/whatever for the HTC Sensation. It has to be tight, so no "goosenecks." No universal junk either.

Options so far:

1) OEM HTC Car dock

The problem with this one seems to be that the "arm" of the mount isn't long enough and may not fit in portrait mode if your windshield is too "raked" (angled). It will hit the windshield in some cases.

I was reading another thread where one of the posters reviewed it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16385008&postcount=117

2) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Windshi...ccessories&hash=item20c2736c35#ht_1268wt_1139

3) http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Car-Win...ccessories&hash=item231333bc36#ht_2876wt_1139 - Looks like this arm would be too short as well

Suggestions??

Right now I have a OEM mount for my Motorola Milestone (Droid) which worked perfectly:

The arm was long enough to allow the phone to swivel to any postition without hitting the windshield and it also came up far away from the windshield close to my fingers. Just for reference, I drive a 1994 BMW 325i (E36).
[HTC Sensation] gbarayah:
Check out the Arkon Series Mounts. I had the S514 for my DZ, which is a little small for the Sensation but will be ordering Deluxe Mini Mount. At $15, they are great quality products and a good value. Highly recommend.

http://www.arkon.com/smartphone-car-mount.html
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Interesting, looks like the deluxe has more movement than the regular mini. I say that because it looks like it has an extra joint. Why is it cheaper than the regular Arkon mini mount? Any idea if it has a magnet so that the phone knows it is "docked"? On my motorola with CM7 this would (at the very least, with Car Home uninstalled), keep the screen on without dimming.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I know the OP doesn't like the "crappy universal" mounts, but the universal one I use is the Arkon MG115. And I can say it's beyond crappy universal lol. It's well made. I assume that the OP meant the universal no-name brand with bad build quality.

The reason I opted for the universal one is because I use different cases depending on where I am using the phone. If I am on vacation, I will bring this to use with my Seidio Active case. Otherwise I use an Aprolink hybrid case, which is a bit thinner.

The mini mount I use can be mounted on the dash with the disk you see there and also can be mounted on the windshield of course. But users may vary. Some may not like it and some like other "styles". I posted some personal pics a while back if anyone wants to take a gander let me know, I'll dig em up. :)

And on a related note, I have been using various docks from craigsdocks.com and they recently released a specific swivel dock made for the Senny and can be adjusted for cases or extended batteries like the Mugen batteries.

http://www.craigsdocks.com/htc-sensation-car-dock-swivel-style/
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Yes, I just meant something of quality. The Arkon MG115 is the Arkon Mobile Grip Mini on their site. I'll probably go either with this or MG114, the "deluxe." Are the little arms padded? Phone doesn't slowly slide down from vibrations? Do the little arms come over the front of the screen once mounted?

I forgot to mention it should allow the camera to see through the mount.

Keep em coming. If someone has pictures of the OEM car dock mounted on a windshield, please post them
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I chose the M115 only because I know myself, I would continue to adjust the middle joint to the point of breaking lol. So I opted for the shorty that couldn't be adjusted in the mid arm. I can still swivel pretty well with the dock. And I use this mount with Waze navigation all thetime and take pics to report accidents, traffic conditions, etc.
[HTC Sensation] totalundone:
I had one of these (link to dealextreme) for my X10i and it was a perfect fit. Currently my wife uses one on her HD7 and it's terrific. And you can't really beat the price.

The only dig I have with the oem dock is that it's too easy to pop out the phone. But I loved having the plug in the base.

edit: aaah, i checked out those ebay links. It looks the same except for the different suction holder. Well, the phone cradles on those, in my experience, have all been perfect.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
So you have the OEM dock? Can you put the phone into portrait without hitting the windshield?

Do you have pictures of the dealextreme mount? Saw those on ebay as well...
[HTC Sensation] totalundone:
Yup, I have the Sensation OEM car dock. I'm not sure on the windshield, I keep mine behind the gear lever (easier to swipe to change songs, car already has navi). I'll try on the windshield tomorrow and let you know.

I have the dealextreme mount for the HD7, I can take some photos of it with the HD7 if that's what you're asking?
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Yes, take pictures of both please! I used to keep my Droid mounted up near the mirror with the phone coming within reach of my fingers just off the steering wheel. This way if I did need to look at the phone, the road and traffic is still in the line of sight.
[HTC Sensation] serega12:
OEM for the win

I went with OEM after trying a Universal T-Mobile car mount they have at the store for $30 bucks, but my Sensation went flying off the windshield after the first tight turn I took together with that universal mount, so it didn't work for me. OEM works well so far, but after trying it mounted on the windshield (which worked well) I ended up putting it on the dash so it doesn't block the windshield at all while being within reach.

May I ask why you're only set on mounting it on the windshield?
[HTC Sensation] z31tt:
Homemade Mount

I actually made my own. I picked up a Garmin Nuvi mount off eBay. I dremeled the clips/tabs off to give a flat surface. Then I used industrial double sided tape to attach a cheap version of a Case Mate barely there cover. The setup works pretty good. I've never had the phone fall out or the mount come off.

I'll post some pics of it when I get the chance.
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
This the one I have works great with my sensation. Got it a year ago for $20 from best buy mobile.

http://www.amazon.ca/Windshield-Vent-Car-Mount-Smartphones/dp/B003SE6LD0
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Do you remember if it fit in portrait mode?

I am kind of in love with my car so I would never stick anything on the dash or heaven forbid drill holes haha.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Thanks for the suggestion but that kind of neck would definitely be shakey. Also, no hole for the camera. I would like to be able to take videos.
[HTC Sensation] ak29:
Its not shaky at all for me. Plus it comes with the vent add on so you dont have to use the neck with the windshield if you dont want. Also my phone is held in place by the sides so I can prop it up higher and use the camera if you like also. There are many options with this mount and can be used with many different devices and later on when you get another phone it will work that also. I used to use it for my desire and now I use it for my sensation. Ive also used it with a garmin and ipod touch. Not trying to tell sell it lol. Just saying you should check it out and give a proper run first before dismissing it.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Well if it's well done, then I would personally do it. But I mod my cars a bit as well, like my phone lol.....So I have no problems putting a drill bit to my dash :D
[HTC Sensation] totalundone:
Here it is in portrait. Here it is in the regular spot next to the deal extreme type of stand (for the HD7, similar size but it won't fit the sensation). Here it is horizontal.

In all the photos, the usb plug is on the bottom. The angle is a little steep, I think if I had rotated it and then adjusted it, it would have been ok. Adjusting it is pretty stiff so I don't like changing too much, lol.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Awesome, thanks for the pics man. Looks like it's not too bad with hitting the windshield. It'd be nice if it came out a little further though. I wonder how the dealextreme one goes on the windshield. That long neck doesn't bend right?
[HTC Sensation] serega12:
The silver neck on the OEM dock is extendable to get it further away from the glass if needed. Also, T-Mobile had our docks on sale as of a week or so ago in their stores for 39.99... Worth checking it out, they have a great return policy if it doesn't work for you. :D
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
How is the neck extendable?
[HTC Sensation] Shady Gambino:
I ride a motorcycle, but when I drive my girlfriends car I use an Arkon mount:

Mobile Grip Removeable Sticky Dash & Windshield Mount

It's the the best mount I've personally used, the holder is pretty slick and not stupidly huge. And since it's universal, you can use your case with it.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that this mount can also be used on the windshield. I'm also a fan of the MG120, it's the same holder with an 8.5" flexible neck: http://www.arkon.com/mobile-grip/mobile-grip-flexible-car-mount.html

[YOUTUBE]PsJ5alwniZo[/YOUTUBE]
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
I am leaning closer and closer to the Arkon MG114. It's got a long enough neck, you guys say it's good quality, and the big plus is it will work with future phones.

One thing I'm worried about. The little ears on the side, do they interfere with you using the phone? Do your fingers hit them? They seem a little intrusive.

If I could see these in my hands, this would long be over haha.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
What ears? You mean the sides that hold the phone in? No I can use the phone without an issue. All the ports are open, camera lens is free to snap pics or vids of crazy drivers lol, and the volume rockers can be accessed as well. The phone is in there securely but you can slowly push the phone up and down to adjust the phone while in the mount. I've had this for over 6 months in TX heat in my truck. Only thing is that the suction mount will give over time...I say about a month or so depending on how hot your local gets. But I have to preface that statement, with the way I am mounting it on my dash with the included dash mounting disk held on the dash.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Haha yea I think the crazy driver is me! Yea I'm just worried that let's say you want to place the cursor to the edge of the screen and can't cause the little arms are in the way of your fingers. (While parked of course...)
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
Well this is a pic with a Nillkin case with kickstand. Kinda like a barely there case. But that's neither here or there....

As you can see on the bottom, the ears fold out a bit and just barely goes over the screen. And the part that it does go over is not part of the touch screen anyway. Well unless you have chunky ass fingers LOL
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Thanks. The case pushes them out a bit (I don't use one) but I'll just have to buy it and try it ...

I know it won't go over the touch screen but to reach the edge with a touch, half the finger is over the edge isn't it?

One more thing. Does the phone realize it's docked? Is there some sort of magnet recognition? I don't use car home but I like how the screen wouldn't dim on my Droid (while charging) cause it could tell it was in a car mount even with Google car home uninstalled.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
The part that is over the screen per se, is not part of the touch screen it's actually part of the phone, if that makes sense. But because you don't have a case, it may go over it slightly. Like you said you'll need to test it. I love mine and use it every day.

No the phone does not recognize as being docked. Because there is no docking mechanism. Magnet recognition in my usage of docks, do not work. For example I have a Seidio dock and that dock auto docks the phone when only when plugged in. In my findings there are pins in the usb that make it go into dock mode, not magnets.

However, you can get it into dock mode if you use something like local, or what I use, Llama profiles. I can set up my phone to get into dock mode if I set the conditions to disconnect to my wifi networks, charging by usb and in landscape. If all those conditions are met, I will have my phone to connect to my bluetooth device and launch car home (or whatever I want). And when I reach my destination or my example, home, I have set conditions when I am connected to my home wifi (thats the triggering condition), then I will turn off my bluetooth and set my volumes to my normal set levels, and to kill the Car Home app.

It's a little more work than the OEM mount, but it works for me LOL.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Interesting. Yea, the docking on the Motorola Droid/Milestone was done through some sort of magnet in the mount. I can deal with the screen dimming, not a huge deal, especially at night.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
I was just about ready to order the Arkon MG114 off ebay, when I saw this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Arkon-MG001..._Accessories&hash=item53e84eee54#ht_705wt_952

...only the cradle part (MG001). They say the socket is 17mm, which is exactly what the ball of my old Motorola Milestone mount is! I emailed the seller for a picture of the back of this piece, so I can see if it would work with my old mount. Do you have a picture of how the ball enters this piece?

SIDE NOTE:

Check out the "mobile grip" cradle pictures here. Notice how in the second picture, the littler "arms" don't go back out? Is that an old version or something? Clearly picture 1 and 3 are what we are used to seeing.

try this one, Breffo Spider Podium.

I use it in my car and it works good. I can't use a dockin station because i use a case.
[HTC Sensation] Flyview:
Would seem to have the same problem as the OEM. Does it hit the windshield in portrait?

I'll look into it, thanks.
[HTC Sensation] ObiWan_C:
no, it does not hit the windshield in portrait. I some times use it that way and never had any problems.

[HTC Sensation] Shady Gambino:
They said the one without the little wings was an early version. The added the wings to make it easier to take out the phone. It's not a big deal imo, it works great.
