Not working

Hi, I have already rooted my tab. When I try to use Titanium backup or Root explorer, it says that I cant remove the app because it's read only.

On a lighter note, I hate how my name has been "censored" :eek:
[Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard] isolated_epidemic:
Interesting... Are you running a custom ROM, or stock? Second, when using Root Explorer, did you make sure to hit the itty bitty "Mount R/W" button at the top of the file list? Third, have you tried "freezing" the app with Titanium Backup instead of deleting, sometimes that works. Otherwise, you may have to try ADB to remove or rename the apk, or see if someone has a flashable zip for the custom maps apk you need.

Hello !!

I'm trying to get rid of these ugly smileys that are provided with the stock ROM.

(I'm on Arc S , .42 ROM)

I use the stock SE sms app.

I've modified my Framework-res.apk , and replaced the original SE smileys with the stock android ones (you know, these little bugdroids).

I've put back framework-res.apk in the correct folder (with root explorer), set the correct permissions, and rebooted my phone.

No bootloop or such problem.

BUT, i still get the original Sony Ericsson smileys....

I've checked again in my Framework-res.apk that is in the phone, and the simleys are the correct ones (i mean the little bugdroids).

What am i missing ? do i need to modify anything else ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey guys..I am just curious if we could use some port of Voodoo drivers which enhances the hearing by many times...please point me the link if it is already ported and useable...thank you so much in advance:D

As per my knowledge voodoo display drivers works only with AMOLED displays so we cant have it..

And LG used completely different sound drivers for OB which gives lot of trouble to developers in volume control so voodoo sound also cant be used on OB:( :p
[HTC Sensation] RoseRodent:
Does anyone else have a problem that if they use bluetooth audio connections with a satnav app that the start of each direction is clipped off. For example it will come in with "...nd exit" when the instruction is probably "At the roundabout, take the second exit". I keep getting instructions like "Yards" and "Exit" which are not very helpful. It's not a solution to leave it unconnected to the bluetooth because I'm partially deaf, I cannot hear it at all unless I blast it through the stereo. Every other bt connection is just fine, but the satnav always does this.

So far seems to be a problem with all of them, though HTC Locations I'm not sure what it does any more as I was trying some fixes and the license ran out, they refused to give me an extension to the trial period and I'm not paying for it until I know for sure it works. Google's Navigation does it for sure. It makes no difference if I use the stock voices or Ivona voice.

Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone have a fix? It's even helpful to hear that anyone else definitely doesn't have this problem so I know if it's a common thing or something unusual.

In case it helps, the car is a Citroen Grand C4 Picasso with the standard audio package that comes with the VTR+ UK model.

No need to worry. All MIUI roms have higher battery drain. If you are worried so much about the battery then you shouldnt be flashing these roms . Revert back to stock rom or any other custom rom which gives a decent battery life. Check the development thread. U'l find many.

So i want to buy a GNEX case (GSM, samsung extended battery)

but i was wondering if the gnex cases give any issues with the GPS. Because a friend of mine has an HTC sensation XE. And when he puts his case on his phone, the GPS starts to get really bad.

Does this also happens with the GNEXus?

PS: any case recomendations?

i think if its material is tpu or plastic it is fine just avoid metal case

i have 9 cases and have no problem with any of them on

Many of the other forums have this as a Sticky so that members can post apps they find essential to their phone experience. Why don't we?

We need one thread here, as (i think) most of us came from iphone/android phones...and dont know muuch about WP apps....I would really appreciate if everyone can share their must have apps for our phone
[Nokia Lumia 900] eknutson:

iLOL'd (decent humor sites)

[Nokia Lumia 900] hx4700 Killer:
I use 7 Pass for passwords because I can use the Desktop KeePass to make up and change the file and transfer to the phone. I get the dropbox integration but I have a REAL problem putting my secret, sensitive info out on storage that could be anywhere in the world including countries with less strict privacy and copyright policies. People have already been blackmailed with their secret info that was stored on cloud storage.

Apps I use:

7 - Pass

Weather channel app with live tile support. What I like most about the live tile integration they use is that it flips to a radar image and the current conditions and its free.

Built in Music Player

Camera App from Nokia: Creative Studio. The Build in panoramic feature is REALLY NICE and seemless.

eBay app

GasBuddy

Netflix

ShopSavy

Tango (The one from marketplace NOT labeled Nokia as it uses LTE not just WiFi)

Board Express

Newegg app (New I just started using it)
[Nokia Lumia 900] Seed 2.0:
I use Windows Phone News about 5 times a day. Doing so I have followed tips to new apps and games that I got for free in their opening trial runs. Many are a couple bucks to buy now, but I got them for free.

Send to WP7 (I use this everyday, allows you to send the webpage/file to you phone from your desktop, Chrome to Phone was its old name or name on android.)

SkyDrive (Connects you to your Skydrive account and the 26GB of storage it gives you)

ScoreMobile (All sports scores live and past)

YouTube Pro (Download/Upload/Store on/from phone HD videos from Youtube)

Lyrics (Great lyrics app)

8Tracks & Mixtapes (Community created music mixes, streaming, select)

TuneIn Radio(If a radio station streams, they probably have it.

WpFandora (Pandora Client, Beautiful design)

Translator (Bing, new update makes for a fun app Voice/Vision/Text input/output methods)

Thumba Photo Editor Best photo editing app I have used for windows phone)

Concerts (Find where your favorite band is playing next)

FastXDA (Read only app for XDA forums, but it is fast, real fast)

Image Map Plus (Shows where your pics were taken on a map.)

ARMED! (Fun game, probably best non Xbox live game, and really it should be.)

SpellShipTactics (Interactive game of chess'ish, don't just move pieces, but controll and upgrade them in space battles.)

Wordament (Boggle type word game, you vs the internet, you could be playing ~1,000 other people in a game that starts every 2.5 minutes, last 2 minutes)

I have used both scan apps. The thing I worry about with Bing is someone being shown to me because they paid bing to be at the top of the list (like google does).

I have used both and found that bing might be more complete on barcodes.

Not sure how to take that. Super Bowl ads that we see and sometimes love, go to the companies that pay for them. Nothing gets on the airwaves anymore with $$$.
[Nokia Lumia 900] AITT:
Run Keeper - Been using this for over a year and still feel this is the best Run Tracker on the market. Track run, calories burn, miles ran, weight loss and seamless integration to the website for charts, graphs and facebook sharing

Interval Timer - Create workout, interval / crossfit training, etc.

or

XTREME Tabata - Simple timer to track your tabata workout. Slick interface

WpFandora - 3rd Party Pandora app. Great 3rd party app.

or

Slacker Radio

Wiztiles - although limited due to restrictions, you can create custom tiles and have certian links. You can put a backside pic and text of the type of link

Wikitude - augmented browser

White Noise - Great sound machine for sleep or relaxation. Not as good as Android version, but still nice. Needs some polishing though.

PhotoFunia - Fun app to alter pics, put a face on a hockey player, become an astronaut, billboard, etc. Always a cool app for altering pics.

Pageonce - track all your bills, credit card payments and due dates in one site. Great tool for the money spender and procrastinators

Latitude Auto Update - Background service app that updates your latitude location for people who have accounts and like for friends and family to keep in touch with their location

gMaps - a decent alternative to get google maps. I really just use it for the Latitude function to track my friends and family since everyone still is on Android.

Flixster - Movie app like Fandango

ConnectivityShortcut - simple shortcuts to your Wifi, Bluetooth, Cell Data, and Airplane Mode. Creates tiles for them.

AnTuTu Benchmark - Benchmark testing

Creative Studio by Nokia - simple app for pics. Some filters, crops etc. I just use it for the panoramic feature. Works pretty good.

Flashlight 7 - flashlight

Vimeo - Vimeo video app. How there's not one for YouTube is beyond me :rolleyes: I'd like a dedicated app, not an app that links to the mobile site

Everything else has been pretty much mention

A couple that haven't been mentioned yet:

Adobe Reader

Though not essential, if you receive PDF files on your email and want to open them, you will need it.

Baconit

Mentioned before, but deserves way more recognition. Incredible and smooth experience to browse reddit. Highly recommend it.

Diagnostics

Not an app from the Marketplace, but very handy to have. Dial ##634# on your phone keypad and it will automatically download it. This app allows you to run a plethora of diagnostic tools on your phone, including screen color tests, vibration tests, camera flash test (eliminates the use of apps like Flashlight-X), battery status tests, and so on.

Flixster

A good alternative to the IMDB app. Has issues with using GPS though.

Whatsapp

Everyone knows this one. Cross-platform IM app. Uses data. Push notifications work fine, but alerts are not app specific, so if you have vibrate and/or ring enabled, you will receive an alert EVERY time someone messages you (can be a problem when having group chats). Push can be turned off within the app, but it sort of defeats the purpose if you won't know who messaged you until you open the app.

Wikipanda

[Acer Iconia A500] JohanA500:
Hello,

I am new here and hope to find an answer to a problem i have with my Acer A500.

I am very happy with this tablet but when i wanted to do some video call with Skype i notice than my front camera doesn't work.

I get a green screen with a lot of noise and sometime its like i see some of my icons of my home page but a lot bigger.

Does anybody have the same problem, i want to have it fix in the shop but only when i am certain it is a hardware problem.

I don't want to miss my tablet for several weeks.

A factory reset did not make any difference.
[Acer Iconia A500] chaosking121:
Hey, sorry to hear that your front cam isn't working. I haven't heard of any similar issues lately. What version of Android or ROM are you using? Are you rooted? Ever dropped your tablet or anything? And lastly, have you tried using the front cam in another app such as the stock camera app? It could be a problem with Skype.
[Acer Iconia A500] JohanA500:
Camera

I am using Android 3.2 and my tablet is not rooted.

I am very careful with the tablet and didn't drop it.

I read somewhere that sometimes the camera socket can come lose ?

The stock camera app also doesn't work.

So, many it is just a hardware problem and i should bring it back to have it fixed.
[Acer Iconia A500] pkaiser86:
Thats odd that you have that problem, because i have almost the same one, only thing is im rooted on cm9, and it does it on my rear facing camera....kinda something to think about
[Acer Iconia A500] JohanA500:
That's why i am not convinced that this is a hardware problem.

I am waiting for Android 4.0 to see if this will bring a sollution, if not i have no alternative than bring it back to the shop to have it repaired.

Maybe it is just a lose connector but it is strange that nobody has a sollution :confused:
[Acer Iconia A500] JohanA500:
Can anybody show me or tell me if i can check the connection with the front camera.

Is it easy to reach it when i open de back of the tablet.

Best and easiest thing to do is a factory restore, do that, and if it is still having the issue then send it in.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goku80:
it is not down to the rom mate it is down to if the developer of the rom has changed a few apks and framework to support it. so for example if you was to go in android development most of the roms there now are multi dpi anyways..if you was to install cm9 or any aokp roms you will find they are multi dpi..try wanam lite...that is one...anyways it is down to choice buddy and the only way you get to find out is by trying..but your best bet is cm9 or aokp or try wanam or foxhound for mdpi

Yea I know that mate, I am currently on slim rom but I am wanting to go back to sammy stock but I hate the dpi at 240, I've been running aosp roms at 182 for so long 240 looks huge lol.

Well ive tried a few different sammy roms and all that come with stock dialer all have the same problem, no one has seemed to have looked in to making them multi-dpi which is a real shame :/

I cant even find any information on the net to decompile the apk's and change them to work with different dpi

Shame, real shame.....

If you don't mind going back to GB, Hyperdroid is great and multi DPI compatible (once you download petsasj's modified touchwiz launcher, anyway)

Also I'm pretty sure doc (doctorcete, one of the hyperdroid devs) made a post somewhere on XDA on making apps multi dpi compatible. I know that the hyperdroid devs put a lot of time getting apps like the stock calendar to be multi DPI compatible.

I feel exactly the same. Nobody seems to care about dpi issues.

The only answer I have seen is 'use another dialer' which is insane to me, as SURELY someone has a stock dialer with dpi adjusting working correctly on an ICS stock rom.

Depends how badly having the dialer the way it is annoys you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipo123:
Hello guys. I've had the same problem with quite a few ROMs. But finally i found that changing DPI on my phone no matter the ROM its as easy as to editing a line of text on the "build.prop" file.

You have some options to change density on your device.

1./ The easiest and safest is. Get from market "LCDDensity for Root" its free. And changes the DPI "on the fly" and the change is not permanent it will revert on next reboot.

2./ As root user you can edit /system/build.prop look for " ro.sf.lcd_density=180" and change it to the value you feel comfortable and reboot

3./ If you don't want to mess with system files directly, on the market there's also free apps just look for "build.prop" editor

or last ... wait until your ROM developer include the feature.

I Hope this could help..
