[Dash 3G, Snap General] HTC-OH_SNAP:
So... On my last phone, a Moto Q, I had a memory management type tool that allowed me to see the used/un-used storage for both the internal memory and storage card. However on this phone, the Snap for VZW there either isnt such a tool or I a too dim-witted to find it.

Anyone know if there is such a tool/app for the Snap or is there a 3rd party app that I can install?

whats up everybody? i was wondering is there an application that will have your favorite teams schedule and box score at the end of game. thx in advance
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] TheCleaner:
Title sounds confusing but here's what I'm looking for.

Currently running a 6.1 ROM, but could run any rom in the dev forum...whatever works best.

I only care about 4 things on the Today screen:

-Time

-Outlook Email and Texts

-Calls

-Calendar

Is there a way to consolidate a Today screen down to only show these things in a nice crisp fashion? Anyone have any examples?

2nd - is there a way (or maybe a nice app) that has a crisper font and look/feel than the normal email views? I can make the fonts smaller and that helps get more on the screen, but I like the Blackberry and iPhone look for email better.

Basically, I'm looking for something that a "corporate IT guy" would use.

Any ideas or help is appreciated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] crissg:
A couple of ways

You know you can choose what to display on your Toady screen in Settings/today, right? Disable everthing except what you want to see. I'm pretty sure that's the easiest way to do what you are describing.

As far as a crisp clean look goes, check out any of the manila threads. Or you could hop over to pointui.com. Thay have a Lite version you can try for free, and it is very customizable as well.

Do not quote me on this.. but.. I think you can set language on HTC_IME that comes with Cyan's rom. I personally don't use it but when I did I could set it to russian in the settings just fine. Try it, you're not loosing anything. Your predictions though are in separate file and I'm not sure what that file is... something along the lines of userdictionary.db , you may have to pull that out of hero.

Good luck

[General Topics] sunxh163:
I had alarm and reminder issue for a long time with WM6.1.

if the phone is in stand-by mode, the alarm will not wake up, nor does reminders. I tried menmaid, doesn't help, my notification queue is not long at all. Then I had to do a master-reset to get my alarm work again.

But just yesterday, I found if I turn off the "voice commend" feature on my phone, the alarm again would not work from standby mode. But if I enabled the "voice commend" feature, the alarm started to work properly again.

Not sure if this will work for others if they had the same alarm and notification issue. But it worths a try if Menmaid or other ways on internet turns out not help.

Sort of like how you can export your notes on AKNotepad.

You just said it right there. Just try copying the whole text and paste it into AKNotepad. Then you should be able to export it from there.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtybadger:
I'm so with you on this one...I've added Twidroid and turned off Peep but would love to completely delete it in order to avoid any conflicts. Also the default messaging program is a bit of a dog when compared to Handcent SMS.

There used to be a way on the WinMo 6 phones to change the registry values to allow deletion of TouchFlo UI programs but I've not been able to find anything online yet. Maybe it's too early in the phone's life for anyone to have cracked this.

At the moment, the only thing I can do is to make sure that notifications from default programs that I have replaced with better ones are turned off so that they only come from the new software.

I realise this doesn't help you (or me) very much but I'd pay good money to have an add/remove program that works on the default apps (ASTRO, Appmanager and OI File Manager do not seem to be able to access the default programs for uninstallation).

Does anyone with modding experience (obviously I don't ;D) have any suggestions on how to achieve this?

I've had some success with Root Explorer - I've successfully removed the stocks app and the stocks widget.

Big pointer before you start on removing default or stock Rom apps is to MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!! You can do this by booting the temporary Recovery image from the rooting thread here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543571

That way, if you do mess up, you can restore the Nandroid Backup.

Just ask Auntie Dayzee (BTW I wish I was this sensible with other stuff in my life!! LOL)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhedgehog:
had success using Paul's method on Modaco...all credit to him in my case.

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-hero-hero-modaco-com/291521/if-you-want-to-remove-htc-sync/

Used a file explorer (astro in my case) to view the folder /system/app so that i could see what needed to be removed, but am now happily without Peep, Learn More, Stocks,HTC Sync, Mail etc.

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/xxxxxx

replace xxxxxx with the app you want to remove

HTC Sync - PCSCII*

HTC Stocks and Widget - *Stock*

Peep - *Twit*

Learn More - Learn*

Footprints - *Foot*

Mail - HtcMail*

there's plenty of others in there as well if you have a look. Just be sure to be careful what you delete, and remember that the app names are case sensitive.

The rooted 2.73 rom from Modaco works fine with this command, and i expect the Modaco custom roms will as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweedeldee:
I used a similar method to get rid of some HTC app which kept bugging me since I upgraded to the new ROM (Peep, Stock, etc), works perfectly and no problem so far.

It's pretty straightforward, even for a newb like me, but if anyone is interested in the steps I followed :

0- Before doing anything that can mess up your phone, it's recommended to do a nandroid backup.

I'll explain how to backup each removed app individually, but we're never cautious enough !

1- Load the recovery image and mount the system:

fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img
adb shell mount /system

2- Get the list of app installed, spot the files you want to delete

adb shell ls /system/app/

3.a - First alternative : Backup on SDcard and delete

Mount sdcard.

Create a folder saveHtcApp.

Move (copy + delete in one go ! ) files from system/app to saveHtcApp

adb shell mount /sdcard
adb shell mkdir /sdcard/saveHtcApp
adb mv /system/app/Stock.apk /sdcard/saveHtcApp
adb mv /system/app/Stock.odex /sdcard/saveHtcApp
adb mv /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk /sdcard/saveHtcApp
adb mv /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.odex /sdcard/saveHtcApp

Then check that all worked right by doing some ls (Yeah, I'm found of double-checking)

adb shell ls /sdcard/saveHtcApp
adb shell ls /system/app/

3.b - Second Alternative : (don't do it after 3.a !) Backup on Computer and delete.

(on Windows, I assume Linux's folks won't need explanations to do the same on linux.)

Create a folder saveHtcApp : in the following example, in the working directory.

(Of course, you can make it anywhere, but it make the path smaller to work on working directory... and move the save folder afterwards)

Then pull (copy) the files from the phone to the computer.

Just to make sure, a little dir to see that all files were actually copied on the computer.

mkdir saveHtcApp
adb pull /system/app/Stock.apk ./saveHtcApp
adb pull /system/app/Stock.odex ./saveHtcApp
adb pull /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk ./saveHtcApp
adb pull /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.odex ./saveHtcApp
dir

Then, delete them :

adb shell rm /system/app/Stock.odex
adb shell rm /system/app/Stock.apk
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.odex
adb shell rm /system/app/com.htc.StockWidget.apk

4 - Reboot the device ! :)

Hope that could help someone.

Brill stuff - I'm rubbish at the coding stuff - where does this back the apps up to? and what does the dot do? and if its pulling to the PC, does the slash have to go the other way?

Good question, I should have explain that a little

I'll update my previous post.

For the slash-thing... I'm always switching from windows to linux to windows, so I'm always confused between which slash use.

When I have issue with /, I try with \.

BTW, in the present case, I run all those lines on Windows 7 without any issue.

I didn't knew what was an odex file either, so I googled it :

http://groups.google.com/group/android-framework/browse_thread/thread/70ee61a240edc84a?pli=1

I backuped them too, just in case...

For the suggestion, the list to remove is pretty simple : anything you don't use at all.

As long as you keep the backups, there shouldn't be any problem to put them back if there is any issue.

Of course, any app used by other apps must stay on the phone.

I removed :

Stock

Peep

Footprints

Tutorial

HTC Sync

-2- remove and replace htc's crapware apps (maybe this thread is part 2)
