I have successfully set up my Droid for Sip calls both in and out. I am using sip2sip.info as my provider. The voicemail messages states something like "Box number 1000000 is not avialable now" then allows for a message (though unless you know you can leave a message it is unclear. The instructions on the site say to dial *70 to find voicemail options (and I would think there I could change this) but when I try dialing *70 the call won't go through. Can someone help me with this - do I have to enter something before the *70? I am dialing it from the Droid. Oops forgot to mention I am using Sipdroid on the phone.

I am sorry if I am posting this question to the wrong place, but I found a posting on this site that was excellent in helping me set up my Droid to use sip2sip, pbxes and ipkall so hopefully someone can help with this.

Thanks

I was messing around with my phone trying to get my gmail contacts organized and I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates, so I went to Manage applications and wiped People and Contacts storage and then synced with google again.

Now when I go to People > Groups > Menu

All I see is Add group and Delete group. My Sync groups option is missing... so I can't de-select All Contacts.

Not sure how or why this happened... but I can't for the life of me get the Sync Groups option to come back in the People app.

I'm running Fresh .6 rom and I flashed the Optimized apk's (the ones edited w/ ZipAlign)

Any ideas?

EDIT: I fixed my problem by doing a nandroid restore which took me back to fresh .4 then I flashed fresh .6 again and all is well.. no duplicates in the people app anymore and my sync groups option is back in People > Groups > Menu

Hello All,

I was hoping if anyone can post their experiences using thier emulator apps.

Been using 'Gameboid' for a few days now. Im pretty impressed it runs the games it does. Sound syncing is not 100 percent but doable or you can even turn off your sound. I can confirm Advance Wars works VERY well and is a must have if you use the program. I am overall satisfied with it and hopefully will continue to see more compatibility with more updates.

**PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY GAME DOWNLOAD SITES AS THIS THREAD MAY BE SUBJECT TO CLOSE IF YOU DO SO... Thank you.

I use Snesoid religiously. Love it.
[G1 Apps and Games] davidesatta:
i use gameboid and snes emulator regulary buyed.

snes go well, you can play but without sound because it eat more resources.

gameboid go, but it's a little bit slow, and it's a problem when you play games like micro machines, mario etc because you have to take an immediately responce, and you don't have it

i use a dream with cyanogen mod 4.2.5

Just got Snesoid yesterday and have used it for Link. Ill post my thoughts on it once I use it for a few days.

Theres a Genesis emulator out there too but I havent used it yet..

Hoping theres a few more people out there that can offer us more reviews on these apps.

There will NEVER be a game that will be an Android game as elaborate as a SNES, GBA and or NES one.. never.......
[G1 Apps and Games] grindking:
nes, genesis, snes, and gameboid emulators all work great, i've played quite a few games on all of them. scummvm is another great emulator (of sorts) and i've been playing return to zork, discworld series, 7th guest and beneath a steel sky with them.

still excited about gaming on this platform and it will only become better in the future.
[G1 Apps and Games] Cybrasty:
If you like point & click games and missed out on many oldschool classic (or, wth, even want to play them again) i would recomend scumm. It works great on android device, especially if you have a trackball (kinda slugish it is, but for precise aming - priceless)

I've read about Android Arcade Emulator (capcom, neo-geo arcade games) but I'm not using it (those games where made for playing with mates - kinda hard on small device :p), apparently it runs the more famous games without lag.
[G1 Apps and Games] rastacre:
I also use gameboid. works great.

I just got gameboid, got the bios and everything, but when I go to play any game, it takes a second then force quits.

Im running Cyanogenmod 4.2.7.1,, or whichever is the newest one. Any help?
[G1 Apps and Games] legend221:
It depends on which game it is, its not 100 percent compatible yet. Also make sure the bios file is not compressed by any programs (ex. winrar, winzip and or power archiver)

Ive downloaded some games that force closes it as well. What I did was simply delete the game and threw another one into the SD card.

Report back and let me know your results and we can both figure out another solution if you cant play another game..
[G1 Apps and Games] phantomzer0:
The best emulator out right now is ggNES. It runs NES games at full speed with sound on. No slow down, no errors, just perfect.

I like the xxxoid emulators, but the app author isn't making them run more efficiently, he's adding other stuff. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he's even updating, but full speed emulation can be done, and ggNES had a free version to boot.
[G1 Apps and Games] legend221:
ggNES is a definite download and is running great on my G1.

Time to play Bionic Commando and kill me some Hitler:

[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Issue is, While RPGs and Tactic based games. (Yes I love advance wars) Are great on the emulators. Games like Star Sigma etc are harder.. even mario is hard. Seems action games are just harder to manage that fast paced stuff on the emulators. Anyone else notice that?

Or have they got better? Curious about the snes one tho if that runs smooth.

Edit: Just read others.. I agree I use gbaroid and nesroid and while the dev makes updates.. the speed seems to be the complaint.. but I really dont wanna buy ggnes just for speed after I paid for one.. heh..
[G1 Apps and Games] legend221:
ggNES is currently the best at playing Nes roms. Try the ggNES lite and see how it works out for you, if you like it why not buy it?

Snesoid runs good at least on my phone. Its also dependent on how many apps are using up your memory. Get Advanced Task Manager to fix that problem prior to using any emulator.
[G1 Apps and Games] Mysticales:
Ok Ill give it a shot. I use Taskiller pro personally. Works well I think. Unless you know something works better? Advanced Task Manager I have as well.

Maybe its decent enough to play River City Ransom. =)
[G1 Apps and Games] legend221:
There are alot of programs similar to Advanced Task Manager, yours is one of them. As long as they close unused programs it should be fine.

Hopefully you see improvement running River City with the Emulator change. Let us know how it went..
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
Well since complaining is fine....

POST COMPLAINTS HERE BUT WITHOUT THE LANGUAGE!!!!!

Then it wont get deleted!

:D

Ill go first:

I Hate the way android and windows mobile combine!

I hate the new move!

It was dumb because the original one was fine! and i was on it since the beginning!

now i gotta add more bookmarks where as all i had before was one for it all:

Dream - That was all i needed... it seems to clutter my part up now and that stinks! lol

Complaint away!!! lol
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Well like I said, there was no point in keeping all the themes seperate when they, so far, work on any device.

As for having a hard time finding them, you just need to have your theme dev label his thread correctly to help you sort through them.

People always hate change, no surprise :)
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
they DID label them before the move and they do not run on any device lol
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Yes they run on any rooted phone with the appropriate rom loaded.

:)
[Android Themes] dying4004:
my dear bro. i tried 10 themes from dream and sapphire and not a single of them run in my european hero. i had to do nandroid restore in every case.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
Like I said, youd have to be running those roms :)

but your phone is capable of running them. If your running a hero rom, then look for the themes marked Hero.

If your running cm rom, look for any g1/mytouch theme....

Stericson
[Android Themes] dying4004:
in that case i will have to look for hero rom as i have hero and in here i see 100 of themes in them only 10 for hero. dont u think this is difficult to search for these?

and if there is a quation of rom compatibility then how come u r saying every theme will run in every phone?

and 1 more thing... its not that i will leave this forum if u keep theme section like this but the thing is that maximum users are complaining this new system. this forum is for the users and if max users complain about this then whats the point of keeping it?

cheers man.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
A phone is strictly a piece of hardware, and any rooted phone, with the appropriate rom(software) loaded, can run any of these themes.

And yes there are only about 10 hero roms, there are not many of them.

And no I dont find it difficult, as I've looked on the first two pages and found them, clearly marked with "Hero"

Stericson
[Android Themes] Mi|enko:
Stericson, I completely see your point about the merging of the theme areas. I have a MyTouch and browsed the Dream Theme area regularly (and almost never visited the Magic Theme area). While this does lead to a certain bit of confusion by putting everything in the same area (just as the Magic 32a/b rom differentiation gets confusing). Would it be possible that when a dev posts their rom, have all of the rom details in the first post, and all of the supported themes in the 2nd post? Granted, this would probably cause alot of work on everybody's part, but it would make our whole environment better as everything corresponding to a rom would be in a single place.

Now, I know what you're thinking. With this, we'd have to worry about the clutter in the Dev forums; however, what about breaking up the Dev forum to have it be strictly a place for Dev's to work and brainstorm, then setup a seperate area strictly for releases/contributions. I don't know, just an idea.

Ps. For an example of the 1st post Rom, 2nd post Themes, check this out by Enomther. A couple people got posts in between his, but you get the idea.

[Android Themes] ratcom:
If only life was that simple

Sorry but this statement is simply not true. A theme designed for the same hero rom running on both the dream and hero will NOT run on both. A good example is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=572151 I also think its very clear that the mass majority of htc "android" users are against this move, whats more is that a simply poll on each android themes section would of made this clear and could of avoided the trouble we android users now face.

Oh and I DO understand that clearly labelled post could avoid any problems but that fact remains that most if not all themes moved are not labelled with there device name included.
[Android Themes] FormelLMS:
I make Themes for Hero. I don't think they work on any other device.

For every ROM you must change anything/many things.

No, guys, so I didn't want to use this section to release my themes.

It's hard work.

In the forum "HTC Hero THEMES and Apps" there must be this themes placed...

Give me one of the themes in this new section, that works on an Hero!

Thats completely.....ouhhh!

If I can spell english so good as german I could better explain, what I mean.
[Android Themes] srt4mn:
Putting all the themes for "Android" was a bad idea. Plain and simple.

Your argument would hold if there was a Cyanogen ROM that COULD be used on the Hero, which there isn't.

I don't know who's bright idea it was to put all the android themes together, but it did not help in any way, no matter how much you argue.
[Android Themes] AGx-07_162:
Well consider the fact that not every (and probably no) developer is going to have every Android device and therefor cant test and verify that their theme runs on whatever device. Even if they are all running the same rom you are asking us to assume that they will work for any device with a compatible rom. I dont think that will be the case honestly. But either way, it still begs the case of organization. It would still be more organized to have sub-forums for things like themes on a device to device basis and if the dev finds that their theme works for different devices and chooses to add a thread under another devices themes forum that should be their choice.

There is a reason that personal computers group system sounds in a system folder and give you the option to store your music in a different place. Its more organized!
[Android Themes] skulkiller:
Well putting all the android thems to gether has just made it a huge mess ...

Instead of having a nice overview i need to go search for themes and i will miss new themes this way :(

Place restore the android theme sections as they where so a seperate theme section for every device.
[Android Themes] RandumAccess:
anyone else notice the contradictions that happened when stericson talks???

HAHA

you are in a battle with your own statements, which in my opinion... do not make sense when put together cause they say 2 different things lol
[Android Themes] Ryanmo5:
If I have to add another bookmark its no big deal. The g1 theme section is a mess either way because of all the different builds out for the g1. I was gonna suggest that they make submenu's for different builds such as cyanogen, dwang, hero etc. Either way its no biggie to me.
[Android Themes] c-tang:
Said it before say it again.. Went from working and clean to cluttered and not working so well. Dont know why they wont change it back as I have not seen anyone who likes it better this way. Thought the whole reason for a fourm is to see what the people like and want.... well its pretty clear what we all want we want it to be the way it was. it was working just fine...
[Android Themes] ratcom:
So let me get this right..... the old dream theme section was a mess and could of benefited from splitting into even more sub sections but now that 3 different devices theme section have been merged to make a bigger mess.... its no biggie?!

Sorry you really have lost me with that one....
[Android Themes] Stericson:
If I put this rom on my G1 then yes it will run on my phone. I know very well how themes work and the limitations provided by them.

For now, we will move the hero themes back.

[Android Themes] kron2:
looks like I have to repost my opinion on combining the android themes. My biggest gripe is there is alot of phones on this site that get no traffic or hardly no traffic that could be set up like the smart phone section and just sticky the individual sections they have now. then when the time comes combine the Android themes. As time goes on more and more android phones will not be able to share the same themes. By the way reading though the posts that last one was locked because of swearing, I don't see it, looks to me like it was deleted.nice to see hero moved back
[Android Themes] Mikey:
So what other complains do you guys have???

I am starting to place links in the wiki to specific threads.....Wallpapers, home screen, etc.

It would be nice and more organized by themers if they take some time to add your name(s) Theme name and what rom it is made for.

This will be helpful for people that enjoy themes by author.

Just a suggestion.

Wiki link in the pinned thread
[Android Themes] Ryanmo5:
I was talking about splitting the new section into submenu's

Android Themes

Submenu's

Hero

Dream/G1

MT3G

and so on
[Android Themes] ratcom:
Ohh that makes sense I get it now, good idea !
[Android Themes] Ryanmo5:
I should have explained a little better on the first post :)
[Android Themes] sykopompos:
I know that my blinded by faith works great on a g1 but it does not worked with the skinned g1 google apps on a 32a, it will cause gApp fc and since I do not have a tester with a 32a I am unable to make a version that I know works so therefore I won't. The general theme works if it has subsections for if the are compatible with g1/32a and 32b, if they work with all three than fine but a lot of them don't. So atm I think this move was a horrible move because it was not well thought out in advance
[Android Themes] B-man007:
Same thing. Since Cyanogen's ROM is not 100% complete (because of the lack of Google Apps) people running CyanogenMod could be running on completely different bases.

The Magic and the G1 have different ADP recovery images that have to be used, and due to different signatures being used within those images, a lot of incompatibility arises with themes that have google app's themed as well. Not only that, but if a themer only has a certain phone, they are only able to test on that particular phone. This would be ok if it was in the appropriate phone subforum, but by moving it to general, you are extending the support that the themer has to put out to other phones which they may have no knowledge of.

By allowing the themer to post in the appropriate phone section, the themer effectively says that "if i made my theme for this phone, its guaranteed to work on this phone alone. if it does work on your phone, great. if not, too bad"

However, putting it in the general section means that it is now on the themers plate to support other phones as well and take more time in finding out why it wont work on a particular phone.

I did not see any of the cluttering you were referring to other than people posting in the wrong subforum to get more views. But you do not jail an entire city block because some people were not following the rules.

This allow applies backward from Magic themes to G1. Unless you have the .2005 on the G1, your internal memory on the system partition is seriously limited. A slight increase in size due to theming system apps can cause it to bootloop on the G1 but not the Magic.
[Android Themes] Stericson:
You do realize that of the themes listed here only "2" of theme were posted in the sapphire theme dev section?

The rest were in the dream theme section. So how is this any different may I ask?

I know quite a bit about themes, I should seeing as how I was the first one to figure out how to theme our phones and I have led the way in advancements for theming the android platform, that being said I wish people would stop trying to come at me as if I didn't know what I was talking about.

Stericson
[Android Themes] B-man007:
I know you were the first one to theme. I can read and I already saw your posts on some other forum when you made your discovery (as well as over here) -_-

I'm not coming at you, nor am I saying you don't know what your talking about. This wasn't directed at you, it was directed as a public, and I'm bringing them up to date. I like to be descriptive with my post because some people like to make comments and leave everyone wondering wtf your talking about. I'm just saying that not all G1 themes will be compatible with the Magic.

If this was the case, then why aren't G1/Magic ROM's in here too with their own subforum? Because themes are made for certain ROM's, and ROM's are made for certain phones. If the theme is capable of being multi-phoned, then the ROM that it was built for should be as well.

If your going to do it with themes....why hasn't it been done with the ROM's

NOTE: I AM NOT SUGGESTING YOU DO THAT! I LIKE IT THE WAY IT IS!
[Android Themes] Stericson:
themes are capable of being multi-phoned, and so are roms.

A hero rom can be run on a dream.

A cliq rom can be run on a dream.

A sapphire rom can be run on a dream.

in the same manner, all themes made for those roms, can be run on a dream.

:)

Roms wont be thrown into a general forum because ROM DEVELOPMENT is very specific to the device your working on and present different problems and challenges. Making themes doesnt, theme development is the same across the board.

Stericson
[Android Themes] B-man007:
keywords:

The ROM development of those ROM's are for very specific devices like you said. Therefore, the themes made for the ROM would follow the same rules. Also, a Hero ROM cannot be run on G1 OOB, a lot of modification must be made in order for it to work (specifically due to space restraints)

A theme with your lockscreen compiled against Cyan 4.2.5 would not work on any ROM other than Cyan. As such, theme development can be very ROM specific.

Making a theme may be the same across the board, but compatibility isn't. Its works the same way with ROM's. ROM's have to be modified for specific hardware, while themes have to modify those modified ROM's

This section is more apt suited for things like your metamorphosis project which can work across all devices without any issue and for things like theming home replacements
[Android Themes] Stericson:
I know plenty of people that run hero roms, heck we were running hero roms on our G1's before the device was even released.

And no, I hate to disagree, the development of themes for roms do not follow device specific rules. It stays the same, unzip the apks, change out the images, zip then back up and place them back on the phone, that simple. (With the exception of certain XML hacks)

Here are the facts:

Almost ALL of the themes posted her cam from one section, so moving them from there to here there is no difference, So you have no case here.

2nd, In that one section, the dream theme section, we had a multitude of different themes for different roms, including motoblur, hero roms, droid roms, cyanogen roms, etc. Here in this section it is no different. So you have no case here either.

Finally, While these themes where all in the section before noone complained. The fact is people hate change and everytime they have to do something different there surely will be a group of people that will complain about it.

I have spoken to several people, including themers, that are happy about this change.

The point is that this is the way it is, your arguments have no point and you are going around in a circle with them. Unless you have new information, or new arguments regarding this then I will not discuss it any further.

I am sorry you are not happy about the change, but in life we don't always get to have everything we want, if we did I'd be a millionare driving a bugatti and owning a house with some thousands of acres....we dont always get what we want.
