You linked to your tweet about the Lost season finale. :p Was it good though?

Back on topic: yes vzw is pretty dumb. Told them my phone was having bugs like crashing and loudness when I was on 2.1 leak and they said it was because of a virus and wiped my phone.
[Desire General] vanja:
I am currently using MCR r2 ROM. All is fine, but I don't like HTC's phone app. Is it possible to put the stock phone app from the Nexus?

Thanks
[Desire General] deovferreira:
Please ask this kinds of questions in the general area, this has very few to do with development and we should keep this as a productive space.

In theory you could push the contacts apk, I read somewhere in this forum that someone did that.

could someone please inform me which manila files contain the graphics for the play/pause, previous and next control buttons? i would like to reskin these to something more in keeping with my theme. uploading the gtx versions of these files i would also find useful. thanks in advance.

Oh and also do you know the files for the track progress bar ( the green one) i want to turn this blue.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] delovelady:
I have been following XDA-Developers since the days of the SX66 (Blue Angel), and have enjoyed many ROMs and improvements that came along. But there seems to be a new paradigm now, with the whole 3D/HD capabilities, and I am getting lost in the jungle of terms, capabilities, nuances, et cetera.

I am trying to make sense of the application manager, start menu, programs - whatever the correct term is - for the Tilt2 with standard AT&T shipped ROM. I have added a few applications - some that are quite new and some that I've carried with me since the days of the early IPAQs (remember those?). But I'm lost when it comes to putting these programs in a place where I can find them, and using a good tool that will manage them. (I don't presently want to put on a new ROM until I figure out for myself what my needs are.)

For example, I installed Pocket Putty - the one intended for WM6.x. It works great! But I always have to search for it... and cannot seem to add it to any of the menus involved. I go to the Programs tab... I press + to add.. and it's not in the list of programs available. So I press the Start menu and I get a list - a different list - of programs available. Not there either. I have to either search for it or open it with Total Commander or other file tool. Why are these three separate lists? That is no less than three separate/distinct program lists, and they don't seem to interrelate. How can I properly manage/synchronize them, and what do I need to do to make programs appear in these lists?

I understand there's something called Sense and something called Manila involved. I don't really want to spend the rest of my life reading about these technologies before I get the chance to use them, but I do want to understand them well enough that I know what needs to be manipulated in order to accomplish some task.

Am I forever lost? Or is there a crash course? Or something else?

Lost in the jungle
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lennyz1988:
Make a shorcut of the program with total commander. Place the shortcut in your start menu >> programs. This way the program will show up in your start menu and you can add them in the programs tab.

And I thought that every program that shows up in your programs tab is somewhere to be found in your start menu :). Those two are linked if I am not mistaking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] delovelady:
That's certainly what I expected, too. But no. So experimenting with Pocket Putty as my example: I created the shortcut on \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. I renamed the shortcut from "htc-pocketputty.lnk" to "Pocket Putty.lnk". Now I have been able to add it to my Programs tab (THANK YOU for that!). But it is not in the Start Menu. There are plenty of mismatches like that. For example, the Windows Mobile folder is visible in Start Menu, not available as an app in Programs tab (I'd rather do that and use up about 4 less buttons). MSN Weather shows up in Add Programs but not on Start Menu. Et cetera.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctajay:
Hey guys, I've read intermittent pieces of advice so far, but I know I can't be the only person dealing with the fact that none of my paid apps are in the market. Is this dependent on the developer or is there something I need to do?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikey:
When froyos signature is added to the market, hang in there
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScaredyCat:
What does this mean?

Google have released an update before adding it's signature to the market?

Seems like an odd way to go about doing stuff to me.

Quite a few apps seem to be missing (drocap, Tower Raiders Gold)

SC
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
Plenty of paid apps on mine. Did you wipe before installing?

Lots of apps are marked 2.1 only by the devs.. until they get updates they won't show.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctajay:
Are the apps that you specifically paid for showing up, or just apps that you have to pay for overall?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
Both.. I have a long list of old apps that I bought ages ago and don't use any more, plus the usual collection of 'highlighted' new paid apps on the main screen.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
As far as I know Google didn't release the update. It was pushed to members of the press and employees at Google. I've yet to see any evidence that it was pushed to a significant portion of the customerbase.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctajay:
hmmm...I am pretty sure I wiped the data/cache/dalvik cache before I installed but I can try again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScaredyCat:
Do you have a "Top Paid" tab in the market? Mine doesn't (see attached pic)

SC
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
Yes. Same as 2.1, basically..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctajay:
Yeah I have the Top Paid category. But what's interesting is that when I wipe the device and reboot it, during the initial setup it restores all of the applications that I didn't pay for automatically. I have a feeling that maybe this is the issue, but I'm not sure how to turn that off.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyHoyle:
It's supposed to do that for all apps, but it's never worked for me.. I always have to pull them back with Titanium Backup.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctajay:
lol, thats interesting because it never did that for me before I updated to Froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScaredyCat:
That's one feature that's always worked really well for me.

SC
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j_r0dd:
i see my paid apps but they are an older version. for example MetaMorph only shows as version 1.9 when the current is 1.9.8.5
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixcoronas:
Most of my paid apps are there, but I am missing a few key ones. Docs to Go Key is a main one that I need.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScaredyCat:
What version of the market are you running then?

SC
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abbsta:
Same here. With all the ROMs (Stock or otherwise) that I've used I've always had to restore the apps using another program.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobdude5:
all the protected apps are gone..titanium backup is your friend :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctajay:
thats the wierd thing tho. When I tried to use titanium backup to restore my apps it said that it doesn't have root access. Did you have this problem on froyo?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scrog:
In titanium click on problem? Box and updatebusybox
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
Protected apps don't work in froyo. I'm missing MLB and NY Times. I was told by Google to wait for the official release. There is a work around where you make the market place think it's the 2.1 marketplace. But the directions were way over my head. I guess I'll just have to wait.

[Desire Themes and Apps] mardox:
since i sold my iphone to buy a desire there has only been one thing that i have missed having. and that is being able to stream video content from my pc over my home wifi network onto my phone. i did this with an app called air video on the iphone. it converted all video while streaming it so i could play my divx videos from pc onto my phone anywhere in range of my wifi network without having to convert them first.

is there anything that lets me do this for android?
[Desire Themes and Apps] Phil750123:
Gmote 2.0 will do this for you :)

Be warned need to have the right player for the file extension.

i.e. cant play .avi files as android doesnt have a good player etc..
[Desire Themes and Apps] acolwill:
I do this using stock apps on my phone, and a simple webserver on the other end.

I've done this with relative ease...

Any modern webserver with directory browsing enabled (IIS7/Apache)

Ability to modify/add content types within the webserver

Local cache of h264 or 3gp media (i.e. streamable)

Browse to movie using any browser on your Desire and stream over WiFi

** Addition **

IIS7 (possible with Apache as well)

ICYBOX IB-NAS4220B (Any SMB/NFS/CIFS NAS Box will work)

Directory browsing enabled

Symbolic Link (Virtual Directory) to NAS box share over LAN

Browse to movie using any browser on your Desire and stream over WiFi

If you need a hand attempting this, chuck me a PM...

p.s. If you're running a windoze box, then you have IIS already.
[Desire Themes and Apps] j_simon208:
use TVersity on your computer..and then you can just point your phone to the given IP address..save it as a bookmark in your phones browser... or shortcut

[Desire Themes and Apps] dexteral:
use androstream or vlc stream and convert
[Desire Themes and Apps] affmalg:
Well the best and easiest way i figured out, was making the movie folder accessible to the Network and connect to the folder through the Cifsmanager. As player I use pLayer, which is really the best player for Android.
[Desire Themes and Apps] eprpicdavey:
You could always try VLC-Shares.

It does have a fair amount of setup though.

[Desire Themes and Apps] MrNago:
This might be dead already, but try Vplayer.
[Desire Themes and Apps] smeddy:
As affmalg, CifsPlayer, then browse your network files as if they were on your phone = so simple

How do you set this up?

Can't connect via PIN and local network. :/

Edit - Got it working. My firewall was blocking access.
[Desire Themes and Apps] dazandsun:
A simple solution that worked for me was was using ES File Explorer (free), choose LAN from dropdown (top left), add new server, scan - it should then pick up your shared network.

Then navigate to your chosen movie, play with moboplayer. Voila.

If it doesn't play straight away make sure moboplayer is set to soft decoder.

Sometimes you may have to press and hold your movie icon, open as video, choose moboplayer.

I tried a number of these suggestions but for me the best was a combination of the pc server and android client from http://www.emitapp.com

also want to be able to stream

got a lot of series and movies on the pc,

want to be able to stream to my android (samsung galaxy s2 device)

would like to be able to stream both thru LAN (wifi) at home,

but also thru the 3G-connection on my phone (no worry, i have unlimited data)

most movies are in 720p (bluray) and some regular series.

my pc at home are ofcourse hooked up to my home-network / internet.

advice would be appreciated!

thanks! :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] beartiger:
The best option I have seen for 3g streaming is EMIT. The client is available on the market and the server from emitapp.com. Run the server on the PC and the client app on the droid, simple as that :-)

If you are at home and over wifi, you may prefer something like CIFS manager set to a network shhare and MX Video Player (with appropriate handset specific codecs which the app will advise if needed) but EMIT works well on local network as well.

EMIT will also transcode on the fly OR transcode to a new file available to download locally to the device for offline viewing, AND IT IS FREE (unless you want the add free version) and ad-supported, which will give you x many add free views for each add clicked.

PS3 Media Server

I've been using PS3 media server successfully for a while now. Transcodes on the fly and I use UPnPPlay and Rock Player Lite on my Android devices to view.

I can stream to my Desire, Xoom, TV and PS3 without a problem, all from the same server which is what I was really looking for :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] TRacer:
I also just switched over from iOS and the only thing missing was AirVideo. After searching through 30+ apps, I have found that Skifta works perfectly. Just download and install it on your PC, point the program to where your media is located, start the service. And you should be able to connect to it through your local network with the Skifta app on Android.

I have used this on my AT&T Galaxy Note with ease for a couple of days now.
[Desire Themes and Apps] clorid:
You can download the ES File Explorer and if you setup your lan, than you can play it everything on your phone using WiFi. Of course you have to download a right player too. I am recommending the Mobo player, because it has a soft decoding option so it's very smooth. Simple and to the point.
[Desire Themes and Apps] PurpleRob:
I use Skifta, on my phone and tablet, it works flawlessly on both with minimal/easy setup.

Just curiosity: Are people that are reporting "bugs" (though to me it sounds like apps that need to be updated for full compatibility with Froyo) running the OTA updated 2.2, or manually updated 2.2?

Edit: Changed name to Froyo(HACK) as recommended by someone since no one seems to be running a genuine OTA updated Froyo :p
[Nexus One General] wmm:
Manually-updated using the official signed update from Google, for me. I don't have most of the bugs that have been reported here; the only one I'm currently aware of is that two applications I updated via the market this morning are no longer shown in the "Downloads" list, although they are labeled as "installed" when I search for them in the market. Other than that, no problems here.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
No one on the entirety of XDA has upgraded via the OTA update. Everyone hacked. :D

(The OTA was press-only for people who attended Google I/O.)
[Nexus One General] crackness:
Ahhh.... I thought that was only speculation :/

[Nexus One General] logger:
Exactly.. About time more people acknowledged this.
[Nexus One General] Amdathlonuk:
I understand what you're saying.

However Google have released an OTA update to the MEDIA!

They'll grab this with both hands and show how the NEW messiah has fallen over again and how we should have all bought iPhones.....

I do believe this Froyo is HIGHLY unpolished and very dissapointing. It should have been released when it was fully ready.

I think I'll just wait for the official Google OTA.

Good thing that people around here are chasing up all the last minute bugs for Google though. I am sure they would prefer to see them now rather than after releasing it to the general public.
[Nexus One General] punk4bc:
good point lol :p

I'm waiting for the official Google too :cool:
[Nexus One General] ibegary:
Yeah I updated with Paul's version and I would have stayed on froyo but having annoying camera bugs.

I dont think Google meant this as an actual release since you Market isn't allowing protected apps etc with the froyo fingerprint. etc.

So i'm back on Cyan and all is well with the world.

I did however keep the newer radio to test it out.
[Nexus One General] logger:
It would be great if someone around here could change EVERY thread title that mentions this version to FROYOHACK so that once the real official one is released, we dont have to wade through all this pre-release BS. I know it is not possible but just thought.
[Nexus One General] punk4bc:
What were your camera bugs?

I did Paul's too and mine worked 100%. Still have the new radio and according to speed tests it is doing better than the old one :cool:
[Nexus One General] ibegary:
I've posted it in the general forum. QIK app didn't work and if you use the stock camera app and slide to the camcorder then BACK to the camera, N1 would crash.

I posted the logcat and it appears there are some incompatibilities somewhere deep. I tried every kind of wipe and 'band-aid' that I could to get it working and failed miserably.

But I figured since i'm on an AT&T N1 that this release wasn't intended for me and there must be some kind of subtle differences.

*shrug* we'll see.

[Nexus One General] crackness:
Hah, as OP, I changed it. I didn't realize (though I had read it somewhere else) that the only people who got the OTA update were press/developers who went to I/O.

FOR THOSE JUST READING NOW: According to Paul (and where ever else I read online), anyone else with Froyo updated manually, so take current issues with a grain of salt.

The FM radio stuff was never announced OFFICIALLY. I do remember it being something rumored, but I don't ever remember Google saying it was an addition to Froyo. AND, even if it was announced, read my reiteration above about no normal consumers having the Official OTA update to Froyo.
