my issue about contact picture:

I've link my phone contact with facebook. i've set my facebook to auto sync. it works well syncing event & updates & contact picture of my contact but when my friends changed the profile pic on their facebook, my desire won't change the contact picture according to their facebook profile pic.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Have you tried cropping them and then uploading to Facebook? Might then appear properly and not be truncated.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogershroed1991:
Yeah mine doesn't update either. It just shows the original picture it downloaded from the first time it synced them, and it never updates if they change them.

I'm talking about my friends' pictures, not mine.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mrinehart93:
+1 for Startup Manager. Only thing I don't like about SM, is that it starts up on boot too. I looked at the commands it was running as SU though, and it made me think that I could just uninstall it and the changes it made would stick. So I just did that :P
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warmachine00:
I've never tried modifying software on phones before, I've done wii's, xbox (original), ps3, ds, etc, and had success with them all, so I'm sure I will have no trouble with the actual process, but my question is simple, why?

right now, the only thing I really want to do that I cannot with a stock rom is change my boot animation. I've seen the "fresh" rom that I hear is one of the more common and liked roms out, and I see little visual difference from the stock one besides removal of some sprint apps (some that I could do without, and some I would have to go and reinstall).

excuse my ignorance, but what exactly would I be gaining out of this besides removing some useless nascar apps and being able to change my boot animation? also, will I have to reinstall all the apps I have downloaded/installed, the settings I've changed, etc? will I have compatibility problems with new apps that I download? will the performance be better or worse, and what about the battery usage?

I tried to look around first and some up everything I had to ask in one general post so others can learn from my curiosity. thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howdyace:
You will gain (in no particular order)

Read/write acess

acess to rooted apps like Titanium backup and wifi thether

Free wifi (with wifi thether and no longer having to foot a 30 dollar add on every month)

change/alter most aspects of the phone , boot animations and other stuff

flash awesome roms including a almost done froyo rom and a host of others

Increased battery life on all of them ( VERY SIGNIFICANT battery life)

Just having the choice to have your burger your way.

Oops , I meant phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eduel80:
I did it because I was reading about the battery life. I don't know what read/write, boot animations, etc are but I NEED the nice phone to work atleast some of the day on a battery, and with root... it was like night and day for battery life savings on the damagecontrol mod.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warmachine00:
i have found by simply adding widgets to one of my home screens (wifi, 4g, gps, hotspot, bluetooth, and mobile) and keeping them off when unneeded, in conjunction with using task manager to kill apps after i am done using them, that i have a much better battery life than before. usually i can go through the day without charging it at all now. that is not a major concern now, more battery life is always a good thing though, but i assume that the rom would achieve this much like the way i do.

i duno. maybe i dont know enough about what you can do with read/write access and the other roms, i've seen some pics and info on froyo and while it looks slightly different, its not enough inspiration to root. it has an update all button for apps which is nice, but i really didnt see anything else completely a must have or really convenient. i guess ill have to look into the roms more to decide if it's worth it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
most of the stuff you see and that the average user would care about...do not require root. just using different launchers (adw.launcher, helix, launcherpro, etc) and things like "smart shortcuts" and "Flikies HD" and "digital clock widget" allow me to get my visual layout...none of them require root.

this was my screen before root...it's not much different now.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] mfpreach:
Just wanted an update. One user said he was charged for tethering however that has never happened with me before, but I haven't tether in awhile. I have never been charged before.

Is anyone regularly tethering, and have you done it lately?

Please let me know as I'm going on a trip soon and being able to tether would be helpful, thanks!.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dpkform:
it is a risk

I tethered many many times over the course of about a full year, so I was shocked to see my tethering charge when it appeared. I had already tethered after that, before getting my bill for the month. I was only charged for it once, in one specific session. Don't think I did anything different. So, even if someone tells you they have never been charged, keep in mind that until it happened to me after a year, I would have told you don't worry about it. Now I NEVER EVER risk tethering.

The risk of being charged may be very small, but the charge you incur could be huge!

You can buy a 500MB monthly data plan for $25. I was charged 100 times that much for 1/3 the data!!!!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mfpreach:
Thanks for the update.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] guitar_pic:
When you have the Vogue connected and charging off a usb on a pc, it it automatically tethered when using Android?

I know that on WM, you actually specify that the phone will be used as a modem.

I downloaded some free apps on the Android market, so I hope I won't get dinged........
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Zadabest:
And what if you have unlimited data?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] guitar_pic:
My package includes Unlimited mobile browsing. Does that change when I go from WM to Android?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] margosmark:
Nope I have that unlimited mobile browsing from bell and it works fine with android no additional costs (not sure about tethering I did it awhile ago and it was ok but have not done it lately)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] guitar_pic:
Whew! Thanks for the quick reply. I was downloading some apps from the android store for the past 2 days, and I was playing around with the google map voice nav. All of a sudden, it occurred to me that I might get charged for this!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dude4:
does anyone still tether with there vogue?

is it still undetectable? i know i used to tether with NFSFANS ROM and had no real problems

is there anything with android that could even report tethering?

i remember NFSFAN had to remove stuff from WM so bell couldnt detect it

also if tethering still good is pdanet a decent choice to do it with?

thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] MethodMan:
The thing about PDAnet(the software component that's part of NFSFAN ROM) was that it was designed to mimic browsing through the phone even if you were actually tethering. That's why the providers can't charge you for tethering since bill you for tethering if all the data incurred was through your phone's browser.

The problem here with Android ROMs is no one has come forward to claim there is a PDAnet equivalent software available. If there isn't one then you have to assume that the providers can catch you when you try to tether. Don't take the risk until there's an official way of hiding tethering activity.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] krwilson:
You can use PDAnet for Android...it works fine.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] evader69:
I've been tethering using the stock wireless tether app that's in most Android ROMS. No charges... yet.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] nbrennan:
No problems

I use Pay as you Go for my vogue, with $10/month unlimited browsing.

This only applies to CDMA devices.

I have tethered a lot with no charges yet.

I use about 500 meg - 1 gig per month on my phone. (streaming radio)

So for $120/year I have unlimited use of my Vogue Android anywhere and can tether my laptop on the road.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Satchm0:
This is pretty much why I am still using NFSFAN's rom. Tethering with the unlimited browser plan is key for me, and NFSFAN went through the trouble to encrypt the data. I was hoping after all these years, the same could be said about Android.

Are you with Bell? Do you use any apps to encrypt the data?

Look for the rss app (or look in the folder you've moved it to), open it and open the "Icon" entry.

[Android Themes] onlinespending:
Many of the default Android menus are white text on a black background. Not only do I find these visually unappealing, they are actually counter productive given how poorly dark themes read in sunlight.

Can these be changed to black text on a white background (or light background) instead? Does anyone have a theme they can share to accomplish this? Thank you.
[Android Themes] onlinespending:
OK, I guess this is not possible. It's a shame because I find Android's list based menus awfully plain and unaesthetic. White text on a black background with little visual art...it really looks like a plain vanilla terminal of yesteryear. While I love Android's openness, customization, and tweaker-friendly platform, it really needs a major overhaul in terms of looks and user friendliness. In short, the GUI needs some polish and consistency.
[Android Themes] onlinespending:
It would appear that Android has built-in "themes" for apps to use. If none is specified, then the dark or black theme is used. I wonder if there is a way to force apps to use the "light" theme even if specified otherwise. Perhaps a custom ROM could be created to always use the light theme.

This is totally feasible. You would have to do a bunch of XML edits in your framework-res.apk and declare everything correctly.

[Android Themes] onlinespending:
I don't see that theme anymore in your signature. Would it be possible for you to share it? I'm still in search of a way to get Android to be a bit lighter (outside of going with MIUI), which I find far more visually appealing.

I think LED are rated in 30K hour lifespan. If it's continually on, it'll take 3 years till EOL. Assuming it's strobing at 50/50 ratio, then it'll take 6 years if you get call all the time.

Youre not rdude?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] denimjunkie82:
Hey rori,

I'm on FRF50 and this thing rocks. What I noticed though is that during a phone call, the flash only goes through 4 cycles and then stops flashing. However it will take a few more cycles before the phone goes to VM. It'd be cooler if it went all the way through the ringing. It would be even cooler if the flashing intervals can match the trackball!

Anyone else experience this?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zenity:
Thats not a stock WM rom, I'd recommend looking for Kaiser_HTC_ASIA_HK_WWE_3.34.721.2.exe

That is the last HTC stock rom, and should flash either from Bootloader using USB, or by extracting and renaming RUU_Signed.NBH and flashing by SD card.

Note that it is safest to Format the SD card before copying files and flashing, just to make sure that there are no other files or folders that could possibly confuse things.

Things to check, if using bootloader and USB, make sure you remove the SD card first. Before you enter bootloader unplug the usb cable too, now camera+power, the bootloader screen should display 'Serial' on the bottom white area, after this plug in the USB cable, it should now say 'USB', once this is showing run the file above and plunge you back into the hell that is WM ;)

For SD card method, make certain that only the KAISimg.nbh file is on SD, and when you enter bootloader mode note that it may take a little while to read and check the NBH, since it is around 100MB, so be patient.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] tonne99:
Hi zenity,

This happened to me last week. I wanted to check how WM used to look on the Kaiser, and I got into the same issue...

Man, WM on Kaiser looks terrible! Android is much faster and more usable than WM, even with the latest ROMs.

I'm not saying that WM is not a capable OS, it's just very hard to use on a small screen. On my HD2 at least, it runs quite fast to compensate for any aesthetic issues ;)
