[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] elvis13:
Yeap, in programs folder as an .exe, other folders like goggle maps are there too. The programs still don't show or work. Should i not try and get an .cab version? since looking into this takes you into trying to understand a pda rather than a PC. The .exe files still cant be seen, i have to run them via file explorer, although now loaded a short cut via button strokes so am using that to make the task a little easier.

I ran a .cab file on another program and found it distributed files with icons and other th9ngs that seem to integrate better into the host rather than an .exe

Also been looking at all the apps these phones can have its amazing.

I have one on my phone that can change a set of traffic lights in my city!

With authorisation of course, its my job, just saying how the PDA has really started to take off. become the real modern Swiss army knife.

Hi I love my new galaxy s but there are a few apps I'm missing from my touch pro 2.

1 myplayer - is there anything I can use to access iplayer or watch live tv?

2 scummvm - I think I saw this running on the g1 but can't find it in market place

3 is there an internet radio program I can use to enter my own stations or one with on demand content (like spotify but not spotify as I don't have an account)

Also being new to android is there any must have apps I need to get?

Thanks

[Desire General] brandall:
Hi guys, noob help needed.

Sat back for a while and eventually took the plunge yesterday to root and try some custom ROMs and all went fine :D - thanks to all those who put the time in for the tutorials and tools.

I've come from Stock Orange and the battery life was great which I know others weren't reporting, but since using the custom ROMs I've noticed an increased drain - I need good battery life for my working day.

I've got fake flash and nandroid to make it easy to skip between ROMs, but the stock HTC ROM I want to use for work (no Orange bloatware) is a .exe installer.

So, my noob question - if I run this, will it unroot my phone? Or will I just be able to flash a custom ROM via Fake Flash after?

Second question is - do I need to wipe any data before I run nandroid restore? I read somewhere (can't remember where) that there were SMS issues if you didn't? If so, what exactly should I wipe?

Final question - there seems to be differing opinions on what is the best set-up for the storage card format/partitions. Any recommendations on the 'correct' guide before I sort out Apps2SD?

Thanks in advance for your help
[Desire General] brandall:
Bump.............!
[Desire General] rolfd:
Basically if you flash an unrooted stock rom, that is what you will have. A stock desire with no root.

What custom roms have you tried? Most should actually increase battery life.

No need to wipe anything before doing a nandroid restore. It's a bit like windows system restore. It replaces everything back to the way it was at the moment you did the backup.

As for A2SD, if you are using a 2.1 rom then you need an EXT partition on the SD card. Froyo or 2.2 roms don't need the EXT partition, but some now use it as most people don't like googles version of A2SD. An EXT partition of 512MB and the rest FAT32 is normally recommended.
[Desire General] brandall:
Appreciate your reply - the unrooted Stock ROM = not rooted, makes sense to me now!

I'm running deFroST now and the battery usage is probably 50% higher... It seems to be the luck of the draw.

Thanks for info on no wipe needed and partitioning.

All the best.

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Guest69:
Had my Streak since Monday after finally deciding against the HD2. I've been a winmo user for years but didn't like the idea of being stuck with 6.5 for another 18 months.

I had built up a huge selection of fave apps for my HD and was reluctant to let some of them go, so I thought it would be a good idea to start a thread for everyone's essential apps for the Streak.

Having only had the "phone!" for a few days, here's a couple of apps i'm liking so far:

1. RockPlayer - play avi files and more.

2. Google Navigation - although comes shipped in UK.

3. MyPlayer - BBC iPlayer.

4. AppKiller - although this is the only task manager i have tried so far.

5. EsFileExplorer - again the only one tried so far.

6. XDA app - nice interface and faster than using the browser.

7. ColourUp - i love editing photos and this is pretty cool.

8. Google SkyMap - works brilliantly.

9. Swype - only just started using this, for me it's brilliant.

Ok, there's my keepers for now, how about yours? I've not really found any great games that fit will on the screen yet although i'm liking Winds Of Steel.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Cypher84:
Same as yours really, but would like to add Astro file explorer - great for installing apps outside market. And if you like reading as much as i do Laputa is a awesome ebook reader with ipad style bookshelf and page turning and loads of online books.

Tried quite a few games and at the mo playing Zenonia little rpg ala zelda which is a nice enough. Game Boid is a great emulator for all those classics. Mazeoid is a free pac man game runs great on the streak.

Im experimenting with different keyboards, the dell one works great but the numpad throws off the whole symmetry. Ive tried smart keyboard which is quite nice with lots of skins, but i found it slow so went back. Any suggestions would be very welcome...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] THJahar:
Gonna add a new one as of yesterday....kindle reader.

just bought a couple of books and woopee for some reason you can buy them at american prices. Lot cheaper than the UK store/mobipocket etc.

Oh yeah and Rockplayer...rocks...will probably be my first 'purchased' app once it get's released (I've not had a need for anything else that requires paying for yet.)

oops. forgot I don't play many games but Bonsai Blast is really addictive and fits the screen great.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Guest69:
Great, was looking for a decent ebook reader for the ebooks i already have, I also think the numeric keypad is a dumb thing - not thought about as it forces you to hold the streak lob-sided to type, as you, still looking for a decent alternative.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Guest69:
Yep, kindle reader looks lovely, but can't get it to work with the ebooks i "bought" from other sources. Will give the bonsai blast a try. Cheers.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Cypher84:
Nice find, buy them cheap while you can ;)

Gave Bonsai Blast a go and i agree looks great and a pretty fun and adictive thanks.

Kindle looks good but like Guest69 i have a collection of ebooks i need to be able to import, maybe this will be possible later...

Also found a few good widgets. Htc smooth calendar (other one was buggy) looks great, matching the dell theme better then the default and shows 3 appointments. VolumeWidget is on my home screen, gives you 3 buttons for preset volume profiles.

Finally the Zedge app is like the app store of ringtones, has search, preview and install functions. Theres also a wallpaper section, but i havent tried it as i have made my own seamless sets like the o2 wallpapers (cut up and resized some high res dual monitor wallpapers) ill post some here when i get a minute.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] courtlandre:
My favorite book reader is aldiko, and it has limited support for importing books as well as long as they are epub format.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Dogmann:
Hi all,

Well I've had my Streak now for a little over 3 weeks and have now flashed my first custom Rom which comes Rooted and with Superuser permissions plus has allowed me to remove from the Rom the apps i had no need for.

So here are my installed apps in no particular order.

Astro File Manager: can be used to install apps that come as apk's as opposed to from the market

Barcode Scanner: easy way to install apps form QR codes or just reading Bar codes

3G Watchdog: Monitors your data use over 3G you can set your allowance and it will monitor and alert you

Live Calender: Will bring up upcoming Appointments on your Home screen

F1 Pocket 2010: all you need to stay up to date with F1

Moto GP Pocket 2010: all you need to stay up to date with Moto GP

iSyncr for PC: Easy transfer and sync of iTunes to your Streak

Google Sky Map: Map of the Stars and Planets

Engadget: Widget with scrolling updates

SystemPanelLite Task Manager:Shows you CPU and Memory use

myPlayer: BBC iPlayer

ShootMe: Screen Shots for Rooted devices

Speedtest.net Speed Test

Rock Player: Plays DivX Avi and many other formats in great quality.

Co Pilot Live: Sat Nav with POI'S and Speed Cameras

Gentle Alarm: Great Multiple Alarm app with some unique nice features

Seven Push E-Mail: Real time Push E-Mail with full folder support

Cloud List:Great: shopping or other list app also on line lists that can be shared with others

Tapatalk Pro: handy tool for posting on Forums

TVCatchup Mobile Live TV Streaming with lots of UK channels

Fring: Skype and IM chat app includes Skype Video chat

Superuser Permissions: allows rooted apps permission

Boot Explorer: File explorer and more for Rooted devices

Root Booter: Easy Normal, Recovery or Bootloader Reboot options

Boot Manager: Control over various options and apps on your device

Swype: simply the best keyboard and typing experience ever IMHO

I should mention although System Panel Lite is a task manager that's not what I'm using it for as it also shows CPU and Memory use along with all your Active applications and Inactive cached applications. Personally I'm just not using a task killer or killing any apps at all.

Wow having now made this list i can't believe just how many apps i have installed so far just as well the Streak comes with 2GB for installing them on.

@ Dogman, Mate whats the name of the Barcode reader you use thanks :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Dogmann:
Hi lufc

It's called Barcode Scanner and it works better then any I've ever used before literally as soon as you frame the QR code it identifies it and gives gives you the option to open the browser which actually opens the download store with the app ready to just hit for download. It still amazes me very time i use it to download a new app just how fast and simple it makes the whole procedure.

Marc
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
Thanks Marc will give that one a try i have been using Mobile tag and its not much cop :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fards:
I'm using loads !

Fring - pity it doesn't support Fbchat yet, but it was a shock to have a video call from one of my aussie mates yesterday :)

phonebook 2.0 - so much better than the stock contacts for making phone calls.

fancy widget - (sense style clock and weather)

dolphin browser - can't decide which I prefer this or stock browser

opera mini 5 - for when I'm on gprs as it's faster there.

wifinder- neat little app

barcode scanner

osmtracker- useful for updating openstreetmap or gps logging

Vespucci - for ondevice osm editing

sportypal - used it in winmo, not as good as runsat though, maybe hollywoof will write an android runsat app one day.

floating image - ultra cool way of showing pictures

layar - more for showing off

laputa

Mytracks - works with runsaturday.com (via email)

Imeasy -fbchat

myplayer

panoramio-to use teh photo service

pkt auctions ebay

seesmic-much better twitter, crap widget though

tapatalk pro

slideit - great once you get past the stupid crashing installer

root explorer

goggles

bonsai blast

and a couple of spongebob games for my kids
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] shEEEsh:
My FAVORITE app is Swype. A month ago they were letting people download the app again and I got it for my Nexus One .. I loved it because for some reason I was having a horrible time typing .. When I first got my Streak I typed on it for about 15 minutes and then downloaded Swype again and that is ALL I ever use. I made it the default program for any text and you can always type letter by letter if you are having problems with a certain word. On YouTube there are several GREAT instructional videos on swyping from the maker. I am pretty sure I am getting faster swyping than I was typing on my iphone.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Cypher84:
Double post...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Cypher84:
Thanks for the barcode scanner tip Marc, its real fast and accurate definitely a keeper.

ROFL @ "XDA_devs is rapidly becoming the McDs of the winmo world, sadly full of rude chavs demanding crap immediately.. "

As for swype, I gave it a try but I wasnt impressed, guess its a preference thing but I can type fast as hell in landscape with a normal kb so long as it can keep up. I found with swype it takes much more finger movement to type each word and you have to look at what you are doing more, not to mention smearing crap all over the screen...

Im still searching for a good alternative to dells stock kb, tried everything in the market with mixed results, but I think I'll just wait till the froyo update and try the ported htc multitouch kb.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Dogmann:
@Cypher84

If you mess around with the settings for Swype you can change how long the trace shows for and the same for word prediction i have reduced the time for both which i have found has made the world of difference. Also now Swype has learnt most of my most commonly typed words I'm finding it incredibly fast and accurate and also it's quite forgiving if your not totally accurate. Also for the suggested word to be put in you just start the next word so now after just a short while using Swype it defiantly is my by far preferred method of text input. But like anything just because it's best for me doesn't mean it has to be for everyone else.

Marc
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] lufc:
I have tried 6 versions of swype and i cannot seem to get them to work they install OK and i go to setting and tick to enable it but when i go to the keyboard its still the stock one is there something i am doing wrong

Dogman any chance you can upload the version you use thanks :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] payneardo:
I had the same problem but you just need to do this

After you have installed and enabled swype

Open a text input box (what I do is open up the browser, go to google and then hold my finger down in the google search box)

Hold your finger down in this box until a menu appears "Input method"

select Input Method and then it should give you an option of Swype or Android Keyboard, select swype and now it will use that as default :)

Hope this helps

Cheers
