If you remove the Navigator apk I'm pretty sure you won't be able to use the google navigator turn by turn directions-style navigation. Google maps will work, but not navigation. I don't think you can remove just the icon from the apps drawer if that's what you mean.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foolforfood:
One way I uninstall apps if I don't want to use adb is to install titanium backup and uninstall from there. Just go to the backup/restore tab, tap on the app and it should give you the option to uninstall.hope this helps!
[Android Themes] xenunx:
I had a hard time finding a theme I wanted and didn't have the time to make my own, all I was wanting was a special status bar that was partially transparent. So heres what its come down to, I used the KewlGrey Theme and mixed it with the Stock DE03 Theme. Added in KewlGrey Status Bar, Status Backround, Different Font, and last but not least the Color of the Notification when you touch it.

EDIT: The forum will not allow me to post the image URLs and the ZIP for the theme is to large to be uploaded in the manager :(

EDIT2: Managed to upload the pics but cant get the theme up yet due to Newbie restrictions
[Android Themes] Pfeffernuss:
The fact that the notification-bar icons are actually larger than the grey background bar makes it look rather messy.

Also the date (when the notification bar is pulled down) has a different grey background as well.

I think you should sort these things out first, to be honest :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] xenunx:
I actually didnt notice that till you said it, Ill get right on that.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
A Small Story to serve as an introductory:

So a while back, when I got my brilliant Excalibur, I started developing small applications. Some of you may recall the, now long dead :(, thread I had called CycloneApps [By Request]. I started with C#, and did some ok things [in my opinion] and they helped serve as a learning block for bigger and better developments. I have gone from CMail.exe, the command-line replacement to tmail.exe, all the way to FFP_LockScreen [Fake FingerPrint LockScreen], which unfortunately was aimed at Touch-Screen phone users as a project I undertook as I showed interest on a thread in the Software Development sub-forum. I got my original inspirations and 'drive' to develop from this here community, the Excalibur owners or supporters, and I thought it be best that I now fulfill a request made by Ookba, the great Chef who has brought our phones new life.

See, shortly after I started taking requests, Ookba suggested I re-make SMSBubbles to be more functional with the ROM. At the time, with the speeds of the .NET CF, it seemed impossible to really do. But I come back to you all now with the knowledge of C++ :) So as a token of my appreciation to all Excalibur owners, I want to develop CycBubbles, an SMSBubbles remake with features YOU want!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Having said all of that, I ask now that if anyone has any interest in such a program becoming available to the Excalibur, they reply to this thread with Ideas concerning one of the following:

Soft-Keys: What should the LEFT soft-key and RIGHT soft-key do [ and under what circumstances] ?

Look and Feel: Do you like the SMSBubbles 'bubble', or do you want something different? [Realize that more complex designs = slower speed]

Rules: How about some filter-rules about when the bubble should or should NOT appear.

Positioning: Do we all like the bubble at the bottom of the screen? Maybe we can make it more PPC-Like if it were in the Center, or from the TOP.

Extra Functions: What kind of extras would you like? (i.e. Should I utilize the 0 - 9 keys on the keyboard to do something?)

Once I get the ideas from YOU guys/girls, on what YOU want this program to do, I can start developing :)

Please consider if you want to see this program really flourish :)
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Reserved for later use
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
Rules would be awesome. How about setting bubbles only for certain contacts? Would the .cab install work for other ROM's besides ookba's?
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I would most definitely aim to make the program ROM INdependent.

Thank You for the feedback :)
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
it would be interesting to make the left and right soft keys customizable...

and as for the location/look of the bubbles, that to would be nice to customize and to relocate wherever the user feels. top, bottom, left, right, center...

the rules sounds good, and maybe apply an ignore feature to certain annoying contacts lol. like a black list on contacts that the bubbles won't show up for.<-- pretty much what Frostmoon said. lol

pretty much make it user customizable friendly. :D

nice to see you around these parts again. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Due to the rather disheartening amount of feedback on this thread, I will most likely not develop this in the near future :(.

I am currently consumed with finishing up my next version of Fake FingerPrint LockScreen for Touch-Screen phones, but that should be over in about a week.

I have been pondering re-starting development on my Horizon Home-Screen, if any of you remember that (if not, you can search it). My further knowledge of C++ will most definitely assist me in making this HomeScreen I had dreamed of making a while back when I only knew C#.

So I suppose be on the lookout for any news on that, and check here occassionally to see if I post back. For now, I am going to leave this on Stage 1 (Gathering Ideas), NOT DISCONTINUED, because I do hope to have the time to come back to this soon and give back to the community that started me off :)
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Yeah it's a real shame as the idea was requested by users yet response so small, no longer have an Excalibur but think that the development of a SMS bubble app with more configurable options would be welcomed by many smartphone users and not just Excalibur, maybe worth thinking as a project for D&H rather than just Excalibur users. ;)
[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
>sms bubble duration

>marque of sms

>if recived multiple sms we shuld b able to select the one to view....

>customizable soft buttons becoz diffrent user wants different settings..

>user created themes

> rules is another great idea... coz somtimes service provider sends lots of annoing sms + others

>hide the vip sms.. and it requires password to view the sms( it can b a seperate function to lock the sms bubble with password)

>photo of the sender... if it is from the saved contact...

> a floating bubble would b great the flows from up-down or vice versa.... until the user press a button..:rolleyes:
[HTC Excalibur] dermann:
good ideas!

yes, it is a shame. i was really looking forward to this.

best of luck with you home screen development, will check in on that time to time.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
As stated above, good ideas!

@Cyclonezephyrxz7 - This can be a good start don't you think?. Thanks for your work dude, I hope to see this project rolling out :)
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
@Mr.Clown (and all others too)

Yes, it did serve as a sort of inspiration to start up. Thank You to those who did contribute ideas thus-far. I have not started up a thread yet, but http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7166724&postcount=39

:D

Expect something soon (Within a month maybe?)

Also, I am now officially a co-founder, and primary developer for Chicken-Egg Solutions. This will become my main venue for application development and requests, as well as web-design, computer repair, and problem solutions (Most of these will be taken care of by my friend, the other Co-Founder). The website will be up soon (www.chicken-eggsolutions.com), check back every so often :D
[HTC Excalibur] senderj:
Hi Cyclone,

We met in another thread. But I would like to raise my function request here for your consideration.

I am looking for a delivery note management function that allows my to keep track of my sms receiver. I would like to know who, by name, have received my sms and at what time. I don't know if such function is appropriate for the software you are developing. If so, please consider to add this function into it. If not, appreciate if you can point me to the right direction.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
So are you requesting, as opposed to the normal Delivery Requests that Windows Offers, to make a type of 'Delivery Notification' that gets stored in some XML-like file for future reference?
[HTC Excalibur] senderj:
It will be great if the software can list out the receiver name and date/time of the delivery notification. It will ever greater if it can match the sms/delivery notification with the acknowledgement send out by the receiver after receiving my sms.

If it only output an XML, user will have to figure out how to display it on a mobile phone.
[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
how about an option of reading the incoming sms....like in nokia mobiles
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Like Text-To-Speech?
[HTC Excalibur] somecuitears:
ya... how about that.. i think it shuld be customizable soft button or a different button..
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
I will see. I feel that that may increase the size of the app distinctly, and also distinctly reduce the speed. Although I could probably figure a way to not let it be affected.

Anywho, Thank you, ALL, so much for these ideas. I suppose that I will start attempting to make this once I am fully done with my FFP_LS pro (Which, by the way, works on Excaliburs! and other non-touch-screen phones :) ) and when I get my internet back fully.
[HTC Excalibur] Mr. Clown:
Thanks for your work and for sharing it, we will wait then ;)
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Revised Idea, and then some

Okay, so this post contains a little meat to it :p

1) I want to let people know about FFP_LockScreen Pro 2.0, now available on my website( www.chicken-eggsolutions.com ). My partner and I do app development as well as web design/development. FFP_LS Pro 2.0 is fully based on C++, has many customizable components, and best of all it is (what I consider to be) a pretty legitimate replacement lock for our phones. I have made this version (and all future versions) compliant with our lovely Excaliburs. Instead of having to press the screen, trick people with a "slight of hand" by putting your finger on-screen while pressing the space-bar with your knuckle (thats how it works for me) and it will start scanning. Trust me, it mystified half my family already haha. Anywho, it is shareware, so there is a free NON-EXPIRING trial. THe trial has its limiatations however. Also, another feature that is in this for our lovely Exca's that is currently NOT available to TOuch-Screen phones is true replacement (sorta) of the default lock. By using specific API commands, I was able to get it to run when we initiate the default lock! Cocky as it may sound, I feel this lockscreen beats S2U2 in 3 ways: (1) Tests have shown it to boot faster, (2) it actually replaces the default lock, and doesn't use some timeout trick, and (3) is actually blocks other windows [unlike S2U2 which can be overridden by pressing the TaskManager key or Messaging Key (on my phone at least)]. So yeah, personally I recommend it, but I made it. I will extend the same challenge here as I did on the Development forums: If you can make an interesting skin for the program, you can win a free license (3$ value) :)

2) So recently I have become extremely pissed off with tmail.exe. When I have actual 'conversation - length' messages, it is slow and just overall frustrating! So I thought, "Hey, I am already starting CycBubbles...why not make it a whole 'suite' type thing". So I am considering making my own Messaging Client EXE. It would be a major switch, as it would eliminate CE MAPI for the most part (it would keep messages stored there, but its main access would be via XML). Then as an extension to this I can h ave CycBubbles. Generally, I find, SMSBubbles works...and it is reliant on CE Mapi, so I can make one reliant on XML, not CE MAPI, that works comfortably with my own client. What do you think of that idea? This would obviously require a lot more time. But if it is what I imagine I can do, it will be faster and better :)

So I guess that is it really... If i remember anything else I wanted to say, I will post back again!
[HTC Excalibur] PapaJasy:
Nice ideas and apps. Thank you for being one of the few developers that contribute to the continuous living Excalibur!
[HTC Excalibur] xzuhto:
As you know I'm a very frustrated tmail.exe user. We discussed it in another thread. I like the idea of making it a suite as you said. I think itd greatly increase the speed of some of these roms if the whole phone didnt bog down when you open texts. The suite portion would make it an increasly appealing add-on to some of the custom ROMs around here. I for one think its a great idea and will be greatly anticipating it coming out. Also, if you need testers to help with early on bugs and what not I'll be more then happy to try and help out.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Right now I am thinking the following:

Concerning CE MAPI: There can be an exe that will parse new messages and store them in the CE MAPI stores, so other apps can use it for the most part. I don't want to cause mass incompatibilities...

Concerning UI: Maybe I keep this one concentrated on us Non-Touch phones for a while. Touch-Screen phones tend to have faster processors and more RAM, so they probably don't hit the issue so often. But the Plus side to C++ is that I can really, quite easily, make the program Touch-Screen compatible.

Concerning GUI: Any Ideas? Right now I am thinking a remake of tmail.exe's GUI. Make as much as possible customizable...I don't personally like those CSS stylesheets for customization...Too many options means too much chance for error, but if I can contain the posibilities to an extent, to keep the common customization requests, then it should be fine (and faster to load).

Concerning Functionality: I can get SMS messages from RIL (which gets messages Pre-CE MAPI), but I don't know how to get MMS or E-Mail or anything of the sort. So I'll have to figure that out. I think i saw some guides on MSDN to make my own Transport DLLs...i'll look into that.

I can't make too many promises with this. This is fully conceptual. I am not that good a dev haha, still in High School...but it would be one hell of a project to take on.

What do you all (who may read this) think?
[HTC Excalibur] xzuhto:
It sounds like good ideas, I'm no good at any programming languages so I'm of no use in suggesting the way the program is built in that sense. As for customizable, maybe make it to where you can pick font colors, minor things like that. Hopefully that wouldnt slow it down? I know my Dash struggles to run smoothely so the less slow down the better..lol The normal time stamp and date setup is nice, I dont know if you've used the older WM but it used to have when you brought symbols up, they had a number you could press to select that symbol quickly, instead of scrolling to it. That would be a nice feature for faster texting.
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Thanks for the recommendations.

I am actually working now on FFP_LockScreen 2.5, which DOES WORK ON OUR EXCALIBURS!!! (Use the Spacebar to act like a 'touch' ... I'll make a video soon enough to show off the app)

After I finish that, I am also engaged in another project which is a GOOD Boggle Re-Make for Windows Mobile...I am already starting that up.

After I finish the Boggle app, then I can start work on this whole suite of stuff... I'll probably push myself to make CycBubbles compatible with both CE MAPI and my own little OpenMail project.

Further, I had ideas for CycBubbles/OpenMail:

Make it easy to do Facebook/Twitter/etc. stuff, maybe a "Like" option, etc...just things to make life simpler!
[HTC Excalibur] xzuhto:
Simpler is always better. Sounds like you got your hands full. Hope you actually enjoy all that, or its gonna turn into work real quick lol
[HTC Excalibur] Cyclonezephyrxz7:
Yeah,

I do really enjoy coding :)

SMSBubbles Sourcecode Errors

Have you tried to compile the source of SMSBubbles (and SMSDRFix)?
[HD2 General] themachfive:
Hello all,

I am in desperate need of a way to store the text messages that I have on my HD2. I know you can do it through a backup but this request is different. On my old *phone I could press home+off button and it would screen capture the message.

******This is to gain custody of my child, please help!

thank you in advance

.d
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you could use something like 'shake and save' to take screen grabs as image files, or there are some other screen grab options HERE
[HD2 General] themachfive:
thank you so much. I am in the middle of a bad separation and she is using the kids as a weapon right now. Thankfully she doesn't know how to stop txting stupid bullsh*t and I would LOVe to be able to present this to my lawyer to turn this girl into ash!
[HD2 General] watcher64:
Also remember the court can request text logs from the phone carrier, I think they are required to keep them for like a year or something, make her pay for it ...
[HD2 General] themachfive:
well thanks, I have every intention. This chick doesn't know whats she's doing, it's unbelievable..

on a side note, when i had my *phone I was a smarty pants and saved all sorts of stupid messages from her and satan(her mom) from last year. Not to mention she is manic depressive. Sad.. she had me fooled for 2 years before i saw what was happening.. my first bout with this.... never again and I refuse to allow my kids to grow up in her house watching her go through these spells. they deserve more.

My mobilizer worked like a charm. I wish I would have asked this question a while back.. so many other good messages i could have saved

I feel for you Bro, been there done that, have the scars to prove it ....
[XPERIA X10 General] ajelman:
after rooting the phone, when i check on my battery usage, it suprised me that the main battery usage is not standby anymore. instead, it says 80% on display, but i didn't use the phone that much today and the battery drops pretty fast. alot worse than before root. anyone know what happens?
[XPERIA X10 General] iridaki:
I noticed that in the Battery Usage the display is always first with a really great percentage, BUT if you use Spare Parts you will see the normal usage.

So, I think it's just a bug.

My battery is better than before actually!
[XPERIA X10 General] bloke:
My battery life is much worse actually, I think i have the 020 root, not sure, as in my phone settings it says FW 020. I thought id downloaded the 023 root though...

Bloke#
[XPERIA X10 General] FRiKiNFRoG:
My battery seems better but I just noticed something, the little battery graph on top of the phone, there are 5 stages if I remember correctly (5/5 being full and 0/5 being mostly empty). So math wise, under 80% it should display the battery at 3/5 full, mine is at 70% and displays 4/5 full, is sony trying to screw us or did I do something wrong?
[EVO 4G General] jgarozzo:
I downloaded the updated drivers online and sync'd once. I went to sync again and nothing? What am I missing?
[EVO 4G General] CharlyDigital:
What are you trying to accomplish?
[EVO 4G General] jgarozzo:
root, nandroid backup, flash rom. I think I did the first two, trying to do the latter.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMartin:
Like most of the others in this section, I come from the WinMo world. I just got my OTA'd Evo and I have to say, the battery takes forever to charge. My Touch Pro2 & Touch Pro both have no2chem's fast charge battery driver(it makes it feel like they fully charge in 5 mins) and since we haven't seen him in a while I thought someone else might be able to develop one for our amazing Evo's!!

Please Help!! Thanks in advance!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogwilson:
Can you provide more info on this? A full charge in 5 minutes sounds ridiculous but I won't out anything past XDA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlipnScotch415:
Haha, I remember that WM driver..NueBattery (no2chem)..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nize2beme:
this has been spoken of before on these forums... it might be in the works, but you are reffering to a fast charge via USB connection rather than wall connection. Wall connection is full speed, USB is throttled down to prevent damage to the USB port on the computer plugged in to.

the process is a great add if you use tether charge a lot, like I do. If I am constantly streaming online on my old winmo phone even with fast charge I would slowly deplete my battery while it was plugged in, I haven't used the EVO much for streaming but I would be afraid to see the results w/o fastcharge.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You stole Boo Boo's Name:
thats why you buy a couple extra batteries and a wall charger :)

a FEMALE?! BlashpHEMOUS!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastingoctober:
This. Got a replacement battery and charger on ebay for under $10 shipped. Works out great. Just swap the generic out with the stock whenever my battery starts running low. The only time I ever plug in my phone to charge is at night.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sopenco:
Seriously - if somebody is requesting a valuable piece of development in a development forum, what value are you adding trying to sell him batteries!? Do you honestly think he's gonna be like, "Oh hey, yeah, you're right! Who needs a phone to charge fast when I can just carry around a pocket full of spare batteries and a charger! Why didn't I think of that?"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wastingoctober:
Perhaps he didn't realize how inexpensively good-quality replacement batteries and chargers can be acquired. Also, a single battery inside a charger case isn't much larger than a wall charger + cable (which by your own assumption he must be carrying around in his pocket).

I understand what you're saying about it being a developer forum and all, but I don't see any harm in offering a feasible solution to a posed problem. I mean, look at Apple. They told people they had to buy a case or stop holding a phone with their left hands! :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
+1 for this
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clayginn:
5 Minutes to charge and 10 minutes of use sounds about right for WiMo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clayginn:
I wish when connect to USB it would trickle charge. that way you don't the drop as soon as you disconnect the phone. so i guess i want to slow things down a bit but just when on USB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidDhakan:
This!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crpercodani:
Hahahaha ha.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nagrom Nniuq:
Yes, we need this for sure! Carrying around batteries is NOT the answer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
it wouldn't really charge in 5 minutes, but it would charge about as fast as plugging it into the wall.

and for the person mentioning the developer who was a girl, cmonex legend of hardspl!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdub4nd:
+1 on the props to cmonex!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amw1972:
this fast charge thing is NOT new to most of us that frequent XDA and other dev/mod forums (PPCGeeks)...and it is perfectly legit to put out a request for...

suggesting an extra battery is good and all...but not always feasible. Apple suggesting what they did was to redirect everyone's attention to THEIR lack of attention on a piece of supposedly high end hardware..that now seems to be flawed. OP has been around for sometime...and the extra battery thing is a good idea already...especially for noobs
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskiyab:
That would be CMONEX
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supdawg:
I got 10$ for the first Dev who figures out how to usb fast charge. I know, not much. But its a start.
