[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Built:
Australian phone - Found some of the best ones were ES Task Manager, Handcent for SMS/MMS and the ability to change tones via, Camera 360 for an app which enhances everything you can do with the camera, SMS backup to backup to Gmail account and Wheres my Droid which allows you to send a message to the phone when it is on silent which takes the silencer off and triggers the ringtone, enabling you to find it if you have misplaced it. Also another handy one is 3G watchdog which keeps an eye on your data usage.

I like:

AutoKiller (needs root)

Launcherpro

Homeswitcher

Appremover

Appsinstaller

MyBackup Pro

Fancywidget

Extended Controls

LeshaK's update.zip found here :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] NovemberEcho91:
I'm going to have to second launcherpro, really great app.

I can't find fancywidget in the market, is it under a new name maybe?

Also, while shazam is really nice and very accurate for commercial radio, is there another app that's aimed at more obscure/australian music music (I listen to Triple J if that helps)?

Finally can someone recommend a good news widget for australia.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Lenunited:
I have also noticed this, although some songs arent registered in the shazam database :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] dakine:
HTC complaned and it got pulled off the market i think. You will have to find an alternate source.

Since its installed on my phone can i extract the apk? I would be happy to upload somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] bommel0815:
"Got To Do" is my must have app. Was the reason to go for Android instead of the iPhone. "Note Everything Pro" is also great.

Hallo i can use dell streak to connect my ipad,how i make with my hd2?
[Streak 5 General] Jezza0:
Hi Alfri

Just to clarify, are you asking how to set up wifi tethering? Setting up your Streak to be a hotspot for your iPad and HD2?
[Streak 5 General] alfri:
Yes.now i use ipad with the connection of hd2.i can with the streak?
[Streak 5 General] Jezza0:
Well you have two options:

1) wait until Dell release the Froyo update, because it will be built-in then (along with USB internet sharing I think), or

2) set it up now by rooting your device and installing the app from the market.

It would be amiss of me to try to give you a how-to because I've not done it; I'm just waiting for the update to give it to me for free. I'm sure you can fine one, though. Maybe start here.
[Streak 5 General] aksilvershadow:
Ive heard wifi tethering is suppose to be standard programming for the Streak, such as it is with the HD2. However, since the Dell Streak is Sim locked to Att, wont they be able to tell when ur tethering another device to ur Streak?
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
The Dell/AT&T Streak will likely get an app to engage wifi tehtering (ala iPhone) that will check your account for that access with AT&T. As of yet there isn't a 2.2 Android available on AT&T so we have nothing to go on.

But if you hack/root it you could probably do it for free. Depending on several things they or may not know if you're doing it (with a hack) unless they scrutinize you.

I've tethered (wifi and USB) for years on AT&T w/o paying for it through various hacks, but my usage is very random and just light email/browsing so I actually use less data when tethered than I do using Slingbox, Youtube, etc on the phone.

YMMV of course.
[Streak 5 General] aksilvershadow:
So probably not a good idea to tether my home computer or xbox to it constantly instead of using internet from an isp then?
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
I wouldn't if for no other reason than the latency is atrocious on mobile networks. (and if you get caught it'll be pretty hard to deny with Xbox MAC addresses in your IP packet traces)

Games could be better but Galaxy S has a better gpu then Desire so once more phones are released like that we will see better games,

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divvet:
If you compare android market now to what it was a year ago, theres a huge difference in quality of apps and games.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doinbox:
good point. just realised that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAshMan:
Yes it sucks, and doesn't have the friendliest community either looking at some of the comments above.

To put into perspective - I love Android. I support it, I use it, I have used it for over 8 months and don't see myself switching to anything else.

However, in terms of apps - well look at the quality of the iPhone apps, they look so slick and intuitive it's unbelievable. In comparison the apps made for Android using the default Views look awful. I know there's a few good looking apps, but a "few" isn't most unfortunately.

Games as well, Android does have a fair few good titles such as Asphalt, RoboDefense and so on - but that's only the tip of the iceberg. There is a very long way to go if Android wants to compete in the general consumer market directly against iPhone (whose customers buy the phone mainly for the apps anyway). I read in an article yesterday saying that most of iOS's top apps are actually games. Most of Android's are utility apps and not a single game in it's top 10.

No use saying that Android is just for intelligent people anymore. It was at the time of the G1, and was even upto the start of this year. But now the gameplan has changed, they do want to make it an OS for everyone, not just geeks. Look at the marketing for the Desire, the DroidX, the X10 and so on.

However, the future isn't that dark - there should be LOADS more games coming with as new avenues for developers to actually make decent games open up:

- Flash

- AIR

- Unity Engine

- OpenFeint

- Google own aquisitions of small game-making companies such as LabPixies

- probably other stuff I've not come across

All this stuff, along with stats showing a lot of devs switching over to Android means that that we could see a massive increase in quality games in the upcoming months.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djoni1980:
Android market suffers becuase of lack of a2sd support for most of the phones/users...

Developers are probably trying to use as little of phone's internal memory as possible, and that's why the same apps look cheaper on android comparing to iphone.

Google really f*cked up with apps installation
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elburna:
Totally agree that this is one of the main problems !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinkade:
totally agree, the desire is pretty much twice as powerful as the 3gs it just doesnt have anywhere to put the data for big games etc, thats what froyo should fix.

i think the android market has come on in leaps and bounds, it reminds me of my palm days when you could pretty much find an app to do anything you wanted for free. the only downside of that is that to a certain extent, the volume of free apps acts as a disincentive to professional developers as it may give them the impression that it will be harder to monetise their products, of course some devs may be attracted to the vibrant community that is android rather than the staid walled garden that iphone apps seems to be.

in conclusion, froyo for everyone, either that or root for all and apps2sd. maybe its time that devs developed larger programs specifically for the root market. hmmmmm

I've JUST got this phone and I'm having problems with the playback of downloaded videos.

I've tried quite a few sites with no luck at all .... just the same problem over and over. Also, is it possible to have an MP3 as an alarm/message tone? I've searched the phone and cant see the option anywhere and the booklet/leaflet that comes with it Isn't really much use, I've had to download the full instruction book to get my head around it, lol.

[Wildfire General] wildfire275:
Video files must be mp4, wmv or 3gp but you can pay for yxflash or download wuzhenhua player i think to allow you to play avi's etc. The current version of rockplayer doesn't work with this device.

As for MP3 alarms, create a folder on your sd root called media and in that a folder called audio and finally a folder in audio called alarms. This is were you place your mp3's and they will appear in the alarm settings.

So the folder order from the sd card root is media>audio>alarms>yourmp3here.mp3

If you already have music on your device you can use astrofilemanager from the app store to create the folders without having to plug your phone to the pc :)

Since you guys have the international phone (identical to other SGSs except USA) you guys can flash your phone as Euro firmwares, right?

All USA phones is different from the international model.

For instance, Samsung Captivate (ATT) has 4 keys (capacitive) instead of 3 keys (1 hard 2 capacitive). No FFC.

So.. it'll be harder for us to flash our phone to the custom ROMs

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
@sl8125: there never are custom roms for a device that hasn't been released yet. The denbigh galaxy s variants that are coming to the us are going to have different hardware from each other and it will take at least a couple of weeks after general availability for the devices to get custom roms. Actually those galaxy s derivatives will probably be able to take advantage of the work that had been done on the galaxy s but nobody can say for sure since nobody has any pdt the for devices that are going under the galaxy s flag in the us.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atomoz:
Hello folks,

Well I recently made the switch from iPhone OS to Android :cool:, picked up a used Nexus One in pretty good shape, no scratches, like new and what not, the phone is amazing BUT I am having a hard time understanding some stuff (I thought I was getting a stock N1, and it seems it has been loaded w/ custom ROM and is rooted and unlocked. -which not bad in my opinion, but...

I still have some questions, I am trying to update to Froyo 2.2, and im not sure if I will ever get OTA since the phone has been messed around with and if i manually update to 2.2 it will cause trouble.

1) When I boot the phone it shows the "lock" to be opened, so I am assuming it is oem unlocked, the phone has working WiFi tethering (just like in 2.2)

2) also in the menu of the phone there is an app "superuser permission" which thats why assume the phone is also rooted

And finally In the "About phone" I get the following:

firmware 2.1-update1

baseband

32.36.00.28h_4.06.00.12_7

kernel

2.6.34-cyanogenmod

mod version

cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3

build

epe54b

I have reset the phone to factory settings, but the same info comes up everytime. the phone runs flawless, no lags, overall i love the phone.

And finally if anybody knows please feel free to share, I am trying to open port 80 on the N1 while it is running Wifi tethering and the only way i have found to do this is if the N1 is rooted, correct me if im wrong... i have a rovio that is refusing to connect to the N1s network...

Any positive input will be highly appreciated! thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Your not very confused!

Your phone is unlocked and has root. its running cyanogenmod-5.0.8-n1-test3.

You can install a custom froyo rom without too much of a problem from recovery. Remember to nandroid-backup everything from recovery first.

Get into recovery by holding down the volume down button as you press the power button to power on the phone.

Heres an example of tethering via usb/forwarded port

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sindroid:
You can install Froyo in various ways. If you want total stock you can follow the instructions on this link and let OTA froyo install itself. If you need root you can download that from HERE

This method requires SDK installed with Fastboot on your computer with mandatory USB Drivers.

Or you can go the very easy way and use ROMs that is allready cooked, ready to flash in recovery right over your old ROM, like the link that is in my signature. It works great for me and is pretty much stock with root and a couple of extras you can delete via ADB if you don't need them..

Just download the Rom, drop it on the root of your SD Card and flash away in Recovery. all done!

What you are running is a test version of Cyanogen which is not the stable version. So it seems the previous owner didn't bother flashing it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yayramen:
Okay, so I browsed around a bit (as much as I can from my phone) looking for an answer to this, but have found none, so here is my question: do the screenshot apps not work on froyo?

I'd like to see a replacement for daily briefing.

Coming from a windows 6.5 phone I like the display of multiple appointments.

My Daily Briefing only shows one appointment per day and nothing for the next day. It would be good if it could display all appointments in one day and also the next day. It may be difficult if you have many appointments, but for people like me who use it for a memory jogger with 2-3 appointments(reminders really) per day....

When you say you replace these applications, do you remove the stock applications from Samsung or you leave it installed still? How do you remove them?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AXIS of Reality:
Not meaning to actually uninstall them or anything, just alternatives to get from the Market and use instead.

There's nothing stopping you from having multiple twitter or facebook apps. =P

For keyboards, you need to download and install the app, then go to Settings -> Locale and text -> tick the new keyboard if there's a checkbox.

Then to switch to that keyboard, open a random app such as memo that uses a keyboard and touch-hold on a text input to until 'Input Method' pops up and choose the keyboard you want.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
wow! almost as me, the only difference i like the Droid X keyboard instead
