this app is genius! how did google never bring this to fruition????
[EVO 4G General] snake411:
Yea I totally agree with you.

Another good keyboard is SwiftKey X. Their predictions and auto correct has gotten really good. I mean good to the point where I don't really look at what letters I'm typing and everything still comes out great. I am also disabled, i can only use one hand, so SwiftKey keyboard X really and i mean really helps me out. Before that typing was a chore, or at least it felt like it. Now it's just great.
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
I've read few people talk about SwiftKey X.

I might have to give that a try, because I'm about tired of Swype, really. Words I've added to the dictionary still don't come up first, and I just get tired of for being fire, poor being pot, etc.....

Friggin' annoying

is there a way to get the ringtone package from CM6.0?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
To copy them to C:\ using adb enter this:

adb remount
adb pull /system/media/audio/ringtones /ringtones

Or just download the attached zip :p

I have noticed that one of what Dolphin offers shouldn't be overlooked. Its gesture-command support is, quite frankly, almost as impressive as the multi-touch. You set up a series of custom gestures to control almost everything from navigating forward or backward to opening your bookmarks. Not only these above, all the functions you want to realize but not on the menu list. It is so much more convenient than the traditional operation. Moreover anytime you want to perform one of those commands, you just touch the gesture symbol and draw in your lines.

What I should emphasize here is that gesture in Dolphin HD could load URL. To be more specific, you want a gesture to load FACEBOOK or GOOGLE. No pro! Any websites you want will be ok. Or you want to use gesture to represent add-ons, home page, subscribe RSS, it goes well, too. So we should take full advantage of the gesture feature. As a fan of Dolphin Browser, I really enjoy this feature, and hope all Dolphin users like my recommendation.

Hi has anyone noticed when you switch the sgs on an off some off the mp3 dont play back saying it cant be found and also some just vanish?

Thats from my new memory card.?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alpystar:
when I connect my phone to the comp I have to connect whilst I'm using tw launcher. I use launcher pro, is there any way around this so I can use launcher pro whilst it connected to pc.

also if I did uninstalled tw launcher will I still be able to use the kies software? and would it effect the speed of my phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] igniztion:
TwLauncher is the app on the phone that is used for identifying the phone in Kies, so if you wanna use Kies, you also need to use TwLauncher while connected to the PC.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alpystar:
o ok, so i should leave it on? if if did get rid of it, would it speed up my phone?
[Captivate General] cconrado:
Hey, not sure if this really belongs here, or in General, but since its semi-hacking the system, I'll post here first.

It seems, so far, that Touchwiz isn't nearly as deeply integrated as Sense is, and that at least some of Samsung's Modified Apps can just be backed-up, deleted, and replaced with the stock apps from Android 2.1 (using apps ripped from CM5.0.8 for Nexus 1 for my attempts.)

So, I thought I'd start a list of stock Android 2.1 apps that people have made work on the vibrant. I know a lot of people are waiting for CM or other custom roms and alternate recovery images, but in the mean time, lets start customizing!

I have confirmed the following to work, but only after the original touchwiz apps are deleted from /system/app, then the stock apps are installed via the standard installer to /data/app and cp over to /system/app then reboot

Music.apk

DeskClock.apk

Calendar.apk

CalendarProvider.apk

GenieWidget.apk

Mms.apk (NEW! added 7/21/2010)

Another pleasant surprise, is that I now have the default Calendar, music, and news & weather widgets on my vibrant!

Again, adb push didn't work for anything since I can't remount with r/w access yet, but a su adb shell allowed me to busybox cp them to /sytem/app once they were installed.

I've tried the same method with the CM5.0.8 LiveWallpapers with no success, so maybe someone else has some suggestions?

My next step is to test out bringing the original phone.apk and contacts.apk/contactsprovider.apk over

7/21/2010

Got the default messaging app from CM 5.0.8 brought over, still having tons of trouble with the default dialer and contacts/contacts provider, samsung has buried their signature for these deep in android somewhere, even outside of /data/system/packages.xml so any attempt to install the CM versions even after removing the Touchwiz apps fail.

cheers everyone!

This was copied from the vibrant section just thought you guys should know. Also the member that wrote it was s0niqu3
[Captivate General] DocRawk:
Thanks. I've missed my music and News & Weather widgets for the last day or so. Really hoping CM6 gets ported over to the Captivate soon. I'd imagine it probably won't until they have a final 6.0
[Captivate General] designgears:
can you post GenieWidget.apk?

nvm, found it
[Captivate General] jm9843:
What method should be used to copy from /data/app to /system/app?

Thanks.
[Captivate General] larry996:
Yup, I love geniewidget weather and news from my Nexus One. So simple, best small weather and news widget out there. grab it over at 4shared .....
[Captivate General] jm9843:
Has anyone been able to get the stock 2.1 Calendar and Calendar Service Provider to work?

I uninstalled the TouchWiz versions of both (using Titanium Backup), uninstalled both from "Settings-Manage Applications", rebooted, installed stock Calendar and Calendar Service Provider apk's to the /data/app internal storage (I've already done the side-loading apps mod).

This seems to work fine except for syncing with Google. The calendar sync fails every time which I assume has to do with a Calendar Service Provider install problem. The Calendar still works locally but isn't nearly as useful without properly working Google sync.

Does anyone have any hints for getting this to work or have had success themselves with the Captivate (I know people have got it working with the Vibrant, but their suggestions haven't worked out as of yet).

Oh, and to make matter worse, the TouchWiz Calendar and TouchWiz Calender Service provider both fail when I try to reinstall them. :confused:
[Captivate General] Tacun:
Is there a list of the names of the TouchWiz apps that need to be removed? Most are obvious but I'm not 100% sure what to remove.

EDIT: I have gotten music, mms, calendar, calendar provider, geniewidget and deskclock all installed correctly on my Captivate.
[Captivate General] jankyboy:
Just trying to figure out the correct procedure... to install (for example) the Android calendar, should the following steps be performed:

- Extract calendar.apk and calendarprovider.apk from one of Cyanogen's ROMs

- Copy both apk files to sd card and install via the built-in installer

- use busybox to cp each app from /data/app to /system/app

- reboot and enjoy?

Thanks,

Does anyone have a way of uploading the stock browser.apk from the JH2 build? I uninstalled it by mistake, trying to install the stock browser from CM 5.0.8, thinking there was a difference.
[Captivate General] :DookyFace::
When I still had my Dream a few weeks ago, I had CM6, and I couldn't stand the ADWLauncher they put on it, so I replaced it with the stock Launcher2.apk. First thing I did when I got my Captivate and rooted it was I replaced the TWLauncher apk with the stock eclair Launcher2.apk. It was totally baller
[Captivate General] amwbt:
Can you post links for these stock 2.1 apps? I would like to try them, but have no way of getting them.
[Captivate General] benclayton:
I must know where to acquire this Launcher2.apk you speak of.

Edit: If any of you would like the default Nexus One Launcher2.apk, with the 3D app drawer, confirmed working 100% on my Captivate, here it is.

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/01/22/install-launcher-apk-from-android-2-1-onto-2-0-1-2/

Sideload it onto your phone first, and try it, I'm not replacing TWLauncher with it just yet, but it seems like it'll happen eventually.
[Captivate General] Xceler8x:
I'm curious about this as well. I've followed the instructions but when I try to install the Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk via Astro or App Installer I get "Application not installed".

I've removed all remnants of TWCalendar and TWCalendarProvider. I've rebooted after every step. I've pushed the APK's to the sdcard. But still cannot install the stock 2.1 Calendar.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate General] psxstudio:
You also need to uninstall calendar related stuff from Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications (ie... com.android.calendar and com.android.calendar.provider). Reboot and install the stock calendar apps.

JB
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Does anyone know if the stock calendar will work with Exchange? I assume the sync componenent still works and the data is in the internal db - so the stock calendar should display it and phone number and url links should work.

Hopefully someone has tried this.
[Captivate General] d2010d:
I just installed the stock Calendar app and don't see an option to sync with Exchange Calendar. Without that I maybe restoring from backup. :(
[Captivate General] tzones:
hi

where did you get the stock calendar app?
[Captivate General] d2010d:
I used the apk's from cyanogenmod . com

CyanogenMod Forum> Downloads> Stable Mod> Nexus One

Nexus One update-cm-5.0.8-N1-signed.zip
[Captivate General] d2010d:
Also, the trick to getting the stock installed.

I used Titanium backup to uninstall Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk, reboot, then go to application management and delete com.android.calendar and com.android.calendar.provider... reboot, and then I copied the apks from sd to system/app with terminal Emulator.
[Captivate General] Ivizoid:
Is there a noob guide for this? Step by step? :D
[Captivate General] schtuka:
go to cyanogenmod site, forums, nexus stable mod, download nexus 508 mod.

open it with winrar or winzip or 7-zip

look for system/app and pull applications that you want to try. Try to push it via adb as explained before.

I just use Cajuninjection Music.apk which installs as regular apk
[Captivate General] ferman:
Alright guys i did this super easy!

1. Go to titanium backup find the mms app click on it and delete it from the popup window

2.get the MMS.apk from cm 5.0.8 for the nexus one

3 put mms.apk in your c directory

4. go to cmd and type "cd c:/android/tools" for your adb shell

5. type "adb push c:/mms.apk /system/app"

6. open astro on your phone go to /system/app find mms.apk click on it and click install and you now have it.

:)

Is there a way to save a scene on the Incredible? If that were possible, combined with Titanium Backup, it'd be completely painless to flash a new ROM or install the OTA and have your phone back to the way it was.

TIA.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Not that i know of. I wish i could help more, but i have been trying to remove sense since day one.

EDIT: i think you can, but im not sure. I think it prompts you when you select it.
[Droid Incredible General] French Toasted:
Do you mean the "scenes" as in ones you make yourself similar to the ones that are preloaded, like "work" "play" "social" etc.?

If so Click menu>scenes>save (option at bottom) The save option will only be there if the scene is new, and has not already been saved. Hope this helps
[Droid Incredible General] nyonya:
Thanks for the replies guys, that works fine for general saving of Scenes - but what if you flash a new ROM over your old one? Assuming it's still a Sense ROM, is there any way to then automatically go back to the way your homescreens were before? Similar to the way Titanium Backup can return all your apps to the exact way they were before the flash.

It seems like all my incoming calls are going straight to answerphone now, my phone never rings!!!

Switched to GSM, tried to call my mobile from my house phone and funny enough - answerphone again!!!

Does anyone else have this issue?

I swear orange didn't used to be like this and it seems to have got worse now Im using the desire
[Desire General] r2b2:
Try your SIM in another phone. Does it still happen?

If it doesn't it's just signal/coverage is low in that area.

If it does, try it when you're in another area? If it's still happening get Orange to check for a "Do Not Disturb" being active on your account.

Hope this helps.
[Desire General] Sideburnt:
theres a whole bunch of problems at the moment with Orange as they are merging with T-Mobile and there are technical steps being taken as part of that merger.

The signals Im finding are very unreliable, no problems with dropped calls (that I know of ) but my 3g is off every few days.

Orange arn't handling this very well from a customers point of view, no communications, no warnings of poor service.
[Desire General] kevinsmbuk:
Done a test and calls come through all ok when mobile data connection is off.

The phone doesn't like internet active whilst a call is coming in.

This is a possibly a mobile network error, whereby a service provider i.e. orange hasnt setup 'DTM' which handles your data connection and incoming calls by priority i.e. cutting internet off when a call comes in.

But then some have said on other phones using T-mobile or again orange (both not supporting DTM) calls have come through ok whilst actively using data connection i.e. downloading app.

I was on orange 2 months ago with a HTC touch HD and this did not happen at all.

So... It looks like it may be Eclair 2.1 which is the issue... IMO...

Perhaps Froyo will solve it...!
[Desire General] atomfix:
What radio version are you useing?
[Desire General] kevinsmbuk:
I'm using the Orange retail raped version rom, so whatever radio version comes with that.

Sorry don't know much about radio versions etc... how can I find out what one it is for you?
[Desire General] kevinsmbuk:
Done a couple more tests...

Settings - Wireless & Networks - Mobile Networks - Network Mode...

Now changed to WCDMA only, so now it's only using

Icon on phone

3G

3G+

i.e. HSPDA

Instead of this aswell:

G

i.e. 2G

Dropped calls have gone down somewhat as 3G has the ability to work with both data & voice at the same time depending on the class of the device.
[Desire General] JukeUK:
I suffer this as does my friend and he is on a different phone and os so its definitely a network issue.
[Desire General] biemsy:
Agreed, several people I know on Orange on various phones have been having trouble lately. And today people tell me they got an engaged tone, not even voicemail when they rang me. Definitely the network.

Yeah it looks like Beautiful Widgets.. just select the Beautiful Home Smaller instead of Beautiful home and it'll appear like that on the screenshot. And those numbered dots are apart of the launcher alternatives, there are settings in there to get rid of them or customize.
