[Vibrant General] bellrb19:
There is no option to do this. Big oversight on Samsung's part. Coming from a G1 where I could sync a specific list this is a step back. Hoping they add this to their update.
[Vibrant General] floepie:
See that's what I don't understand coming from the iphone. Isn't there a stand-alone contacts app that can properly sync with Gmail's 'My Contacts'?
[Vibrant General] caldjeff:
I'm as flabbergasted as the rest of you all. This is the one aspect of TouchWiz that so far feels like a huge step backward from G1. Maybe some don't like the auto-sync to the cloud aspect, but for me it was a huge selling point of Android as I didn't have to hook it up to any computer and it was always in sync with my online address book. This is just lame.
[Vibrant General] floepie:
Do any of you with more Android experience see this to be corrected in an impending update, possibly before 2.2?
[Vibrant General] crxforya:
I was able to change mine throug display options, listing google and phone, and selecting only contacts w/ #'s and mine works great!!!
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
You might try a third-party app in the Market called Contacts Evolved. It does not replace the brain-dead Samsung/T-Mobile Contacts app, which cannot be uninstalled. But Contacts Evolved can be used as an alternate user interface.

The advantage is that the Groups from Google's Gmail contacts are displayed, and the contacts are segregated by group into handy tabs. (The syncing done by the native app seems to pulls down the Groups data element, but that app ignores it.)

One downside is that Contacts Evolved seems a little buggy. There are some force-close issues.

I didn't find a dedicated Moment forum here, so I'm just putting this out there.

Is there a way to root the Moment? Where can I find out? And is it strictly necessary to root in order to remove pre-installed apps like Youtube?
[HTC Aria General] michaelb420:
when i try to mount a file i get an error that goes "Could not find a part of the path c:\users\michael\desktop\payload\to_install.apk" anyone know what could have started causing this?
[Desire General] xmoo:
I'm going to use my Desire for some project.

So the phone will be in hand of other people.

I don't want them do abuse it, so I want the add the HTC Watermark on the screen.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Or does anyone have a update.zip what does that.
[Desire General] xmoo:
no one knows???
[Desire General] cjm1979:
I saw a post somewhere that udK removed the watermark for one of his roms so matbe if you PM him he will know how to get it back on.
[Desire General] xmoo:
Already did :P Also PM'd Paul from Modaco, but havn't heard from them, so tought someone else would know.
[Desire General] xmoo:
Still no response :(
[Desire General] Vorbeth:
Let me get this right, you want to advertise you have something you should not?

So you want to show off really...

Anyhow, look in the framework files of the 2.04 leak, the toggle for displaying it and the required png files are in that.
[Desire General] xmoo:
It is for app developing at my university. I don't want my classmates to do somethin with my phone that I don't like.... that's why I want the watermark for. Cause sometimes I have to share my phone!
[Desire General] jayshah:
Like what, exactly?
[Desire General] AndroHero:
what is the watermark going to do tho? all it does is display htc classified on the screen :confused:
[Desire General] Vorbeth:
I'm curious too, Watermark does nothing but give bragging right's, they can still do anything they like.

I would be very cautious parading a phone around in public with HTC Confidential plastered all over it.

If you want to mark it as your own, just change the build.prop, put your own name in.
[Desire General] xmoo:
I don't know if you guys know my history here at xda... if i wanted to brag... ima get me a real prototype ;) please know who you talking to.

Thx.

And let stay on topic. ;)
[Desire General] AndroHero:
we dont know ur history thats cuz ur no1 lol u still didnt answer the question? apart from displaying a watermark what do you hope to acheve by restoring it? it wont stop anyone making changes to your device :rolleyes: plus if you was all you claimed to be you would now how to restore it yourself lol
[Desire General] xmoo:
Htc does it for the tester to them not show the phone to other. I want to do the same ish, so they won't show the apps to other classmates or put screenshots online.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
but its not going to stop people doing either :confused: heres a picture of the htc watermark off the Incredible, thats all it does display that, if wont stop people showing it about or taking pictures just make your desire look like a prototype :p
[Desire General] xmoo:
Yes, this way I know it's my device ;)

And uhmmm I don't know if ur stupid or not well informed.

But the Prototype HTC Bravo's are colord black ;)
[Desire General] cjm1979:
If your oh-so worried about the phone and people messing with it or stealing your ideas and posting screen shots, why the hell would you hand it out?? Tell them to get there own f@!king phone.
[Desire General] xtcislove:
He never know this on his own :D You helped us all!

Maybe you can Make 2 Nandroid Backups 1 with Superuser.apk and one without. So they cant really make changes to your device. If u have your phone back u can Restore your own Nandroid backup.

maybe u can delete Market (Vending.apk) and the packageInstaller so they cant install Apps (Screenshotapps for example)
[Desire General] xmoo:
Cause the app dev is with groups. And I don't think they will abuse... but just in case...
[Desire General] xmoo:
Good idea but this was they can still make pics with like other cellphone/camera. I just want a watermark over it. I don't care if it has htc in it or **** you in it....
[Desire General] mayad79:
I can vouch for his work. Invaluable for porting Android OS to non native devices.

His reasons are his own. If you don't know the answer, don't waiste time.

[G1 General] asb123:
Hey, just to let you guys know if you did not already but the Google Nexus one will no longer be available from google. I know that many of us g1 users are/were thinking about this phone as the replacment for our great htc dreams. It will now sell exclusively from vodaphone. That means no chance to buy one (not second hand) in Canada (and I believe the states either).

You can see for your self at

www.google.com/phone

this sucks because I cannot buy it in Canada :mad: AND this will now drive the craigslist prices up!
[G1 General] can teh man:
This is a really strange move on Google's part, to sell exclusively in Europe.
[G1 General] asb123:
I know, perhaps they are working on more deals with carriers in Canada and the US.
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
It's still available through Google as the ADP3.
[G1 General] asb123:
Thats for registered devs though right...
[G1 General] JAguirre1231:
Yes.

Pretty sure you can pay the $25 registration fee and then buy the phone, I'm PRETTY sure you do not need to post an app to the market first.
[G1 General] sergioiacobucci:
do you get it at a discounted rate?
[G1 General] themapleboy:
i highly doubt they would charge you $25 and then give you a discount,

it's a shame i would have loved to see wind mobile pick up the nexus one (because it "can't" support the iphone) and then crush their competition
[G1 General] asb123:
I am just waiting for the first canadian carrier to show us that they actually CARE about bringing in the big androids under their names.

Its a huge pissoff that no carriers try to sign the big name phones.

There is no nexus one, no evo, no droid x, no galaxy s, no mtslide. no vibrant, no cliq

WTF do they want me to buy, an x10...

or a legend (they seriously act like the legend is a top notch phone)

desire in?

i have a leather pouch for mine as does my son but my wife has one of these flip type wallets that the desire clips into and i must say i quite like it.

also do you use a screen protector (plastic film thing) again both myself and my sone does but my wife has choose not too, her screen coulours are more vibrant than ours, are there any benefits for me to peel mine off?

thanks
[Desire Accessories] str355:
mine's in a gel case with a screen protector (the gel case goes in a neoprene android case when i chuck it in my gym bag).

still perfect after nearly 4 months :)
[Desire Accessories] korokor:
Just a leather pouch for me. Tried screen protectors when I first got the phone but never looked right to me. Still in perfect condition after two months.
[Desire Accessories] samjpullen:
mine is nude with no screen protector at all, still looks brand new :)

No need for a case if you look after your stuff properly and don't throw it around.

Same as my Hero, never had a case, sold it in super mind condition, the new owner was like are you sure you had this for 10 months!.
[Desire Accessories] roscoe141:

[Desire Accessories] UKseagull:
I use a Gel case and screen protector. I find the gel case quite beneficial, the rubberised material makes it more grip-able and I'm less likely to drop it. Also I can prop the Desire against the car dash when using GPS navigation and it doesn't move as much as it would without the gel case. :)
[Desire Accessories] Meaple:
I've had mine for like a month and still in excellent condition. Not a scratch on it. Thought of getting a case for it but thought not to get one. Just been careful with it by not putting other things into my pockets, etc. Shame that I didn't get a case with it like my Touch Diamond

Don't use a screen protector, use an old slip cover/sleeve for an ancient organiser I had laying around for additional protection in the pocket and a decent lens cloth to keep the screen clean. Got mine on day one (March 27th) and it still looks new.

In G1 Offical Pouch, Ordered http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/Leather-Case...m&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_216&hash=item19bd412bc2

should be coming soon..... have a screen protector... i hate protectors but im criminally careless with my phone so i rather have a protector.

i hate gel cases..... i love the 'naked' feel of a unprotected phone casing so i just slot it in a pouch

bought my G1 a leather flip case which was very very nice... other then the fact that it made it super thick slightly harder to use..... in the end after i dropped my G1 enough of times i carried it around naked(the phone not me) with a badly damaged screen protector.... poor G1

hopefully this pouch will protect the phone from my rough hands

Hello, I use a screen protector from Vikuti (very happy with it, perfect sense when multitouch etc), but I don´t know what to put at the rear part, because I have the Mugen Power 3200mAh battery with their special cover, and I can´t find any cover or silicone etc that can fit, can you help me about this?

I have the version with the 1024 meg ROM. Couldn't it be possible to boot android from the internal memory while still keeping the WM file system intact?

I think that would address many of the issues with battery drain. I understand we still need WM to boot to initialize some parts of the hardware, but that seems like it would be a much faster way to run android.

Thoughts?

Hi, well. here goes.

I bought a blackstone from someone in Cyprus. It had been dammaged. Both the screen digitizer and the LCD display looked like cracked Ice.

Bought replacements. Stripped phone, replaced broken bits.then re fitted it all. Phone now boots and asks for a password to unlock to use.

Now we all know this may mean something. But let's not go there! I am sure it is a genuine sale..

Anyway, As this is locked and has a Spanish rom installed & I cannot access because of the lack of software to sync the phone. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to help with the ongoing upgrade flashing etc?

The phone shows on bootloader the following SPL-1.14.0000

Micro Blackstone LED V6

On the black boot up screen after the logo. It shows R104.25.14

What all this means is beyond me.

All I would like is to see the desktop and use the phone.

Can anyone help by pointing me to the things I need and software to sync & flash the phone.

Any help would be greatfully appreciated..

Thanks.

Hey folks,

I ported the Desire Espresso Bar from here when I couldn't find a working port that wasn't already made:

[MOD] Sense UI MOD - ExpressoBar - xda-developers

To the Dinc.

Note, while all versions are here, I have not tested the Froyo or pre-OTA versions, but others have.

Instructions to install:

1. Be rooted. Duh!

2. Put zip on sd card.

3. Install via rom manager, or reboot to clockwork and choose install zip from sdcard. Pretty much self explanatory from there.

Back up just in case.

I am not a themer, so this is as-is.
