You can also an app for changing the calendar colors, just search for "slintes" in market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] down8:
Get Pocket Informant from the Market. You can change your Exchange calendar color & uninstall - the new color will persist.

[Desire General] Jedipottsy:
Hi,

i like alot of the roms, however they come pre-installed with apps like rom manager, or flash i use these apps, but they fail to update. How can i remove these apps from a rom before flashing? Ive tried using titanium backup to uninstall but the phone reboots (no /system rw?)

thanks

(im using ubuntu and windows 7 64bit)
[Desire General] cgrec92:
remove them in adb

or download a rom, remove them, sign it and flash
[Desire General] ruffruff:
download the andriod kitchen.

use the kitchen to extract the files and remove those apks that you don't want.

then repack the zip using the kitchen and flash it.

just do a search on xda and you will find the android kitchen.
[Desire General] lambrospower:
i will agree with the kitchen too :P i am using it today and i am amazed of what you can do....

in addition you can just open the rom in winrar, go to /system/app and just delete the apps you don't want the rom will update itself!!!

then on your phone you should toggle the signed verification and install it
[Desire General] sckc23:
is there any other file i need to delete or just the .apk? and would you mind telling me what addition features does the kitchen offer?

thanks in advance=)
[Desire General] lambrospower:
if the rom is odexed you should delete the .odex file too....it should be below the .apk

the kitchen has anything you want to do with a rom.....zipalign, a2sd, busybox and you can edit any file from the rom.....!!!!
[Desire General] sckc23:
Thanks! would def try out the kitchen when new roms are out=)
[Desire General] lambrospower:
i really recommend it to you to start NOW :P you can customize the rom as you like at every possible way.....even ringtones, languages, alarm sound by default, images, colours, apps, bootanimation and everything

you will need much reading though especially when customizing framework
[XPERIA X10 General] jballi:
I would like to use my X10 with Movistar Mexico, if fact everything (included the internet) it working, the only problem is the MMS configuration.

Anyone in Mexico with a solution for this problem?, or anyone with sugesttions?

I know that I have to create an APN for the internet and for the MMS, what I don`t know is if this 2 profiles has to be together or separeted.

Also I found that the "automatic configuration" is off, I mean, I can`t access it, maybe because Telcel blocked it.

Any ideas?

Regards

Jaime

dude,, this is a PITA,, I did,, was about 1hour, the hardest part,, is to not put the fingers on the LCD and cleaning the new screen..... dust particles everywhere... and at the end still got one... :mad:
[HTC Aria General] dreamflux:
Sorry eortizr, If I made it seem easier than it was. I spent quite a while cleaning the lcd screen when I replaced the digitizer... I don't think it's possible to change the digitizer without getting fingerprints on it though. But with some diligence and working in a clean area, I was able to keep all dust and finger prints out of the final product.
[HTC Aria General] action_efn_jackson:
My wife dropped hers. Cracked up pretty good but still functional. Think I might just go ahead and pay the $100 and have someone who does it for a living do it.

I can totally see me trying DIY concentrating real hard dripping sweat all over it and ruining the MB. LOL
[HTC Aria General] jrckt320:
Replaced the screen today. Half way in I thought I definitely bit off more than I could chew. I got it done though. A couple of things I learned:

The digitizer unplugs away from you or toward the screen with the phone laying flat (screen down and the top facing away from you). I kept thinking i had to unplug it by pulling it north, toward the top of the phone.

I dropped and threw away both the front speaker and the very small rubber piece that covers the proximity sensor so... when I turned the phone on everything looked good, until I answered my phone. The screen went blank and I couldn't hear anything. I found the speaker and the proximity sensor cover and replaced them.

I would do it again, its worth saving $50 or so.

Thanks for the tutorial dreamflux.

I found the whole kit including the adhesive here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180643624141

This is the seller in case the sale ends and the link breaks: http://myworld.ebay.com/chinaphoneaccessories/?_trksid=p4340.l2559
[HTC Aria General] ColonelPan1c:
I found a replacement digitizer from tmart dot com for $55, free shipping. Just search Aria on their site, you'll find it. Sorry, I can't seem to post links yet.

What was peculiar, was that it has only the HTC logo in the center, and no ATT logo. Looks nice and clean. They included plastic separator tools and torx drivers, though nothing in this phone uses torx. The site is a little shady, and while their headquartered in Hong Kong, it shipped from Brooklyn NY about 5 days after purchase, priority mail. The swap wasn't bad, but my only complaint is that the lights from the softkeys seem to shine up onto the screen, but you get used to it. It's probably because I didn't transfer the stickers over on the bottom of the digitizer.
[HTC Aria General] jsmasterson:
Thanks for the directions ... I just replaced my digitizer. I had 2 major problems: 1) my power button doesn't work any longer (I'm going to take it apart and try to put it back together and see if that fixes it), and 2) you HAVE to use BLACK sticky stuff to seat the bottom of the digitizer - I used the clear stuff that came with the digitizer, and now I have tons of light bleeding into the LCD from the button backlights. I'm not sure what to do about the bleed ... I guess I'll have to tear it down again and put black stuff in ... damn.
[HTC Aria General] Steepedintruth:
That's the deal with that excess backlighting! I thought it was just a matter of the screen being misaligned. Terrible that I have to replace that black foam, it got shredded while I was dismantling the thing to replace the digitizer.
[HTC Aria General] decatursloth:
its always suggested to work in a dust-free space but we all know that's virtually impossible.
[HTC Aria General] vis0nz:
I had a bit of fun with dust & fingerprints when replacing my LCD after getting my Aria, After a time or two of taking apart and being unsuccessful, I left it as is with one visible flake.
[HTC Aria General] jlayton15:
If you take a hot shower the steam in the air sticks to dust particles leaving no dust :)
[HTC Aria General] dust906:
aria

use electrical tape to cover up the lighting that comes through the digitizer

use 3m double sided tape to hold digitizer to lcd

use rubber gloves to change screen to not get finger prints on it
[HTC Aria General] t!g3rbl00d:
*Just to make sure I'm putting the electrical tape on correctly*

put the double sided tape on and then put the electrical tap (sticky side facing up) on top of the ds tape then apply the screen to the lcd
[HTC Aria General] WithAria:
Thanks for the explanation dreamflux.. This, along with some youtube videos helped me out to change the digitizer, but patience is THE key...
[HTC Aria General] brivette007:
Brought my phone with me to Cedar Point the other day. Survived the entire day....until I stopped at the bars on the way home. Got out of the car, forgetting I had my phone on my lap---shattered right by the track pad.

Just got my digitizer today for $22 on ebay (not bad) After 2 hours and a migraine later, everything came out great.

The only 2 things wrong now are the light from the softkeys bleeding onto the screen and out the sides (I'm just going to shut those lights off), and the trackpad sits a little lower than the screen now. Either I didn't align it right, or the glue isn't holding well. It's weird, if you press on the glass anound the trackpad, it wakes the phone (cm7 trackpad wake).

I only plan on using the phone for a few more months, so I'm happy with the results.
[HTC Aria General] msailer:
Uhhggg, did the replacement on my son's Aria. It wasn't so bad, but now the LCD screen doesn't light.

I get the vibration when you first hit the power button. Is this correct? I'm not too familiar with the phone. :(

Rececked the connector for the LCD and it seems to be snapped in.
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
did you have any problems with the digitizer responsivenes or something like that? I'm need one and curious about the quality of the cheap digitizers in ebay.
[HTC Aria General] jdmsohc22:
so I replaced my friends screen and now the phone turns on, has sound, vibrates, but just doesnt turn the screen on... the light sensor works and all, and if I call it, it rings and everything, just the screen won't turn on it stays black... I've checked the 2 ribbons and everything is fine, anyone have a suggestion..??
[HTC Aria General] jdmsohc22:
so what I meant was the digitizer turns on, but it is just a dark lit screen, no visual anything going on.. If i call it from another phone it will ring, but when i swipe right to left to answer and press around where the answer button is it doesn't respond either, just rings and rings... anyways just wanted to elaborate a little more..

same thing is happening with me as well..
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
^^^^ Soooooo.....I got the same thing on my wife phone, the BLACK SCREEN. I did my homework and read and watched videos on how to replace the digitizer. I was in a steamy room with all my tools from work with pre-cut electrical and .005" double sticky tape. im a mechanical assembler. I did everything to the tee and was very carefull. i think i got a bunk one from china. I bought mine for $19 from china. It had at&t logo and everything. you get what you pay for? So I've got to pay now $50 for a replacement phone through ins. Not bad because before i made the claim i thought the replacement was $150. :confused: Anyways just a heads up. Now i got a phone of spare parts :D Whats cool is that i get to root her phone all over again. So if anyone here has had the black screen. let me know what happened next with your situation. Did you fix it? replaced it with another one? thanks
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
are you 100% sure that you've not covered the light sensor from the top right corner?

also check very carefully the digitizer cable itself. it tends to break in a second.
[HTC Aria General] tommyguns818:
^^Yes.. unfortunately both things were checked upon. Oh well...my wife loves here new aria replacement....the captivate. Thanks though.
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
this worries me since I've also ordered a digitizer from ebay, and all the sellers were from Hong Kong, so it's seems that no one offered any difference.

well, worth a try. and if you got nothing to do with the dead Aria... I'd be more then willing to help ;)
[HTC Aria General] JdgM3NT4L:
I just succesfully replaced the digitizer on an Aria that a friend gave me.

The digitizer that I bought came straight out of San Antonio, Texas.

It works great. Just be sure to use the white plastic piece from the old one and you'll notice some black tape on the old one as well. Just below the 'home, back, settings and search icons, but on the inside. Place some black tape on the new one in the same areas. As far as the black sticky stuff goes, make sure your hands are clean and harvest it from the old one as well. It easily rolls out (like play dough) to be reused. No light bleed here.

On a side note. I passed on the Aria when it was first introduced, waited and got an Atrix. That said, I now think that I certainly could have got by with this great little phone. I am thoroughly impressed with the quickness of this little guy. Of course it has 2.3.4 CM7 on it and that has to help.

Thanks all for the info. This thread helped greatly.
[HTC Aria General] StevetotheH:
You should never take one of these apart with out a static wrist strap.

If you take these apart without grounding yourself and pull the LCD connector

you can fry the LCD and there goes another $60 and time doing it again.

If you've taken your phone apart with out a static wrist strap and have not fried your phone your just lucky.

To not get finger prints on your device there is this special set of equipment that you can buy from the dollar store called latex rubber gloves.

As far as "the black sticky stuff" goes its called digitizer tape and should not be reused unless you want to pop your screen out of your device next time you drop it. Or just as bad your going to get all kinds of dust in between the digitizer and LCD if it's not sealed all the way around the digitizer. They make pre-cut pieces for this device, Ebay, like $2.50. If you can't find pre-cut just type "Digitizer tape" into ebay and you should find the stuff.

Common sense goes a long way.

[HTC Aria General] rodinhas:
Hello,

I' ve replaced my Liberty (here is Gratia) screen with one from China too, and every thing is working fine but the light sensor seems to be miss-aligned.

I mean, when receiving a call, I can see all and answer, after answering the screen goes black and after this I cannot end the call and have to wait for the caller to end the call.

The screen only turns "on" again if I put the phone near a big source of light powerfull lamp or direct sun light.

How to solve this?

Any opinion?
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
I don't think the problem is with the light sensor but with the proximity sensor which is right next to it.

If you'll notice there is a small rubber gasket that hides part of the sensor, it's very easy to lose it when replacing the digitizer if you don't know that it's loose.

you can download an app called AndroSensor from the market and open it. When it does locate the value of the proximity sensor. Move your finger to and from the right upper corner of the phone with the phone facing you. The value should change from 0.0 to 3.5 back and forth. if it doesn't then you have to check if you've put the gasket on the proximity sensor.
[HTC Aria General] rodinhas:
Yes, thats it!

The value goes 0.0 to 0.4 if I press hard on the right on the sensor (right upper corner).

As I dont have the gasket, what should I do?

Is it possible to disable the proximity sensor?
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
how can you be sure you don't have the gasket? maybe you didn't put adhesive in the right places?

anyway :

[HTC Aria General] kunal.ghogale:
Hey guys,

My phone screen is cracked and all local cell phone repair shops around NYC say cost of replacing is north of $200. I am thinking of replacing it myself. How easy or hard is it to DIY?

Anyone who has done it?

Thanks,

Kunal
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
if you read the threads a bit, and look at the videos you will see it's not that hard.

A new digitizer costs about $20 max so it's really better to replace it yourself. You will need some tools.
[HTC Aria General] bob332:
i just did this, followed the multitude of manuals and the digitizer doesn't work most of the time or is way off - you can't even get to the screen to re-align the screen. one question i have that may have caused this issue - when i was ready to put the digitizer back on, there is what looks like a piece of plastic that would be on the inside of the digitizer - is this for protection or should i have left it on there?

my reason for asking is because this was a very easy fix compared to other stuff i do - smd design and prototype assembly, have a hot air station, have no issues assemblying down to 0402 components and leadless packages. so i am wondering if that internal 'shield' should have come off? as the phone is currently useless.

thanks in advance,

bob
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
There shouldn't be anything underneath the digitizer except for adhesive (around the edges) as far as I know... so I don't think you made a mistake. The only idea I would have is to make sure the digitizer connector isn't loose or something.
[HTC Aria General] bob332:
sounds good, will verify the connector did go in ok when i take it apart a bit later tonight :).
[HTC Aria General] CaptainMaki:
I know what plastic shield you are talking about. I don't think it's an issue. I replaced the digitizer with and without this plastic shield on the chip.

Just make sure everything is connected before you close the phone and test it while it's open. You may just got a bad digitizer.
[HTC Aria General] bob332:
Excellent to hear. Thought I was going to get to this last night but things never go as planned. Hopefully soon :). Thanks for the info, appreciate it greatly

Hi all,

One of the many hats I have for my company is a mobil deployment tech. I just got a demo Droid X unit and have been playing with it for a couple of days. I'm having some issues with the mail client notifications and delivery though. It seems like I don't get notifications unless I have the phone on and the mail client open. Also it seems a little slow in getting email in general. This is with an exchange account. Push is turned on. I wanted to see what other's experiences were along these lines? Is this par for the course?

Found that turning the phone to performance mode fixes this for some people. Other option is to use a different email client.

Hello Guys,

So I'm on Simple Mobile (on t-mobile network) and I activated mobile internet soon as I got my vibrant. Before, I used wi-fi and everything worked well. But when I enabled mobile internet (My provider gave me settings for G1 & G2. I thought that it would be good enough for my vibrant), I faced these problems

*The default web browser won't connect to internet

*Other applications seem to work fine

*I can browse android market but any downloads I make are unsuccessful.

Its just so weird that some apps are able to connect to internet and some don't. Is this a known issue or is it something with the settings I got from my provider?

any help/comments would be appreciated!
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Different apps probably communicate on different ports. I know when I got mine from T-Mobile the rep had to edit my account to add the Android data plan even though I already had unlimited data he just needed to change the provisioning. The only reason I can think of is that maybe it unlocked different ports.

I also just started having problems with all the browsers. Running Superfly 1.3 Froyo and none of the browsers will connect. Tried Opera, Steel, Dolphin/Dolphin HD, stock and a couple of others. And no, I don't have them all installed at the same time. Starts loading then kicks back to the home screen. Cleared caches and problem still remains. Any suggestions other than a full wipe. All other apps seem to run fine.

I know that will probably be what happens but I can hope. Hate the thought of setting up the phone again with over a hundred apps.

idkidk, hope you don't mind me tacking on to your post, was searching & ran across it. Hopefully we both get fixed.
