I downloaded the droidxrootv2 zip file to my pc. The videos mention ADB what is this, and where do i get the drivers for it? Also is the wifi tether app named as such or is it called something else on marketplace? Thanks.

Hello, just made an app that allow users to toggle your favourite Home.

I just create a shortcut to the Home you want., just have a look at this Video, maybe that will be easier to understand:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMpONctP2F8

I found that Home switcher need such a feature, I contacted the dev, but doesn't want to work on something like that, so I did it myself!

Remarks:

* Cyrket description here

* Use the longpress on homescreen and create a shurtcut? If you launch the main app, the shortcuts will be created on ALL your Home! so you will need to delete some ;-)

Just tell me if you find that usefull or not!

Click for full size - Uploaded with plasq's Skitch

Changelog:

1.1: Now use the longpress on homescreen to add a shortcut. Will not be repeated on every Launcher like the main app.

1.01: major bug corrected with HTC Sense

1.0: First release
[Android Apps and Games] scintillahx:
thanks for the awesome work

it does pretty much what I expect it to do :)

but i wondered is there any easy way to change the defaults as well?
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
I will work on that, but not this week, I am really busy. Maybe next week.

While waiting, you can use HomeSwitcher in the Android Market.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I understand what it does, I just can't fathom why...
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
You can imagine having all your widget/apps for work on ADW, all you need for fun on LiveHomewith cool 3D transitions, all stuff for travel on LauncherPro..

Or just want to have a look at your Sense or Motoblur widget sometime because you miss them.

Or simply because you cannot make a choice between all them and want to try...

I don't know..

Some of my friends asked for this application and I made it for them. maybe some people here have the same needs... I don't earn money when you download it, I just want to share...
[Android Apps and Games] Skardy:
Thank you !

We love android thanks to people like you :D
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Options are always good, wasn't meaning to be disparaging ;)
[Android Apps and Games] angermeans:
I think it's a great idea downloading now. I'll try and come back with feedback. Now off to work.
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
And I forgot 2 essential reasons.. lol

* useless so you must have it! I don't know how to say that in English, but we have a french sentence that say("inutile donc indispensable!")

* showing all the iPhone users that Android is so customizable and that you can go to one configuration to a totally different one in one click!!

The only problem I found is that we cannot have different wallpapers on every launcher! That would be amazing.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
:) What I thought this was doing was "syncing" the multiple launcher programs.. ie: No setting up each individual one.
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Just made an update.

I am very excited for some features, because I am making something like the Sense Desktop.

This allow you to create different Homescreens with different wallpapers and icons.

Please send me feedback!

What's New?

You can now rename the Shortcut. ( and also changing icon in future donate version)

You can now change wallpapers for each Home

I hope this feature will allow people to create Theme like Sense ( one for work, for games, etc...

Possibility to make it the default home when you use a shortcut.

Unfortunately this will break the behavior of the Home button in home ( Expose on LauncherPro or getting back to default homescreen)

Hope you will love it.
[Android Apps and Games] solidkundi:
wow i've been looking for an app like this.. i seriously can't choose between them... here's a suggestion.. that will add a new level of convenience....

can you can create a shortcut (for example: Holding Vol Up and Pressing Home Button) to bring up Expose (similar to Launcher Pro's)... to change homescreen.... that'll be amazing....sorta like the "Panels" with xperia...
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
This app is awesome!!!!!

If anyone doesn't see the benefit this app brings to the table

then they don't need it! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Hooow.. Holy sh***.. That's a crazy Idea! I love it!

I really love this!.. Mhh so much work.... snif snif... :p

I will see if I can do that easily.

The only problem is that the list of installed home is really long to load. Wil need to think of a clever way to do this.
[Android Apps and Games] SigmunDroid:
I have an issue running

Motor Droid 1

Bugless beast v0.5

Stock kernel.

I cannot choose easy home as default.

I have to remake an icon from the app drawer and it lasts for about 30sec before force closing.

I also cannot get a wallpaper to stick when creating a complex shortcut following the directions to long press on the home screen...
[Android Apps and Games] thinhletien:
you guys can using Home switcher, this app very useful with widget in home screen to help u choose which home screen u wanna use.
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Yes, but this app as a totally different use! :p

1) You cannot create shortcuts in the LauncherPro/ADW Dock

2) You cannot assign a Wallpaper for each Home

These are the 2 importants features of EasyHome!
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
Should be fixed now.
[Android Apps and Games] willhemmens:

[Android Apps and Games] PollPixx:

[Android Apps and Games] willhemmens:
That worked, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Waza_Be:
I am thinking about removing it from the Market.. Too much people complain that that's a virus and do not work.

I tried it on 6 Android phones and that work flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] diehard2222:
Well dude people r dicks.
[Android Apps and Games] webjunky:
nah don't remove it , some ppl are sometimes just stupid ;) , but if you do could ppl from xda still download the apk here ?
[Android Apps and Games] Asphyx:
I like it, I don't really have a need for it but if you want suggestion one would be to map it a different key than the HOME key.

LP already maps long press and I really want my home button to take me back to the home screen and it won't with this installed.

perhaps a setting to map the key to something else could be added.
[Android Apps and Games] kudoboi:
wasnt thr a app like tht already?

[Vibrant General] pphi:
After I reboot my phone (which seems like often since something is always bugging out), my bluetooth pairings stop working. I have to delete the pairing and repair for it to work. This is true for both my Sony Ericsson watch & my car's BT system. Anyone else have this issue and is it easily fixable?
[Vibrant General] dwmmlm:
Similar issue. If I walk out of range it won't re-connect. I have to scan and connect again through the handset.

Hey yal. I'm at the cottage and want to upload some vids from the phone to YouTube. Problem is that the phone says I need a WiFi connection to upload "large" files. Had a look in the phone settings but couldn't find anything. Is there any way to bypass this limitation?

[Droid Incredible General] grimez:
I know this isn't exactly phone specific, but I have been reading a bit about impending data caps for Verizon's network. I have been enjoying my Wifi-Tether a lot lately without worrying about paying an absolute ridiculous amount for it. I have read in the past that a change in service allows you the opportunity to get out of your contract. Does anyone know if this is true or will apply if data caps are implemented?

Engadget Article

engadget.com/2010/07/20/verizon-switching-to-atandt-style-limited-data-plans-later-this-mo/

*Sorry I cant post links as of yet*
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
If the data caps/tiers happen, this is what will happen.

1) Current users who have the unlimited plan will keep it. You might lose it if you change phones, but if you don't change your plan, then you can probably keep unlimited, but I think if you make any changes to your plan, like number of minutes, texts, etc, you will lose the unlimited data.

2) New customers will have to get tiered plans.

If they forced current unlimited plan holders to change to tier plans, you would be able to get out of your contract ETF free. So to prevent this they will not do this if you have unlimited now. Many people would go to other networks besides ATT and Verizon where they can get unlimited data or cheaper rates.
[Droid Incredible General] adrynalyne:
Sure but you would most likely be grandfathered in, which means that it wouldn't matter. It also means you wouldn't be able to cancel without an etf.
[Droid Incredible General] djkms:
I have a family plan right now with 1400 minutes. On my next billing cycle I lowered the plan to 700 minutes (effective August 3rd). So what your saying is if they implement the new data plans before my next billing cycle I will lose unlimited data? Can anyone confirm this?
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
I don't think you should be worried. This tiered data plan isn't even confirmed by verizon yet. Nobody really has solid information on what could happen.
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
Correct me if i'm wrong, but because you signed a contract previous to when this happened..you will have available all options that you signed at the time-including minutes, txt, etc. The changed plan does not go into effect until you resign your contract.

This kind of thing happened when they forced everyone to choose either a 9.99 internet plan for dumbphones and 29.99 internet for smartphones regardless of they wanted internet or not. Those who had current contracts at the time were not affected. I guess I will just buy phones at off contract prices when my time is up so I can avoid signing a capped contract.
[Droid Incredible General] grimez:
My guess is, after your current contract expires you will be forced into a tiered data plan, even if you are paying month to month with no changes.
[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
When I switched my family from Sprint to Verizon, no internet fee was required for any of the phones (in fact, I had to ASK for unlimited data or else my Incredible wouldn't have had it). I don't know if I lucked out or not, but this was done by a manager and I certain hope said manager continues to work there and save me money =p.
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
Problem is that Verizon's previous actions in cases such as this contradict that assumption. It is far more probable that the tiered data will only come into play when a new contract is signed- such as what transpired with 3G "multimedia" phones.
[Droid Incredible General] kentoe:
That's interesting because all the smartphones now require unlimited data plan. Maybe it was assumed for your contract? :confused: That would have been odd for you to get no data plan lol
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
No because you already agreed to the contract before hand. When you changed your plan minutes, you agreed to everything that was within that agreement at that time. They cannot change it now.
[Droid Incredible General] alexdw369:
I don't think minor changes within your plan (even phone upgrades) will constitute losing your unlimited given we are grandfathered in...

For example...my mom had a $14.99/450-minute plan probably...12 years or so ago...she didn't lose it until about 2007 when she upgraded to a family share plan to add my dad and sister. During that time she had upgraded her phone a few times and added a text package without losing her base minute package.

I think we'll be ok....but I have my fingers crossed :-\
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
Damnnnnnn. I was twelve then...i thought there was only beepers then...haha
[Droid Incredible General] alexdw369:
Haha I remember it being some POS AudioVox with tiny little useless calculator-like screen and big antenna :-)
[Droid Incredible General] endokun83:
The only reason you would lose the unlimited plan is if you removed the phone from that line and activated it on another, it's a grandfathered feature that runs independent of the calling plan. Meaning if you change the base rate you can continue on unlimited data. And yes, I work for Verizon
[Droid Incredible General] kyle1745:
Even the current "unlimited" is truly not unlimited. I do believe there is a 5gb cap but you have to cross it a couple of months in a row before you hear about it.

All carriers are going to tiered models and for the average user it will save them money. I forget which carrier released the information but the average smartphone users only uses like 200mb a month. So for these users their rates may go down if they picked up a 200mb or 500mb plan. The power users will stick with the same thing they have but the cap will be official now.

So in short from what I have read really not much of a change from the current unless you are looking for a cheaper plan because of your usage.
[Droid Incredible General] qmartman711:
this should clear up some stuff for now.. it looks like we are good..atleast till LTE comes out:)!

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/verizon-wireless-no-big-rush-to-tiered-data-plans-for-now/37147
[Droid Incredible General] TNS201:
It is a 5gb cap, but they wont pursue bothering you unless they can tell you are tethering. If you legitly use that much on your phone, you have nothing to worry about.
[Droid Incredible General] manatti:
The only thing changing right now is the hotspot and mbb connect plans to the 2 gbfor 20.00 the smartphone plans Stays unlimited . Nothing has been mentioned on going tiered smartphone a la iPhone .
[Droid Incredible General] two_cents:
trust me it would have been on your bill and it wouldn't have been the cheap version... I tried to get my omnia with no data because I could just block internet connection on my motorola Q and not have any charges but they do no allow this anymore with the new smartphones

but eventhough I figured out a way to order it online without having to agree to a data plan the bill showed up with a 52/mo charge for corporate unlimited data... I called them and they said oh our mistake we should have charged you for the 30/mo... they just tried to pull a fast 12 bucks off of me but I actually read my bill

[Desire Accessories] mvmpy:
In the search of a nice pouch-case with a belt clip for my Desire, I see most of the nice leather cases are Flip Style.

So I wounder (since I lack of imagination) how does this type of case work in the every day use.

Do you have to flip and fold the front panel to answer a call? Does it botter having it on your ear? I really like the Piel Frama, but it just dosen´t look practicle.

I really would apreciate any input. Thanks.
[Desire Accessories] angler:
I am using Noreve. The case looks good and fit Desire perfectly.
[Desire Accessories] mvmpy:
Thanks Angler, those cases really look nice. So my question is, isn´t that flip, hanging down when open and answering calls, unconfortable???
[Desire Accessories] manny calavera:
How about a "slide case", such as this one?

You just pull the tab and out comes the phone, so no dangling flap. I've got one, it's surprisingly snug yet easy to use.

Obviously your phone will not be protected for the duration of the phone, but it is better protection when the phone is not being used - which is when these things crash into pavements anyway.
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
That's the one I'm using right now, HTC optional pouch... got it from expansys.
[Desire Accessories] mvmpy:
Yeap I was looking at that one too, but I missed the belt clip. My last phone was a HTC Kaiser witch came with a Pouch case for the belt.

But I supose, to keep thins good looking and simple, I will go with that one or maybe with this one
[Desire Accessories] angler:
Yes, the case cover can be flipped to the back when answer call without problem because of the soft leather "hing" between the cover and the perfect-fit phone leather resin. You can also place the case vertically or horizontally with the belt clip.
[Desire Accessories] mvmpy:
Hi Angler,

thank you for pointing me out to Noreve. I got this pouch with a extra heavy duty clip. Its really great, even more I expected. So thank you very much.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] dandog96:
I just bought an Sprint Htc mogul off of ebay. It was a good $30 bucks cheaper than a Verizon Mogul. WORST regret of my life. I thought I could just buy it, unlock it (which I did), and write the ESN (I have been spending hours on end trying to do this). :( I REALLY need help changing the esn to another phone, because Im going on vacation in about a week, and I dont have time to purchase another phone off of Ebay. My goal is to get this phone working on the Verizon Network. I have tried using CDMA workshop to change the esn, no luck, even after entering the correct SPC. I have tried to use CDMA workshop on another computer to and it still doesnt work. Other things ive tried to do: use QXDM to try to change the esn in the NV browser but it wont let me because its read only, I have tried to use EFS explorer to also get into the NVM folder and change the ESN, AND i've probabley tried to do something else I cant remember. :D PLEASE help if you can ,I need this working by next week. I know esn changing is usually illegal, but not in this case as I own the smartphone I want to clone, and I do not plan to do anything bad with this. Thank You

[Vibrant General] Homotechual:
I finally got Facebook to sync with my Vibrant, but what's the point of linking with your contacts if you can't message or view someones profile from their contact name? I was able to on my N1 am I just not looking in the right spot?
[Vibrant General] Homotechual:
anyone know?
[Vibrant General] miclflores:
How did you get them to sync? I am still unable to sync my Facebook contacts. Setup up the sync just like on other android phones. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I have noticed that this phone has some issues with syncing info from facebook and twitter at times. The best way to confirm this is to go to your "accounts & sync" settings and see if any accounts have failed to sync. There is another issue which could be happening. Depending on how your individual contacts have set up their facebook privacy settings, you may or may not be able to see their info. Since facebook's recent security debacle, they have included a lockdown option for all applications and websites. Many facebook users have since opted not to allow any external apps to use their info. If that is the case with one of your contacts, you will not be able to see their stuff using your contacts no matter how you've set it up. So it's completely dependant on how your friends set up their privacy in facebook. This is why you may notice you can see some peoples photos and not their status updates or visa versa. If you have not allowed facebook to use external apps and websites in your own facebook account, you will not be able to sync your phone with facebook at all. Go to the facebook website and make sure you have allowed use of platform applications in your privacy settings. Sorry for the long reply but there are a few factors working together here. good luck.

Hi

I would like to permanentely hide the new email message icon in the Today notification bar.

The reason is that I am tracking messages using the Samsung widget (with counters). In addition, I might read/delete the email from a PC/Outlook and the notification icon is just not up-to-date anymore and does not disappear automatically in that case. So I do not need it and would like to always having it hidden. Any registry setting available for this. Did not found it until now.

Thanks for support!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] karmakuma:
I don't own an Andorid phone yet. And from what I was reading thus far, it seems that android and its apps generate quite a lot more data-traffic than a 'plain ol' WinMo device used for some e-mail and calendar sync.

Now since in Switzerland unlimited GSM data contracts are way too expensive, I am looking for a 100-250megs/month plan but am not sure at all if this will be sufficient for daily use.

What is your guess, except Webbrowsing, how much traffic do you generate a month?
