[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
I downloaded Titanium back up free edition from Market and when I go to the Backup/Restore and refresh apps- they dont show me ATT stuff.. why is that?

I am trying to remove the ATT bloatware.

I am a root. I am not sure If I have busy box installed.

I have voodoo lag fix currently installed along with onclick root.

Please help

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] sschrupp:
Did you do the official AT&T update either OTA or using Kies? I used to be able to uninstall the ATT bloatware, but now I can't seem to do it. Like you, it's not shown in Titanium Backup. The only thing I can think of is that the OTA patch disabled it.

I'm still searching the forums here to find an answer but no luck so far.

[Android Apps and Games] velcrobandits:
Please bear with me since I understand this is a noob question, but a google search revealed no such topics... I have dl'd several task managers on my newly installed Android 2.2 (thanks to a wonderful xda developer) and I kill tasks to free memory on my device. However, it seems that if I open an app during any given time use of Android, those processes never fully terminate. This includes Google Voice, Maps, News & Weather, Meebo and Voice Search (which might be a system thread or w/e and I am ok with that) among many other apps. Is there a way to permanently kill these apps? Thank you for your help and patience.

EDIT: Just want to add that I use the back button to exit apps most times cuz I read thats the proper way to do it.
[Android Apps and Games] yermah1986:
Don't bother, Android is not like a desktop OS where running too many applications runs down the available memory to the point where the OS slows down. Android is clever in that it will take memory claim memory back from running applications if they are not in focus. This is fast and completely transparent to the user.

Killing applications will often slow the OS down. as you have noticed, a lot of them start up again because they are needed by the OS in someway. Killing these applications slows your experience down as Android has to reload them from the flash memory - s.l.o.w

There are times where killing applications is genuinely useful but they really are few and far between.

Oh and to actually answer your question, most of the task managers will kill the task like they are supposed to. If the task starts up again, it is because something is telling it to. Like your sync settings for example.
[Snap CDMA] [SP]JESTER:
I have had this phone a little over a month now leaving behind my 4th touch pro. So far i have found nothing on here for my poor snap :( No roms, no nothing made just for snap. 6.5 is out for sprint has anyone tried to cook that one up and unlock the vendor stuff? Im not much of a hacker or anything but theres gotta be something for this little guy. Its quick but bein left behind on 6.1 :(

Get back to me thanks
[Snap CDMA] jmz:
Yeah if you are on sprint you should have the Snal S511. Check the serial number and if you see S511 then follow the links below for unlocking and rom.

[Nexus One General] tardman91:
I'd like to take advantage of the colored notifications for different events like SMS, e-mail, missed calls, etc. Is there a good, reliable (hopefully free) app that I can use to set the different colors? I tried Blink, and it was very finicky and didn't really work (it kept resetting itself back to white). Are there any other options out there that work?
[Nexus One General] jaszek:
Trackball Alert

/Thread
[Nexus One General] omer1112:
Trackball alert (free or donate version) does what you want. Only problem is it doesn't work with CM6. Works moDaco's r21 though.
[Nexus One General] william tanaya:
i tried blink too. and it just don't work for me.

is your n1 rooted? if yes, look for trackball alert or trackball alert pro. both are very good and reliable program.

[Nexus One General] obstacles can kill:
Calm down there buddy. People posting responses such as yours and not even including valid help to follow it (your link does not produce any results) is just as bad if not worse than "those that do not search first".

Here... allow me to post what you should have said instead...

"The stock ROM does not allow you to manually change the trackball notification colors for your apps (unless it happens to be a feature that a developer built-in specifically for such app). But there are apps such as Blink or Trackball Alert that will let you change your notification color.

Also, keep in mind that this topic has been covered in this forum many times before. So if you hadn't tried the search feature before posting this, please keep it in mind for the future."

There, that sounds much better...

And for the rest of you "SEARCH FIRST OMGWTFBBQ!" nazis, let's not forget that xda has over 440,000 threads and almost 6.5 MILLION POSTS. Searching for something as common as trackball colors or notifications or alerts also generates tons of ROM development threads, generic update threads, etc. So stop listening to the whispers of your LOLCATS and get back to the reality that we are all human and are here to help each other respectfully.
[Nexus One General] tardman91:
Thank you. I did search first, but "colored trackball notification" turned up a ton of stuff, a lot of which I could hardly see any relevance in.

I tried the Blink app with little success, and from what I can tell Trackball Alert only works on rooted phones with certain custom ROMs.

Are there any apps similar to Blink, except that actually work, that don't require your phone to be rooted? I'm going to wait for my warranty to expire before I root my phone.
[Nexus One General] obstacles can kill:
I am not aware of any other apps except Blink that do what you are looking for. But I also haven't done much looking for one. Any time I've seen the question come up, Blink and Trackball Alert seem to be the answer 99% of the time. So I would assume that Blink is going to be your main/only option for now.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Blink is about it for unrooted. It completely works fine for me (stock frf91 not rooted). It will only blink the notify colors when the device is off. In addition, I added the free app 'gmail notifier' for Email notifiy color (since Blink has no setting for email notifies).
[Nexus One General] AvengerBB:
I believe Blink only works if you don't change the frequency setting for the notifications. If you just change the color it seems to work fine.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Also I would suggest that you can now Root your phone without actually unlocking the bootloader and voiding the warranty.

In one of the beta releases of Froyo, there was a security gap which grants root access even if the bootloader is still locked. The process isn't that hard. It does involve cutting a portion of a tab off of your battery for best results (its useless anyway).

Unfortuneately you have to go back to the latest Eclair build, update to FRF72, then FRF85. There is a thread in the ROMs forums with very detailed step by step instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=710842

[Nexus One General] cmarti:
Trackball Alert Pro is just a little over $3.00 USD and it's worth it.

The only thing that sucks is that you gotta wait 30mins for goggle to validate before you install.
[Nexus One General] MaD FroYo:
Blink works great on my Nexus One running Froyo 2.2 (not rooted).

However, changing the frequency settings have no effect at all over trackball blinking speed (Normal = Very Fast). Blink is also missing an option to change the LED color on new e-mail notification. It blinks in standard white color. But yeah... I can perfectly live with that! :)
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I use Blink as well on my Nexus and I have the same experience as you. Great little app.

If you want free Gmail color notifications, try Gmail Notifier(Froyo version). It's in the market and it's free and is solid as a rock. It never stops running and always works and has all the color options.
[Nexus One General] jsbi:
I'm using this app called 'Missed Call' on my stock N1 (2.2) and it just works fine.
[Nexus One General] tardman91:
It seems that with a combination of Blink and Gmail Notifier I've set up my notifications to an acceptable level. I wish Froyo had it natively with options for ALL notifications. Hopefully they'll add that in a future update.

Thank you for all your help and suggestions!
[Nexus One General] JeepFreak:
With as much time as I spend lurking here and cyber stalking Team Douche, I should probably know this, so I'll bury my stupid question on page two of a thousand threads on trackball notifications - Why were they included in CM5 but not CM6? I assume it was something Google "fixed" that made it unpossible?

Billy
[Nexus One General] EarthsiegeTA:
From what I've seen, in CM5, lilhermit (the creator) just allowed Cyanogen to put it in his mod, whereas in CM6, it looks like he wanted to get more money or recognition.

I will say, I'm not sure what the story was. This was just my take of it.
[Nexus One General] JeepFreak:
Gotcha. I'd say, that's fair.

I just got one of these (in orange and it's NOT as bright orange as the one in the picture, it's more subdued and I actually think it looks great) and I really like it. Thinner than I would have expected, great fit and doesn't interfere with anything.

It covers the on off button on top but you just press a little harder and it works great. I love it!

[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
I'm a fr00b

Feel free to... scold me
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
hah, good question. I'll cover the basics you can do the rest of the research, essentially CM6 is a customer Rom, (stands for Cyanogenmod version 6) for android devices. You can learn more by visiting cyanogenmod.com

<opinion>

Also, cyanogenmod would happen to be my favorite custom rom, a lot of extra features are included, its pretty well optimized and you can expect updates often. I've personally used Cyanogen on the Mytouch and Nexus one, and I can't wait to see a version on the Vibrant, once an official stable version comes out, you can probably expect Android 2.2 and a lot of optimizations that would may the vibrant what it should have been on launch day.

</opinion>

Also I hate to throw this in, being a fairly new poster and all (and not being a mod) but I believe that this thread would belong in the vibrant general forum as opposed to the dev forum. Just a heads up so you don't get flamed in the future ;)
[Vibrant General] Greenarcher707:
Don't worry, we won't scold you. It's not your fault being new and all.

[Vibrant General] stillyone:
I just wish you would realize that your question is for general section
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
Helpful post, alludes to something I remember mentioning :eek:

@andershizzle: if you do decide on running any roms such as CM6, the best tip that can be offered is to make sure you understand what you are doing and read any instructions carefully before you proceed, and make sure you understand the instructions too. Remember to ask for help before doing something that might turn your phone into a $500 paperweight (or in the vibrants case its more of an expensive decoration since I wouldn't trust it to hold down paper. It'd probably blow away too.)
[Vibrant General] flexnix:
I haven't laughed so loud at any post on XDA as I did with this little comment. Funny, its probably true. LOL!
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
Not being a 'nit-picker', but CM6 uses 2.2 (froyo). CM5 is 2.1 (eclair) and CM4 was 1.6 (donut). Hmm....now I'm getting hungry. :p

But yes, I'm definitely looking forward to see CM6 on the Vibrant. Only downside is it will look like the stock CM6 (meaning our Vibrant png's will be replaced :().

Guess I might start working on the replacement Vibrant theme.
[Vibrant General] davbran:
When I'd made the decision to move from my N1 to Vibrant, I was all excited to find out there was going to be a CM for Vibrant. Now, I don't care so much. Vibrant has so many things I was already replacing that it's cut down on my apps somewhat.

I got into rooting for App2SD, and with my Vibrant it just isn't necessary now to run a custom rom. I will miss the undervolting and overclocking, though I sort of hope someone will work on kernels which will work with the stock build. I did a simple root just to use my root apps. Otherwise, Vibrant is pretty good for me.

BTW, this isn't any sort of anti CM post ... I love the work he and his cronies do, and some times I hope that they'll get snapped up by one of the big guys out there. They should be making bank for their talents.
[Vibrant General] Anderdroid:
Well I feel like an idiot for posting in the Dev section. Accident. Lmao.

Anyways I've flashed ROMs on a Touch Pro 2 (WinMo *cough*terrible) before so I'm decently familiar with that.

Is CM6 like, Stock 2.2? I'm looking for a stock-as-possible ROM, is that what I should be getting?

Hehe, guess I'll just try it when it comes. But thanks for all info.
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
Will we be able to install CM6 with ROM Manager?
[Vibrant General] davbran:
If you look at his changelog on his site he shows you the common Froyo bits and then shows the bits for different phone types. I would call it a Custom/Stock Hybrid
[Vibrant General] davbran:
From browsing the vibrant forum on cyanogenmod.com it looks like mostly speculation at this point.
[Vibrant General] Mr_Tricorder:
It's not speculation. There is active development for the Vibrant going on. It's just not far along enough yet for an experimental release.

You can follow wesgarner and scepterr on Twitter for the latest updates since they're heading the Vibrant branch. Wes is primarily focused on the MT3G Slide a the moment though since he promised to work on that one first and it's farther along, but he has also been actively working on the Vibrant too.
[Vibrant General] Janis:
I just want CM6 on Vibrant to see Wes work his hiney off

No, not really. But I know he will.

The CM team adds a year to our gadgets. All I really want is to get rid of the stinky calendar app right now, and I can do that without CM6 (4,5 or 7, whatever). In eight months, though, when 1.5 or 2gH processors are selling, some ingenious JIT tweak revolutionizes speed, and/or the size of Google Earth becomes more commonplace, I'm going to want CM. I'm going to want it to be in its ruts, hashed & rehashed. Im not necessarily expecting it, but I sure am gonna want it, and be grateful if it's there for me and my old phone.

The CM team is also willing to try new stuff, and can get a load of people to test it. So Apps2SD started where? Got popular how? It's stock now?

CM is open source, and has got a lot of people using and understanding what open source is. The social aspect of software is all too often misunderstood, or just plain dismissed. XDA-developers has revolutionized software as we know it. We'd all be spoon fed M$ users without this site, and possilby without CM specifically. These guys will be in software history textbooks.

So, I'm working donations into my budget. I'ts much cheaper than buying a new phone every few months, or putting up with stock software on old hardware. I will pay these guys as long as they're willing to work their magic.

(By the way, every once is a while I crack out my old Tmo MDA, just for kicks for a few hours. It works beautifully thanks to a custom ROM. Thinking about giving it to my Mom just so she can have a Tmo "smartphone." I love XDA. I love open source, even when it's not exactly.)

I got help here to root it so I could get a proggy on there that would allow me to get fonts in larger sizes and yes, I'm very happy. HOWEVER, my HOT SPOT feature is not working and I"m guessing that pimpin' it is what did it and NO, I'm too stupid to fix it and the guy that helped me rooting it had no idea what to do.

you may be a noob, but seriously you didn't really expect anyone to have sympathy did you?, we all started somewhere.. hint: start by reading the stickies
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guiri_too:
God forbid someone would have sympathy but NO, the crying icon was there to spruce the thread up.

I have gotten great help in forums and I've run into a lot of a$$holes if that answers your question?

As for reading the stickies, I have a reading comprehension problem so that doesn't work for me. Of course, you may want to say that this is bull$hit

and I'm just trying to make it easy on my self and yes, I am but no, the reading thing is not bull and reading instructions are useless.

Last time, I had someone talk me through it in a chat and it worked but took around TWO hours. This would not have happened if it had been

done through here or e mail. You'd be talking days or weeks just getting the thing rooted.

However, I"m not sure how helpful your reply is? Plenty of that around the web. Lots of replies in help forums but LITTLE help. Mostly people that

think their $hit don't stink and that they can say anything just 'cause they're anonymous. Sounds like my neighbor. She used to talk all kinds of

$hit about EVERYONE and tell me how she stood up to someone and told them this or that to their face but she never did. Just told ME how damn

cool she was but I never saw any proof of it.

Yeah, it's easy to have an opinion online and make comments about any damn thing...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryjabo:
guiri_too,

Post in your local listings (Craigslist, for example). I'm sure there's probably someone in your area that can help you out.

An online forum isn't really the best setting for what you need. You need someone that knows what they're doing (no offense) to look at your phone and do what needs to be done. Otherwise... read through the threads, find rooting/modding instructions, get a custom recovery image on, make a backup, and flash a new ROM.

If you didn't know what you were getting yourself into, you shouldn't have done it. I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, either.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guiri_too:
If I ONLY stuck to buying things I completely understood, I would NOT have a damn thing today and no worries, I wasn't insulted.

As for craigslist, haven't found much there but morons but I can give it a try.

However, I KNOW there's plenty of knowledge here, the trick is to find it. LIke I said, I got great help rooting it but now I see there's some problem which I ASSUME is from the rooting.

Note, NOTHING against the guy that helped me out, he did a great job and was very patient so I have no complaints, it's just that now that I found this out, I'd like to get it fixed.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
well man, what you can do is give us some details too.. are you on a custom rom, or stock w/only root, also do you have stock recovery or kosh(sp) or Amon Ra's

If you know how to check you can simply go to about phone and check in there if you are on custom, usually in kernal it will have the devs name.. to find you bout recovery you get the app quickboot(in app market) and hit recovery if you have list of options and i mean a list then you have a custom recovery, if you only have 3 options then its stock..

If you got custom rom& recovery, then you can flash a different rom, this could have broken wifi or something along the way.. so what you do is find a custom rom you like( i say go with enomther) that one is close to stock as possible but with all perks taht are really needed :)

im new to the n1 communtiy as i barely got my n1 rooted, but i had my g1 for over a year or so and had bout 3 of those, and not much has change except the way to root it
