Samsung Kies will not work with any other launcher other than the default TWLauncher. You will need to switch back the default launcher to the TWLauncher before you can connect under Kies mode. You can download an application called "Home Switcher" to change the default launcher. To play safe, reboot after change the default launcher.

Thanks very much Copo!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty7:
The best way to do this to alwas get the call log is this:

Use the default Launchpro icon to get to the dialer, which i find is great. Then change the swipe gesture to launch an activity and the activity is part of the phone app and choose the log option tab...i think it is the first or second choice.

That way you have the best of both worlds :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hansonator:
Swipe up for sure. I use it for launching contacts. Such a handy feature, really improves productivity.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kltar0:
Anyone know what activity uses Launcher Pro to open dialpad directly?

I want to use that shortcut with ADW, but i can't find it in activities. I managed to open dialpad from a shortcut with the activity: Contacts -> Contacts(.TwelveKeyDialer), but dialpad is opened without tabs at the top (Phone, Call log, Contacts, Favorites).

How can i find what shortcut command Launcher Pro uses for opening dialer?

this result.

[Desire General] adjei7:
Install launcherpro, and in preferences you can choose to stop wallpaper scrolling.
[Desire General] ptRpAndA:
i dont want to be in Launcher Pro application. i want it to be in HTC Scene.

if there's anyway for that. let me know :)
[Desire General] ptRpAndA:
i guess this only applies for different ROM's

i dont think HTC Sense can do it.
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
So as I had posted the camera doesnt work, Don't have LED Flashlight installed so thats not the problem, But also in 6 hours the phone wasnt being used, everything was turned off except just "cell" and it has killed the battery terrible.

So i've decided I need to re-install it, I cannot seem to find the link, It was posted on here earlier as I went about downloading it and cancled it.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Also I jsut stick it in the SD Card direcftory and rename update.zip, Correct?

Typical, Found it just after I posted this :rolleyes:

[Click General] kandemirb:
Hello,

my Tattoo also connects to every wifi point except the one at home, with which I have no problems at all using my 2 laptops and a PS3! To be precise, it gets connected but there is no data transfer at all. I've tried various roms and 3rd party software including wifibuddy that haree suggested, but still no luck.

So what else is there to try?

Thanks in advance!

[HD2 General] juggamonkey:
Hello everyone. just bought my hd2 a few days ago off of craigslist. worked great unlocked the whole package . but then disaster struck i dropped the device and i shattered the screen. good news it still works even the digitizer bad news it looks like crap. ive called around a few repair shops and the lowest quote i got for a new digitizer repair is a 140 bucks . that not including shipping it to them and them shipping it back. so what i ask of you all is does anyone know where i can get this repair done cheaper . looking for professional work also. ive replaced the digitizer on my iphone 3g before but the hd2 repair is out of my league thanks alot
[HD2 General] r2d2guy:
I dropped my phone and cracked the screen also. I called HTC and they said they could repair it for less than $120. I sent it off and they were able to fix it, good as new for only $50. Good luck.
[HD2 General] juggamonkey:
Well i called today and asked they said it would be 120 i asked if it could possibly be cheaper and their response was nope! Bummer but 120 is the cheapest i found so far even though last time i dealt with them they lost my g1 in the mail and i had to drive a state over to pick it up from a old lady that called and told me she got my remote control in the mail by mistake
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:
I am currently setting up my goldcard and planning to flash the new official froyo update, I've been flashing my g1 ever since rom were first developed and am well aware of the dangers of flashing radio.

Do I need a new radio before flashing the official froyo rom, and if so how do I flash the radio I am on tmo branded with 0.80 hboot and 1.21 software, I have bricked a g1 before and theres no way I want that to happen with the desire.

Also I am looking to flash a stock rom that will allow me to get th update ota, which rom would b best to use?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonnibravo:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patp:
Did you leave the goldcard in? Someone with a problem like yours reported applying the Froyo update with the goldcard in and using recovery to apply it as a zip.
[Desire General] cb8rwh:
Hi,

just had a text conversation with a Vodafone support person called Beverly. I asked if she/they knew when 2.2 would be out for voda branded desires - the answer was

"There is no update about the release date or the Android 2.2 (Froyo)"

"Prior to releasing or approving any software update for customers who have bought a handset through Vodafone, we test it thoroughly to ensure it provides customers the best possible experience on our network. Our testing process begins as soon as we receive the software, which often happens once the manufacturer has already released the open market version of the software."

"During the review process, we report any issues with the software back to the manufacturer for them to address. Once the firmware is approved by Vodafone, we return it to the manufacturer and they will then distribute the software to customers through the appropriate channels."

And her last comment was

"We will release the firmware as soon as possible :)"

Basically don't hold your breath :(
[Desire General] I RICHY I:
My friend is stuck on 1.6 on Vodafone because they don't release updates. Basically sh it yourself.
[Desire General] bigbamboo5:
I've just called and had the same standard reply. I asked for my concerns to be 'flagged' and was told that every call about this is being collated and 'pushed upstairs'. So I suggest Voda customers ring on 191 and (nicely) make their point of view clear and then also ask for their comments to be flagged...
[Desire General] executed_apt:
just debrand then update

i got pissed off waiting also last night.so took upon myself to debrand the phone..

made a goldcard=4 minutes or so

=downloaded wwe rom=4 minutes

debranding phone=10 minutes

switched on..checked for updates froyo was there

seriously very easy procedure..id do it if i was you
[Desire General] AdamZA:
Same here - one of the easiest things i've ever done.

Make some backups and you lose nothing but your individual program settings for programs that you've downloaded.

Whole thing took me about an hour inc making and restoring backups (which took the most time)
[Desire General] dskmat:
i got it, dont understand why you didn't.

I have a desire from Vodaphone. It doesn't appear to be branded. I thought none of them were from vodaphone. Got the update yesterday.

How is your phone different. Is there a vodaphone insignia on the phone or proprietary software changes.

Just curious.

Dave

AdamZA and Executed_apt does this mean that your phones are rooted now??
[Desire General] bigbamboo5:
Oh, that's strange.

You are correct to say that none of the UK Voda Desires are branded - no markings on the phone and no splash screens or whatever. But the firmware number still seems to mark them out as Voda phones and that means they can only be updated by 'official' Voda updates, I believe.

Can anyone else shed some light on this? :confused:
[Desire General] cb8rwh:
No visible difference. It seems to have a vodafone 'scene' and a vodafone background. The main difference, and apparently the reason why it doesn't update is because the rom version is different to the official HTC rom. version 1.19... as opposed to 1.21 (i think).

I am going to wait a few days and then will probably go down the gold card etc route.
[Desire General] Smith2001:
i went down the goldcard route, have it in when you Debrand to WWE 1.21 and LEAVE it in when you check for updates for FroYo and it works fine.

Even though on the Techradar site it stated Voda are gonna try and get it out to us as soon as possible its just not worth believing them as they are shi*e at these things.
[Desire General] executed_apt:
nice

the only way you can tell if its vodafone is as someone already stated about it having the vodafone scene and i believe software version with 161.

in relation to the rooted question i dont think so..but whatever it means im happy as a pig in .... you can unroot etc regardless of how it goes

froyo is up and running though

only thing i had an issue was the sync for my contacts..but transferred my contacts from previous sync to outlook then tried sync again from outlook

besides that happy days
[Desire General] cb8rwh:
Looks like the update is out!!

Well there is an update but it only 19.41MB - at work at the moment so can't dl.
[Desire General] cb8rwh:
Oh joy, it just installed 19MB of vodafone ****. MFs!!!!
[Desire General] bigbamboo5:
You are joking, right? :mad:

I've just bust a gut to download with a huge smile on my face and had to delete Google Earth and Layar in order to free up enough space! So, not only is it NOT FroYo, but it's Vodafone bloat which I didn't ask for?

Seriously pissed off now.

:mad::mad::mad:
[Desire General] edesignuk:
You just broke my heart. I'm following threads at the Vodafone forum too where people are reporting of an update...we were all assuming it was froyo (no one has completed the update yet).
[Desire General] Maix27:
It's not froyo...

I rooted my phone last night, contemplating whether to go for a modded ROM or the original.

Looks like i'll be debranding tonight and getting the 2.2 OTA that way (i will be trying custom ROMs first though)
[Desire General] executed_apt:
i believe vodafone did buy a load of unbranded completly network free desires which customers have..then some have vodafone on..you can tell by the software number...and if it has the scene..but in relation to network branding at least vodafone left the splash screens etc alone..

my advice..sod vodafone..debrand..get froyo...though dont get overexcited its an anti climax..but two best things......save apps to sd..and 720p recording..oo and hotspt..but rarely using that me thinks
[Desire General] ktwf:

[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
the android kitchen can port roms from one device to another. i've messed with it on occasion and just doing the basic port process generally results in the rom loading, but a lot of things not working (bluetooth, wifi, camera, etc).

How bout you and the op trade? That'd be the easiest way

Sent from my cm6 Liberty
[HTC Aria General] crispien:
True but mine has about 20 min of use right now, and I have trust issues on the net. :)
[HTC Aria General] DamnCampers:
Well IMO if you have trust issues then stay away from windows mobile. I just upgraded a month back from a windows mobile phone. Interface worked decent but not only was it restrictive it what it allowed me to do it didn't like me to tinker and customize it the way it worked. At least with the android based phone I can see the inner working, understand how and what is going on. And I can disallow whatever I feel isn't good for me.
[HTC Aria General] matt_b:
you can't put winmo on an android phone.
[HTC Aria General] crispien:
If you can put android on a winmo phone why can we not at the least dual boot on a android phone
[HTC Aria General] superchilpil:
Its difficult, with winmo we could shutdown winmo with a app and load a os into the phone through the SD card but still there was alot of compatability issues. I'm assuming its going to be the same the other way. Camera will never work or radio ect..
[HTC Aria General] BigJayDogg3:
Probably has to do with the fact that you'd be moving out of the grey area of rom flashing and firmly into pirating since you never attained a winmo license.

Which would also mean most sites wont allow it since your work becomes a liability.
[HTC Aria General] superchilpil:
its not pirating really, if so then my tilt2 had pirated software on it, i had htc sense (winmo6.5) ported from the hd2 to it plus i dual booted android 2.1 and had a full fledged linux on at some point

the real problem is the reverse engineering which no one wants to do, and i dont speak for all people but for alot of people winmo is become less than useful not saying it sucks because i loved my tilt2 but it had its limitations that my aria doesnt
[HTC Aria General] BigJayDogg3:
That version of Sense you had was reverse engineered to a certain point. I can bet you if you took the cab straight from the hd2 and installed it on the Tilt, it either wouldn't install ir would be very, very buggy.

And as i said, doing this would move you out of that gray area. One could make an argument that you've paid for a license for WinMo and Sense and by flashing these new ROMs you're just updating. You can argue the other side, but thats why its called a gray area. ;)

Android in its most basic form is FOSS. Google's apps aren't, but the OS itself is. You can legally install it on whatever you can get it to run on. To be fair, i don't know how they handle distributing it.

Windows Mobile on the other hand is licensed. You HAVE to pay for a new license otherwise you're pirating the os.
[HTC Aria General] superchilpil:
Your right and I'm not trying to be an ass

But to break that license you would hafta sell the software modified. They finally passed a law stating basically if its given to the open public it can be modified all u want untilled is sold then its illegal. The one good thing apple brought upon us
[HTC Aria General] BigJayDogg3:
Not exactly. I think its if you distribute it, not just selling it. From Engadget:
[HTC Aria General] superchilpil:
i realize this shouldnt be much of a problem to port

the only problem is probably the bootloader and recovery mode are for different OS's but otherwise these phones are almost exactly the same

although i have no idea how to port anything
[HTC Aria General] MobileMini:
Not to annoy anybody, but is there somebody even trying to port Android from the Aria to the Mini at this moment? Or is this a real dead one...?

Since the hardware is almost exactly the same, the only major thing should be a safe way to flash from WinMo to Android, or am I wrong?
[HTC Aria General] MobileMini:
Guys, are there any developers around here that can give an indication of how hard it is to port an Aria Android Rom onto the HD Mini? Could it be possible that just putting the Aria Rom on a HD Mini will give a 90% working phone (trackpad/screen/windows button are the only differences as far as i know)?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Your post from the 15th was spot on. This is a DEAD THREAD!!! Move on. This is not the 'droid you are looking for...
