Mine does that too whenever i restore a rom. The market auto restores all apps but they download to /sdcard/download first. Even if you delete the files from download. Reflash a new rom and let it restore your apps it will re-add the "downloadfile*.apk" to your downloads folder. Weird but nice.

Never thought of it but buying an app, flashing a new rom and letting it restore will put it on sdcard and then you can get a refund and it will still be there.

Wonder why it does this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kaokollaa:
This app is awesome it let you mix music like bbm

and a lot o features

sorry about my english!!!

Try it and post your comments

edit: buy it http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.beatronik.djstudio

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] illmaticone:
i think this is a paid app, i would remove it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kaokollaa:
i dont see it in the market thats why i post it !!

[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
I was putting my battery cover back on today and the battery cover touched the camera lens pretty lightly and left a scratch! I don't think this cam will last with daily pocket carrying.
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
the back casing is made of metal you know....

that kinda sucks. does it show up in pictures?

You might just luck out.
[Captivate General] chvybeatsford:
That's the exact reason i went out and got the body glove case. I noticed the camara lens wash just about flush with phone and wanted some thing that was raised away from it. Mine hasent scratched and glad.
[Captivate General] oswade:
Mine looks slightly scratched under the light :S (I was using the phone for a few weeks before i got a silicon case). Fortunately I can't notice it in photos :)
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Yeah I can't see it on pics. But it is no where near as scratch resistant as the screen. I would guess keys would do a number to t his screen.
[Captivate General] wekebu:
Why don't they make a cover for the lens? I truly don't need a cover for the usb, never had it for previous phones and their usb ports still work. Gimmick.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
The whole industrial design on the captivate is so whack. I hope ATT guys are reading this thread but that's probably not going to happen.

I wonder how many ATT guys wish they had the Tmobile version with the nice ridge on the back at the bottom that actually let you grip the phone properly when you press the softkeys.
[HD2 General] thegios:
Is anyone using this?

I have an annoying issue: I set storage to memory card, close app, re-open and it's set back to main mem...
[HD2 General] horusgod:
I've just tried, setting Memory card, close apllication and re-opening the setting still remains to the card.
[HD2 General] thegios:
mmmmmmmmmm....

ok I'v just found out that it works for excel mobile but not for word mobile...

have u just minimised office or REALLY closed it?
[HD2 General] doktor2003:
OneNote fail

After installing Office Mobile 2010, all apps running except OneNote.

Anyone having same problem?
[HD2 General] horusgod:
I've tried for Word and I've really closed the program with Task Manager to be sure of that.

I also make a soft reset and then I've tried again and the setting remains.
[Droid Incredible General] vbhines:
Let me start by saying this: I do realize there are other methods to accomplish this, and that this method will not work for everyone. But for me it's simple to set up, as well as neat and tidy.

I've started combining the use of Dropbox with Wyse PocketCloud for Android. I'm sure everyone is already familiar with Dropbox. Wyse PocketCloud, if you don't already know, is a fantastic RDP client for Android.

With this setup, I'm able to have access to any file on my computer at any time from anywhere, with acceptable levels of security.

Using Wyse, I remote logon (yes, even over 3G) to my desktop at home. I then use Wyse to find the file I need on my desktop, and then copy it onto the Dropbox folder on my desktop. Through Wyse, I've remotely added a file on my home computer to my Dropbox cloud. I can then logoff from Wyse, open up Dropbox on my phone, and download that file to wherever I need it. I've already been saved by this - I was able to obtain a copy of an important PowerPoint for work from my desktop, download it to my SD card, then mass-storage it onto my work computer.

There are other great uses for Wyse, but this is my favorite. I hope and pray they expand the Beta.

Steps:

1. RDP compatible OS (I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate)

2. Download Wyse PocketCloud from Android Market

3. Sign up for Dropbox and install the client to both your home computer and your Android device

4. Enable RDP on your home computer

5. If you're home computer is behind a router or other type of firewall, don't forget you'll need to set up an appropriate port forwarding rule!

This was a fantastic solution for me - I hope it helps others as well. If anyone else can think of creative uses for Wyse, I'd love to hear them.
[Droid Incredible General] k.electron:
i use wyse all the time. for the above mentioned use and i run a dlna server on my pc to feed media to other devices in the house, so if i need to share a new folder etc, and i dont want to go to the computer, i just wyse it.
[Droid Incredible General] maxyoda:
Alternative - e-mail the file to yourself (using Wyse or another RDP Client)

Another alternative is to use an RDP Client to e-mail the file to yourself, and then access the e-mail on your phone.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
RDP is vulnerable to a man-in-the-middle attack unless you are using certificates. I've also seen many a winbox hacked via RDP in the past, not really sure if they just used dumb passwords and accounts or what, but in each case the box was owned by a bot. As a result, I don't allow RDP anywhere at any time to any box.

If I want remote access RealVNC with encryption (Only in paid version) but don't think there is a Droid app for that yet, or I use something with an SSH tunnel.

As for files, I have files on a network share which is then mounted via NFS on an internal network to a Unix server which I can then hit with something like AndFTP using an SSH connection to get and put.

This includes access to all MP3, ISO, Movies, data, web etc.. access

This is not limited to use via a smartphone though, any SSH file transfer program will work from any Internet facing box.

I've used dropbox in the past and it is okay, but the above gives me full access to files without pre-planning what I am going to need.
[Droid Incredible General] vbhines:
That's really helpful information. It sounds as though there may not be a fully secure method to access your root that way? Wow, even just typing that makes me glad I don't really have sensitive info on that box.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RingAnswerHello:
Hey everyone, I am looking for the native android (froyo) 2.2 launcher/theme/look for the evo 4g?

I want to disable HTC Sense UI and use the native android 2.2 UI......

Any ideas on how we can get it? (without rooting or using anything like LauncherPro or AWD?)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Well, outside of rooting, I'm guessing the only way would be finding an launcher app that looks similar.

Not a lot of options.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RingAnswerHello:
So there is no way to get it unless I root my Evo?

How do I get it if I root it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
by installing a custom rom with it, or modifying your own rom to incorporate it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RingAnswerHello:
Where I can find this custom ROM?

I haven't had any such luck.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Look at the development section. Most roms have screenshots on there, so just find one with the style you're looking for.

of course, make sure to look at the descriptions of the roms, bc they're custom for more thean their looks. A lot of them add and remove features, and they may be things that you don't like. Definitely choose carefully.

Anyways, if you're not rooted, and u've installed the 2.2 update from sprint, you're not going to be able to root at the moment anyways.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RingAnswerHello:
Awesome thanks for your help TJDuckett :D

I was hoping it was much easier than all of that.....like just some .apk that I install...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JerryGNYC:
Oops, didn't see that don't want to use LP or ADW.. nevermind...

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nextlevel_44:
If you just want the stock 2.2 launcher go to settings then applications find the rosie app and clear defaults then when you hit the home button select launcher 2 as default. Sense will still be integrated through out the phone but you will have the stock 2.1 launcher
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
in the latest 2.2 update for Sprint they removed the native launcher all together. I have attached it to this post for you. Enjoy! It also reinstalls the stock backgrounds which were also removed. BTW this does not require root. Just simply install apk file.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] driguez:
Just had to give u props for not flipping out on the n00b.

Sent telepathically via my Evo.

-_-
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tregrad:
where do we put the apk and how?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigRick10:
The apk is adw launcher which I'm already using.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Raadius:
Do you have a link, the one I d/l from here I can't find any Sense widgets :/
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Raadius:
In the root of your sd card (I made a folder on the sdcard called Android Apk and put all my apk's in there). Than open up Astro, migrate to the apk and install it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jonathaflores:
you cant put sense widgets on launcher2
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
No the apk I uploaded is the stock 2.2 launcher.

Sense widgets go with the sense launcher which is why you won't find then when using the Android 2.2 launcher.

To install just double tap the apk in astro or another file explorer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigRick10:
I downloaded it and it said adw when I went to install it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
Then you didn't install this apk. Mine says:

Name: com.android.launcher

Label: Launcher

File Version: 2.2

Nowhere on the summary or details tab does it say ADW.

It is clearly the stock android 2.2 launcher.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ekt8750:
Is there a reason the phone button doesn't work? I get a message saying there's no app installed on my phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nacienleongto:
Thank you Superevilllama!!!! It work for me!!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] greymarch:
Getting the same thing after installing the launcher.apk posted in an earlier reply.

I write about technology, especially the Android OS at my website.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Tregrad:
how do you install it? i put it in a folder on my root named apk's and then clicked on it and there was a parsing error.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sircashews:
Same deal sense and adw phone buttons work work but apk file gives me an error. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] BigRick10:
I downloaded it again. And I can't even install it. Just like the first time. When I click to install it it asks me if I want to uninstall ADW. I'm running CM6 so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] laydros:
This is probably because CM6 uses ADW as the default, and it is kinda built into the system, which is why the options show up under settings. I expect they do something that makes Android think it is the default, so it doesn't like installing the stock over it.

If you are feeling handy, grab your CM nightly and throw it in dsixda's kitchen, swap in the AOSP launcher and remove ADW, it might work. Or try to adb remount then adb push Launcher2.apk /system/app. These ideas might work, might not.

The phone button doesn't work because it is looking for the Android dialer, not the Sense dialer. Basically Sense changes so much that you can't really use this without some issues. Kinda sucks.

I'm going to sound like a jerk here and say that if I wasn't going to root my android phone, I would have just stuck with my iPhone. I don't really think the advantage to the Android phones is how much you can customize.

As for disabling Sense as default and switching to the stock launcher, that is only going to work on the earliest official HTC releases. On the later ones they removed it, including 1.47 and the new 2.2 release.

If you want the stock look I think you can pretty much nail it with LauncherPro, which is also pretty darn fast. Grab the Froyo icons (I've attached a zip with that and the Droid X icons) and choose the Froyo Dock background. IIRC there is an option to use the 3d application drawer.

ADW and LauncherPro are both based on the real launcher, so using LP and setting it up to look like the stock one doesn't really have a downside.

Plus if you pay for LP Plus you get widgets that look and work a LOT like some of the sense widgets.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RingAnswerHello:
Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this!

.....and dealt with my ignorant questions.

I can deal with the phone button not working; however, if there is an .apk for that I would like it ;)

P.s. MAJOR props to Superevilllama

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jayodeed:
Downloaded the launcher app u posted and the phone app does not work it says application not on phone even when I try and drag the app over it just brings up the trash bin....any solutions?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thisisepic:
Are you serious? Read the posts in the topic.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] swiftinmotion:
I must say after barely realizing since updating to 2.2 i hated not being able to use stock android UI i was pretty pissed off considering there currently isnt a root and i wanted a stock android UI theme, Thank you Superevilllama. you are a dream with this .apk
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] marctronixx:
ALL<

before i install this, can this be easily uninstalled via the manage apps tab if one changes his or her mind and wants to remove it?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KyleKatastrophe:
I love you man, I only looked everywhere for this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] laydros:
I dunno, but you can hit "Clear defaults" in the manage tab and next time you press the Home button you can choose to go back to Sense, and set it back as default.

There is now an app in the market that makes this a little easier, if you are like me and switch home apps a lot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] p4trickh:
I wonder if there is a way to get the stock Android Dialer apk so the phone button would work. That would be double win because I'm not a huge fan of the sense dialer.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RotoRooter:
Change phone shortcut?

I deconstructed the Launcher2.apk with baksmali looking through all the .smali files for a config pointing to the phone application. I couldn't find anything. Anybody know which file points the launcher shortcut to the phone app? If so, I will recompile and post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
Yes it is unininstallable through manage applications.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] aaron580:
Can anybody point me twords a post or something with more widgets for froyo launcher and stuff like that? I dont know much about it and its just to bare right now wish I at least had the weather clock for it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] RotoRooter:
Beautiful Widgets is the best add-on I have found. You get access to TONS of clocks and a couple of shortcuts. It's not free but it is well worth it. You can modify the look in a million ways.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
That would be great! not so good at the decompiling/recompiling part yet. I will look around and see if I can find this. I know quite a few people are wanting the phone option to work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] must5llx:
Wouldnt a dump of the phone.apk,Dialer.apk off of a vanilla rom work for this?Not sure if you can have two dialers installed at a time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Jeremiah239:
Where can I download them?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] must5llx:
I was thinking maybe pulling them off of a cyanogenmod rom and installing them on a official sense rom.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chris4404:
Any luck with this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tthomas6568:
How do you get the phone icon to work, phone.apk, doesnt work, any suggestions? I want this to work so bad. Im not a fan of sense, I would pay someone to get this to work.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] The Tech Game:
same here lol:D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tthomas6568:
theres got to be a way to fix the phone feature, can anybody chime in on this??
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] chris4404:
Which phone.apk did you use? Where did you get it from?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] warbreeder:
is there any progress with the phone.apk / dialer.apk .. :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Anon9mouz:
Thats what i would like to know. Bc its funnie i believe that calkulin had this on one of his roms and i pulled the apk just to save as a different launcher if i ever needed one. I believe the phone button worked when it was on his rom. I want to say it was his but i could be wrong im kinda a flash junkie sorrie.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jonathan.w.g.nz:
Hi, I have a non root HTC Desire 2.2, I installed this app and im liking it but when I click the phone button it says App not installed so i can't make phone calls. Do you know where i can download the defualt phone manager for android?

Works on frost and valaek
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] speedy0339:
Phone shortcut doesnt work

When i tap the phone icon, it says this app is not installed on your phone
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xfullmetal17:
Allright, ten seconds in and I'm already wondering what HTC was thinking with their Sense bull****...

Anyway, I know this isn't the greatest solution, but you can use the Phone app in the app list to get to the Sense phone, plus put a shortcut on your home screen. Not what people are looking for, but at least you don't have to switch back to Sense just to make a bloody phone call.

I'm new to Android, but what app(s) attempt to load when the phone button is pressed? If it's just Dialer.apk and Phone.apk, it looks to my untrained eyes that the Dialer app is already there... There's one by HTC version 1.0, but then a second one version 2.2. I haven't had a chance to find an app to view hidden apps running (if such a thing exists) but shouldn't the same hold true for the phone?

Hopefully I'm not too lysdexic dyslexic in spelling words... :D

edit: give me a couple days to get stuff in order and I'll put up screencaps of what I'm talking about... Strangely enough there's an OPTION to force-stop the HTC Dialer but nothing happens?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikkibailey1968:
if this has already been asked I apologize

I read in netarchy's thread of his personal rom about re-calibrating the battery if after flashing a new kernel/rom you notice significant battery drain (due to the full wipe).

How do you go about re-calibrating?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
there are several methods, The method i use is to charge the phone to full then let it run all the way down till it shuts up then charge itb ack to full uninterupted. anotherm ethod that i have had mixed results with but some people like is to charge your phone to full. turn the power off, unplug it wait for the led to go out plug it back in the light will b orange wait till it turns green then unplug and repeat 10 times.

The last method is something HTC suggested which is to charge the battery uninterupted for 8 hours then turn the phone off and charge it for 1 hour, turn the phone on unplug it and let it sit for 2 minutes then charge it for another 1 hour.

Then you can install A2SDGUI - Darktremor A2SD GUI to control it.

Hope that I could help :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JonasHeegaard:
Hey!

I were just wondering if it was possible to port the newly released Sense 2.2 for the Desire on to the Hero?

I'am not that much into ROM's ect., but would be nice if it would be possible, caus I really like the Sense UI and wouldn't live without it!

Thanks in advance!

-Jonas
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Not really, as desire has different processor, so binaries are not compatible at all, and totally different res screen.

Wait for legend or slide to get it.

Okay. Let's hope they'll get it soon then :P
[Desire Accessories] HorNet505:
does anyone know the max transfer rate for SD Cards in the DESIRE?

Is it limited or dependant to the SD card?

I wonder if it is useful to prefer a CLASS 4 card (4MB/sec) for Class 2 (2MB/sec)
[Desire Accessories] bightf:
Well, I have a Sandisk 16Gb class 2 and it's slooowwwwwwww... under 1Mb/s for small files.

I found a Kingston 16Gb class 10 and I've bought it, I'll receive it by the end of the week and I'll tell you if I find any difference.
[Desire Accessories] HorNet505:
wow C10 :eek:

how much did it cost?
[Desire Accessories] Vulpix:
Probably about a 100 bucks Hor judging by eBay prices. Gonna camp here and wait for benchmarks before buying one.
[Desire Accessories] bightf:
Yep, and because I'm french it's a hundred euros :)

I know, it's probably too much for that kind of device (class 6 would probably be enough), but I just want to try out :D

Here are the results using J Benchmark 1.0 on the phone to test my current SD card :

Parameters : Data size = 10MB, Buffer Size = 2KB

Write : 1,7MB/s

Read : 2,4MB/s

As you can see, it's around 2MB/s which complies with the class 2 logo.
[Desire Accessories] ndori:
sorry about pop this thread but it is related,

I want to buy a better SD card with a higher class, so I contacted htc and ask them up to which class desire supports , that's the answer:

hank you for contacting our Customer Support Center.

With regards to your inquiry,

Kindly note that the compatible Micro SD Card with HTC Desire is class 6.

Thank you once again for your continued patronage.

Sincerely,

Karim

HTC

so , I saw that there are some desire owners who has a higher class sd card,

and my question is does it has a faster writing rate or is it an overkill?

thx, Nitzan
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Snowtoad23:
Hello,

I'm using stock htc Legend, un rooted. As such, I'm not quite sure what rooting entails, whether it gives access to the root directory, or just the ability to edit it.

Because using astro I am able to browse my root directory and I've looked through and found interesting files like all the various configuration files, a acpuclk_tbl file in /sys/acpuclock which lists various processor speeds, 245760, 480000, 600000.

Does that mean min, current, max or something?

And I also found the boot screen data. It had a boot screen gif of the green android robot popping his head out at the bottom then side of the screen and waving.. Is this like the default android (non htc) animation or something? It also had one with the silver htc logo which I see if sense crashes, but with an animated glow, and an alternate boot sound with some sounds before the classic htc chime. Why are these alternatives there if you're not meant to be able to change them?

Tl;dr:

I can access the root files, is this normal? I haven't tried editing anything in fear of messing something up but I have used astro to copy out one of the boot animations.
