I'm using an Energy ROM 6.5.5 + 2.12 radio + MattcLeo 1.5 and my exchange calendar syncs fine. I know there are some companies who don't allow Android devices to sync with their servers fully. Could this be your problem? You may try deleting you account and resyncing it.

As far as hotmail goes I believe you have to set it up manually. I don't believe there is anything on the market for it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tRIACTIs:
i also don't have any solution but can report, that for my sync works well with any build using mail2web.com. so it should be related to hotmail...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FreakyFerret:
Thanks everyone. I was DarkStone when I had the problems. I tried FroyoStone this morning and the calendar that came in it worked with Exchange, so it is possible. Problem is FroyoStone still have some HTC Sense stuff in it (even if it's a clean build), and I'd rather have a complete Sense free device (like DarkStone). So I'll probably have to research this more.

FroyoStone had nothing for setting up a Hotmail account though.

If anyone has any further suggestions, I'd be very happy to hear them.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FreakyFerret:
To let those know:

The newer builds of Android are working okay with the Calendar and Exchange. Tested with Darkstone HD2Froyo v2.0 and 2.1. mattc's Nexus builds also work.

I couldn't find any useful Hotmail apps, but I did find how to add Hotmail as an account on the phone using POP (you need a really old Hotmail account or a paid one for it to work). Also Microsoft is in the process of moving Hotmail to using Exchange compatible interface, so we'll be able to add Hotmail as an actual Exchange service.

Im looking for a kspec theme for my CM6 rc-2... is there any that can go on this rom??

im literally new to rooting.. i rooted my nexus one like 3 hours ago lol.. all the information im getting is from the here and searching the net..

if there is not a kspec theme for this rom do i have to go back and get cm 5.0.8? i used the one click method as well.. btw i love the new look! haha..

do i use metamorph for the theme? or do i have to flash it?.. (if there is a kspec theme out there for me)..

Another thing, if i do flash another rom, can i just flash it over the one i have without wiping anything?.. (i hated installing and updating all my apps and information again) ..

if there is a kspec theme out there that i can use, how do i use it?? (like getting it installed) lol

Any great suggestions on a great kspec theme!?

thanks for your time guys, i really appreciate it! all the information i take in from here has helped me understand soo much! also bragging to my friends about what my nexus one can do haha =]]

p.s. again, im really new to rooting, so if you could please hold off on the "short term" names and actually spell it out and describe it to me (until i get on ur guys' level), that will be very much appreciated!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jason Syn:
I wish man, BrandenK (the maker of Kspec) got an Evo so they are getting all the love right now. He has said he's gonna port it over but not until CM6 comes out of beta since they are pumping out the updates like nobodies business over there in the Cyanogen camp. Hold tight, hopefully it will be ported over eventually.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incredible_Culp:
Oh ok.. thanks for the update man
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
I am almost too chicken to post because reading all the developer threads I feel like such a noob.

I recently rooted my Nexus One, thanks to a developer that created a painless one button rooting app. The problem is after downloading and installing many apps that require superuser access I am finding out that I am limited in what I can do without unlocking the bootloader.

I want to find a theme that replaces the standard white bar "which will cause screen burn" with a black bar.

I backed up all my apps, "Titanium Back Up"

I backed up my ROM??? "Maybe not" using a program call Rom Backup. "I have not figure out how to to nandroid backup "not sure the right name"

I googled found many procedures on unlocking the bootloader but I can not get it work.

Download ADK

Found a place that has Fastboot download it

I even found out I need to copy file from ADK folder to the Fastboot folder

Held down the power button trackball got the correct screen "even though my old eyes have a hard time reading the little character"

connected my phone

Ran the batch file

It returns saying wait for device.

The device is connected, in the right mode, my device manage says the is an Android device connected.......

But no matter what I do I can not get the screen warning me that to unlock my bootloader I void my warranty.

I found here some theme labled that hey work Nexus One 2.2 and I want to try them but Metamprgh will not load new themes on a radio that has a locked bootloader.

I am not worried about losing my warranty I live in Canada if I ever need warranty work it be a hassle anyway.

I thought unlock the bootloader.

When the phone powers up login my Google Account, reload Titanium Back up to restore my my phone.

Back up the Rom once more using Rom Backup if I want to recover my stock Rom

Run Metamorph and play with the themes

But I can not unlock the bootloader ....... "waiting for device"

How can I unlock the Bootloader, I there a more current method?

What can I be doing wrong I see a device in my Device Manager?

Will my method for restoring my phone work, never done a full phone wipe?

FYI this forum is scary there should but a developer and a Noob section.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magma9495:
You don't need to unlock your bootloader. My bootloader is locked and I'm rooted. It seems like you're missing superuser.apk. You need that too allow all of the programs like ROM manager and Titanium Backup root permissions. I'm not sure how the one click app works but I know that it probably should have installed the superuser application to allow those apps root access. Check and see if its in your application draw. You might want to try "one click rooting again" because it seems like it didn't work.

Side note: Titanium Backup does not back up your ROM. It just backs up apps and their data stored on your phone so it can be restored when you flash a new ROM. The way you back up your ROM is through the android custom recovery using the nandroid feature.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Thanks Magma,

Yes Superuser is installed.

A program wants superuser access I can grant it.

Metamorph does do several checks and it needs superuser access.

It is my understanding superuser access gives apps access to system hardware but if you want to use Metamorph to change the standard Android Shell that is going to modify your ROM and you will need and unlocked bootloader.

Here is what happens when I run Metamorph it finds the zipped files on my SD card, I select a file, it exacts the package, I say update al .... PLEASE WAIT for 20 or 30 minutes, it may then tell me to reboot but nothing happens my theme is still stock Android 2.2

This is where you can find out about and download the One Click Root App, it is in this section themes and apps.

It roots you device but leaves the bootloader alone

I know titanium backup just restores all your applications and data. The way I understand it if I ever need to do a master reset, I login Google, download Titanimum back up use it to restore every thing else. Yes which every ROM I was running will not be touched.

I am pretty sure I need to unlock the Bootloader.

But to unlock my Bootloader I just as I said get please wait I tried everything.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Alright man, you need the Android sdk for your OS so go to the android site and get the SDK, then install drivers for phone, and you NEED a custom recovery to do a NANDROID of the ROM, from what i understand your like me

have everything stock but with root privileges! and i from what i know as of now, unlockBoot loader gives you the option to do fastboot, if you want to continue messing around with stuff i highly suggest you flash custom recovery like Amon-Ra or even clockwork(from market) then go to Nandroid back up, then flash a custom rom like Enomther's Rom that is nice and stock clean stable, but still able to do themes
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Wow lot to digest. I do have and install Android SDK the instructions in the tutorial I googled said I needed it, The Fastboot command needed files in the ADK directory.

The thing is since my command window did not see a device,

With your Nexus One in bootloader mode and connected to your computer via USB cable, go back to the command prompt and type “fastboot-windows oem unlock”.

Would even be able to flash anything?

At the end of the day I am very happy with Android 2.2 and I do not think I want custom roms at least for now. All I want is to get Metamorph to work so I can change how it looks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
try to type fastboot oem unlock
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
You do not need to unlock.

You used the one click root.

Now download Rom Manager and flash the Clockwork Recovery.

There, now you suddenly have a custom recovery, can flash custom roms, and flash custom themes on top of the roms.

And you still have a locked bootloader.

You don't even need to manually go into the recovery to flash your roms and themes, Rom Manager will do it for you. Chose the rom or update.zip file for the theme and it will automatically reboot and flash it for you.

From clockwork you can also make a backup of your phone. Through Rom Manager choose to back it up, and it will restart and do a nandroid backup for you automatically.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
try to type fastboot oem unlock (Done but it just responds wait for device)

Now download Rom Manager Done and it seemed to back up my OEM Rom no problem and flash the Clockwork Recovery. Question is this over writing existing Nexus One ROM because as I said since really have nothing against OEM ROM I would like to keep it?

There, now you suddenly have a custom recovery, can flash custom roms, and flash custom themes on top of the roms. At this point my phone would be powered up with the Clockwork Recovery ROM? I want to use Metamorph to flash themes on top of the Nexus One ROM

And you still have a locked bootloader.Well if Clock Recovery does the job and at the end of the day I get OEM 2.2 ROM which I can theme with Metamorph I am ok never unlocking the Bootloader.

You don't even need to manually go into the recovery to flash your roms and themes, Rom Manager will do it for you. Chose the rom or update.zip file for the theme and it will automatically reboot and flash it for you.

Yes Understood I have the program

From clockwork you can also make a backup of your phone. Through Rom Manager choose to back it up, and it will restart and do a nandroid backup for you automatically. But as the questions above do I really what to keep the Clockwork Recovery ROM. I do not know what the Clockwork recovery ROM does but I do just want to theme my Nexus One OEM ROM.

So let me see if I got the steps straight.

Head to the download section find the Clockwork recovery ROM.

Copy it to my SD Card.

Open ROM Manager and install it.

Reboot my Nexus One, the ROM manager forces the Reboot and I will be running my phone with Special ROM, old version of Android?

Then do I load my back my OEM ROM and modify it with Metamorph?

or is what loading the Clockwork ROM actually do is it is not a full ROM when I load it with ROM Manager what it does is add to my existing OEM ROM. This process will then let me modify the ROM with themes. When I reboot after loading the Clockwork ROM I will find the phone looks and behaves the same as always "running Android 2.2" but the Clockwork ROM will add files and when I use Metamorph it will work......

............. Man I am such a noob, but i guess at one time we were all noobs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
You are still mixed up:

Clockwork is not a rom. It is just replaces the stock recovery.

To install the Clockwork Recovery you:

1. Download Rom Manager

2. Press the first item "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"

Done, nothing has changed, except your recovery partition is now different, which allows the flashing of other stuff.

Anything you do from now on could wipe your curent install, so make sure things are backed up in case you want to go back.

Now from Rom Manager you can flash any other rom or update.zip

The biggest issue you might face is that I don't think you can theme the stock froyo rom. You will need a special de-odexed rom. So you would have to go to the development section and find a custom 'stock' rom. Then flash that one though Rom Manager.

Keep in mind, when you do all this, you will not get any OTA updates anymore either, unless you flash back to the real stock rom and the stock recovery. But most people don't care, since the custom roms will be updated eventually to the latest, if not before.

I need to learn how to use the search better. If I had read this first I assume I could have updated the radio without unlocking the bootloader. arg.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Yes I did not understand, ROM Manager first entry is Clockwork Recovery.

You said I can install themes using ROM manager?

I click on "Install ROM from SD Card", I had a pretty scary moment not know what I am doing I tried it the phone reboot to an "exclamation mark and Android". I pulled the battery and it booted.

This make me wonder if yor find an unstable theme or ROM how can you use ROM manager to restore a backup?

Could the reason Metamorph did not work is having "Clockwork Recovery"?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Sorry, but I am going to have to recommend you do a lot more reading in the development section, the wiki, and all the sticky posts. Don't try anything until you understand how linux works, partitions, bootloaders, how Android roms work, even how a metamorph works.

Spend a few weeks or a month reading about everything, through the whole threads before trying to jump in. That's how I learned everything.

You seem intelligent enough to do everything, but what you lack is an actual understanding of what those things are, so you just need to spend a lot more time on it.

When you do fully understand everything, it will be a breeze and you will enjoy it a lot more. You will be less likely to completely screw your phone, and if you do you will know exactly how to recover.

You maybe right, maybe I should give up for now. Learn to do a backup and restore using nandroid. Just not sure how much time I am willing to invest just to gain the able to put themes on my phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
Yeah, you shouldn't do anything yet, read up on stuff for fun until you know what is going on.

For instance, in what I quoted above, you understood the exact opposite of what he was saying.

He was upset that he didn't find out about this way to root before he unlocked. He didn't have to unlock and is now disappointed he did.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
OP. What ROM are you currently running? Stock FRF91 or something else?

To my understanding you need a De-Odexed ROM to apply themes that modify the framework.

Anyone has issues with syncing Google calendar to Captivate. One of my gmail calendars has multiple subcalendars, and none of them will sync to the Captivate calendar. The only way I check google calendar is set a bookmark shortcut to home page which is kind of frustrating since this is an android phone.
[Captivate General] boe_dye:
Pretty much what i have done in regards to syncing anything with google is to simply use the exchange feature and make all my accounts corporate.

My wife and I share a calander, so we have a shared google account set up as "corporate exchange" on my Galaxy and her iPhone.

I also have my own personal account for all my contacts setup as exchange and yet another account set up as exchange for photos I take for my business.

The sync seems to work better with exchange account setups as opposed to just email account settings.

The setup is a few extra steps, but quite easy.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Does anyone know how to change the defaults for a homescreen contact shortcut?

When you click the shortcut to a contact on the homescreen, several options come up at the top of the screen depending on what methods of communication you have for that person: Phone, Contact details, Text, Email, Map...

If there is more than one option for a particular communication method (say, you have both corporate email and gmail setup, when you click on the email icon, it will ask you which to use. When you click on "set default" it will always use what you chose.

Problem is, I chose the wrong method when I clicked "set default" and now I can't change it back. It wants to use my corporate account to send with rather than my gmail accound. And since it pulls up corporate email when you click on the email icon, it won't let you change the "from" to anything other than a corporate (exchange) account. (I have 2, and both show up, but not gmail.)

Anyway, it's a long read, but I was hoping someone knew how to reset the default.

I have tried:

- removing/recreating the shortcut

- changing my default email method in email accounts

- changing contact detailsm addresses, etc

Any help?
[Captivate General] Shovelhead84:
I am not sure if I am understanding your question(s) exactly correct. Try these and see if it helps.

Answer to your first question.

1. Click on contact shortcut.

2. Select "contacts" icon.

3. Press "menu" button to bring up options

4. select "Mark as default"

From here you can select all the default contact numbers, emails and addresses.

If I understood your last question, this should help.

1. Launch email app.

2. Long click on account you want to make default.

3. Scroll down and select "account settings"

4. There should be a selection (4th one down) for "Default Account". Check the radio button.

The default account should not be switched to the currently selected email account.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Okay, this will set the default for that contact, but I guess what I am missing is the Gmail icon in the list of contact options when I click on the shortcut.

I want to send from my Gmail account to this contact rather than from corporate, but there doesn't seem to be a way to make Gmail my default...

This has me thinking now... maybe I need to drop and recreate the contact in google contacts and remove from my corporate contacts.
[Captivate General] Shovelhead84:
So you want to add an extra menu item for gmail in the shortcut drop down menu?

Not sure how you would do this but I think it's a good idea.

I overcame this by adding my gmail as an account for the email manger instead of using the gmail specific application that comes with android. Now when I launch the email app I get a list of 3 accounts (gmail, hotmail, corporate). The currently default account has a check next to it. I have mine on gmail during the weekend and corporate during the week (Tasker FTW). The downside to this is that gmail seems to run a bit slower at times (few seconds) when syncing but not enough to make me change it back. I like having all the accounts in one place with the same management and notifications.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...just read the post again...I think i get it!

You want your default outgoing account to be based on the specific contact?

As in:

You email Joe Smith with gmail by default and Jane Andrews with corporate by default without making changes to account settings.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I could have sworn I had the gmail icon in there at one point.. of course I am several builds in now, so who knows...
