[Epic 4G General] mommasboy:
Is anyone else upset that sprint removed the unlocking puzzle pieces? I actually liked it when I played with the Vibrant. Once rooted do you think developers will be able to port it over from the other Galaxy S devices to the Epic?
[Epic 4G General] Altos:
More than likely this will be an easy port. I'd attempt to do it myself right now if:

1) I had a dump of a Vibrant/Captivate, and

2) If I had an Epic in hand. :P
[Epic 4G General] mommasboy:
Lol, well hopefully somebody who has both can help me once I get my Epic, lol.
[Epic 4G General] robl45:
I want this too, seems pretty cool. can't wait to get the epic.
[General Questions and Answers] FunkyMcBain:
Hi guys, first off let me say that from the few days I've spent on xda it looks like this is the place to be for everything Android, so I'm glad I found it.

I'm new to Android and looking for info. I'm not looking to develop but I'm looking for solid info, just some links if you have them, on how Android works and how everything interacts together. Basically general info so that I can understand what I'm doing a bit better. Right off the top of my head a few things that I'm looking for info for are:

If I install a different kernel, what kind of stuff do I lose? For example, if I'm running CM6 and it has FLAC support, if I install a new kernel will that wipe it out. I don't think it will since FLAC is software but I'd like to know.

How do themes and skins work in Android? Are there theme managers or if you install a theme are you stuck on it.

Can I and how do I remove things I don't want? For example Amazon MP3. Is there a package manager in Android for that kind of stuff?

Just generally how things all interact.

Those are specific questions but that's to illustrate the kind of stuff I'm looking for. There's a little bit of information overload when googling around for Android stuff so any help in pointing me to some good resources will be great.

I have a Nexus One, which I have rooted and am running CM6 on it right now, but that was just done by the seat of my pants reading here and there. Now I'd like to know WTF I did haha :)

Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] stuckedinsweden:
NOW I have the solution!!! TAA DAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

At least it worked for me!

Removed facebook app and facebook account from Settings-Account and Syng...rebooted phone.

- Enabled Wifi

- Went to Settings-Account and Sync.

- Added facebook account again with SNS settings (syns interval) set to once a day.

- Made sure I saw the two arrows in the white cirkel spinning around indicating sync.

- Held my finger down to the home screen for 2 seconds to add a Android widget - Power control.

- Enabled Sync (the two arrows in the white cirkel spinning around indicating sync)

- Went to Contacts.

- Pressed Menu - Get Friends

- Next screen showed me my facebook account- Pressed it

- NOW I saw ALL my facebook contacts on my screen!

- Clicked CHOOSE ALL and then syn/save

- Checked in Contacts - Menu - Display Options,. that my Facebook account was checkmarked!

TAAAAAAAAAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mderm:
and in addition you can skip first 6 steps;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
Also, if you for some reason like the Facebook app, it's perfectly fine to install it as long as you don't allow it to sync your contacts. TouchWiz contacts does the syncing just fine. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] marthell:
I think that they managed to fix the problem. I didn't do any of these steps, and still got a full facebook sync.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mickeko:
I haven't had problems with my facebook sync since the end of june, so I'm not even sure there has been a problem at all. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ssj4Gogeta1:
@stuckedinsweden: Thanks, my Twitter contacts sync wasn't working and I'd forgotten all about the get friends option. I just had to go to menu in Contacts and select get friends. The first few steps are unnecessary as mderm pointed out.

But I think the new contacts should be added automatically. I shouldn't have to use "get friends" every time I follow someone.

Hi

I have seen a lot of traffic about not being able to run iGo Primo in portrait mode, mostly in other THEME threads.

I started this one specifically to gather information about portrait mode for this otherwise excellent program.

Does anybody have a Portrait mode DATA.ZIP that they can share?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] talha936:
I need the following HTC Wizard apps:

-An app which locks the touch screen and keypad and can be unlocked by pressing a combination of buttons (Like left softkey + right softkey) like in symbian and java phones.

-A good java emulator

-A notes app like WM5 built-in notes app which supports recognition of what you draw.

Please post here if you have.

PS: I'm a newbie here so I apologize if these apps are already uploaded.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] n2rjt:
#1: you can configure the standard lock to unlock with a simple numeric PIN or a more complex passphrase. You can configure it to lock with a timeout ... I use one hour: when I haven't used the phone for an hour it automatically locks. You can also get S2U2 or other locking programs.

#2: Java ... look for "Esmertec Jbed".

#3: bring up the notes app, then click on the soft keyboard. click on the little up-arrow beside the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen, and you might find other keyboard options including recognition. Some cooks left it out of their ROMs to save space, but it's a standard thing.

Lots of free apps are available. One excellent source is OMarket. Also search the xda-developer forums, especially the development forums, for old threads where people may have attached cab files or zips of cab files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] talha936:
#1: I got the lock application but still thanks for telling

#2: Thanks!

#3: I don't mean that. I mean when you draw something on the screen and then go to Tools > Recognize, it recognizes the letters you have drawn and shows them as text. That feature is not in my TNT Rom. I think it's only for WM5. Do you have such a plugin to enable that?

Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] n2rjt:
Ah, I know what you mean. I don't clearly remember but I think someone posted a cab for that in one of the ROM development threads.
[General Questions and Answers] veira:
I've seen a lot of custom roms and Android software for windows mobile. But are there others like maemo?

I've seen a BlackBerry os on a HTC Diamond floating around on youtube and other sites. I've seen Sybian s60 on HTC P3470 Pharos.

Just would like to know if its possible to get maemo also?
[Streak 5 General] STraver:
Hi Team,

I have some ringtones installed on the SD card from my old phone, but I don't seem to be able to select them from the ringtones menu. Just the ones that came with the phone. Do I need some software to change to a custom ringtone? Thanks!

:confused:
[Streak 5 General] tomqman:
tone picker is free and does the job :)
[Streak 5 General] mionetto:
hi install a file explorer an make a folder on sdcard with name "media" in this folder you creat a folder with name "ringtones" put your ringtones in this folder and restart your phone...

the same with all other rings

media/alarms

media/notifications

sorry for my english i from german.... i hope i can help you
[Streak 5 General] Meltus:
Helpful first post :D

Yes, this is the preferred method as android can then separate your ringtones so they wont show up in your music player.
[Streak 5 General] STraver:
Got It!

That worked perfectly! Thanks for the help!:D
[Streak 5 General] HJzeBig:
Thanks a lot It works perfectly.
[Streak 5 General] Amdathlonuk:
Now scour the forums for all the other ROMS and rip the tones from them! :D
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Yes dam good first post i did not know that and i think it should be in the FAQ'S thanks mate:)
[Streak 5 General] Amdathlonuk:
The 4 folders on your card should be

media/alarms

media/ringtones

media/notifications

media/ui

Obviously you can put any sounds you want in each one, although I wouldn't recommend an MP3 for a ui sound otherwise, each key stroke will take about 3 mins :D
[Streak 5 General] lufc:
Thanks mate i had all my ringtones showing up in my music player but not no more :)
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
I apologize if this has come up before, I did search and didn't find anything. I'm looking for a tool that I can remotely control my phone via my windows desktop. I use my phone all day at work listening to music, etc...

I've downloaded the latest release of screencast, and am able to see my phones screen, but no keyboard/mouse input is working so I still have to control the phone from the screen on the phone.

It appears that other people are having the same issue with this app. Anyone got the screencast app working properly on the vibrant or have any other suggestions for different apps?

Thanks,

Jeremiah
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
What do you mean you downloaded the lastest version of Screencast? I dont see an app called Screencast in the market, only an app that accesses ScreenCast Online videos called ScreenCastsOnline.
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Ah, ok. Did you root your device?
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
Yep, device is rooted, other people are having the same issue. there are some work arounds other's are using, but didn't work for me. I just tried out vnc server for android and that worked ok, but no landscape mode. And I have to wake up my phone from the screen after it went out to be able to do anything with it, which defeats the purpose for me.

I guess I'll keep searching, the vncserver for android is pretty sweet though.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neckface:
So I've been fiddling with this theme since last night for personal use, and I was wondering if there's any other beer lovers who would actually use this theme, or a series of others like it, for ADW.

Yes, no, maybe so? Should I even be doing this? Lol Seems like a lawsuit would be imminent. More than likely, right? Anyway. Just looking for some feedback. I'd appreciate it. Thanks. :)

And sorry about the grainy/pixelated screen shot. :\

If you have any requests, don't be afraid to submit them! Conqu1stador will update the second post in this thread with requests and ideas!

I'd really appreciate any help on this. If you're good with PhotoShop or even if you just have awesome ideas like thenewguy821 then, please, step right up. :)

So this is thenewguy821's idea for a livewallpaper that I and possibly you (o_O) will be working on. Maybe even a bootanimation.

Here's a concept for the ROM I'm working on, "Black Betty"

It will be based off of Calkulin's EViO 2 Series.

I wanna take my time on this, as it'll be my first. But there's gonna be some very heavy themeing. I will need a handful of testers/partners, and I'll let you know when I'm ready for that. Stay tuned,ladies and jellyspoons.

That is currently my priority, then the LWP, then the ADW themes, although I'm trying my durndest to portion my time as evenly as possible on each project. Already got some icons lined up for a few ADW themes.

can't wait to see your retro-pin-up-chick theme'd ROM ......that sounds interesting
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
Is there a way to theme in a different lock screen image than the wallpaper? I think it would be kinda cool (especially with a pin-up girl theme) to have the lock bar as a "Censored" bar that when unlocking the phone grants you a little peek.... :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mmegalodon:
Woot! Thread gets better and better. Definitely looking forward to that theme as well. Time should be no issue as long as quality is achieved. Cannot wait!

A Guinness lwp, that is one of the most epic ideas I think I have heard of. That would be the one and only lwp I would grace my Evo with. The perfect pour video linked earlier would make a great one IMO. I hope it comes to be, I would gladly make it the 5th app I ever paid for.

[EVO 4G General] fldash:
Have there been any reports of bad touchscreens? We just got our EVO's a week or two ago, and my wife has been complaining that it's not responding to her touches and she has to select things multiple times. I noticed it somewhere too when messing with her phone but thought it an anomoloy. Now I'm a bit concerned.

Since we are within 30 days, and the phone has had no abuse, would this be covered by any warranty even if I don't have Sprint insurance?

What steps should I take? Is there anything I can do to further test the touchscreen to see if it's really bad?

I'm going to remove the screen protector tonight just in case that is causing the issue. Has anyone had any similar issues?

There were some pretty bad touch response problems with the first couple versions of 2.1. I think the first 1.47 was when they fixed them.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
Until you use the phone without a screen protector its hard to say if its really the screen. If it is still doing it then yes that would be an exchange issue and should cost you nothing.
[EVO 4G General] fachadick:
My wife has nails (not even long nails, but long enough), and when she uses my Evo, she has to use the ball of her fingertips instead of the top of her finger. She can try and press the same spot repeatedly and it won't register, whereas it always goes through the first time when I use my fingertip. She gets incredibaly frustrated in the car when we're listening to pandora, and she tries to thumb up or thumb down a song. She'll press it 10 times and nothing, but when I hit the same exact spot, it will work the first time, every time.

I think it's funny.

"If your contacts are Google ones then the details and photos will be re-synced back to you phone after the update, Have a look at your Gmail account on a pc and check. "

Any way to easy convert phone contacts to google contacts? (Cant find Contactsync anymore on market, this app should do the trick)

I also haven't seen that triangle icon in a long time (not that it should be too often, but in the tunnel to NYC it should pop up and doesn't.)

I've heard that calling into Sprint for something to "push" into your phone can fix this. Now if I call into sprint, what should I ask for specifically? They definitely aren't mind readers especially now that I'm not running their garbage anymore.
