On the day the RC is released, there is no difference in that and the corresponding day's nightly. The next day, the nightly gets updated with the newest code changes and the RC remains the same. Rinse and repeat until they decide the codebase is stable enough to warrant another RC or a final cut.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Not that I have seen. As it is, it is not part of AOSP so it is difficult to modify. Youtube is for video's so it's not really meant for what you want it to do.

why not just go to the desktop youtube site?

I've never tried but I don't think the video will stop playing if you lock the screen.

[Q] How do I revert back after mistakenly installing the "Arabic localization"?

Don't ask me how but my dad somehow went into the "Value Added Installer" in the menu and installed the "arabic localization."

The phone restarted a couple of times, and now everything is in Arabic! Neither him nor me have any idea how to GO BACK to the way things were in English (noob alert).

Please help me out, as this is very distressing. I don't know what do to. Have tried both soft and hard reset. I managed to change the multilingual settings so that now at least some text is written in English while the rest is still in Arabic.

How do I revert back to the old settings? Please try and explain in step-by-step instructions. If I have to download some ROM and install that, please tell me which one! Thanks in advance.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qingcai:
for some recent roms, they all use standdard ext2 image, it's better you work it on linux,

on linux you can mount the rootfs.img data.img, system.ext2 image to linux, then you can easily to copy & paste it.

and you'd know how android & linux boot up by adding & edition those boot config file.

and hd2 android is not standard rom like other cellphone's, hd2 rom don't need to pack into a single file, this is more easy for edition. and everyone can split the rom into several files.

few files information:

system.ex2 will be mount as /system, where android files located

data.img will be mount as /data, where user data located

initrd.gz, linux boot from here.

rootfs.img in some roms, the initrd.gz boot up will load this file, and mount this file as /, and main boot files are here. if you don't have this file, the main boot config files are in initrd.gz.

I am not guru, just tell what I know.

For an application to actually replace the calendar there's stock android one, should find it on xda somewhere.

Nice list anyhow, also looking for some replacements so I'll be watching.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] fumuthabeotch:
Music Player: N1/stock Android player is pretty good, works better with headset controls as well, found it on xda somewhere

Video Player: Just downloaded mVideoPlayer (free), pretty good, more options than the crappy Sammy default, actually changes screen orientations! (I hated how the Sammy one didn't)

Calendar: Smooth calendar widget (free), I like it, and I just didn't feel like paying for Pure Calendar

You didn't mention podcasts but if other ppl need to know, Doggcatcher is expense but totally worth it. I tried literally every other android podcatcher and they just didn't have the features and the simplicity of Doggcatcher. (and the headset control capability!)

Ya and root explorer and beautiful widgets are must haves.

Replace stock messaging apps?

Does anybody know how I can stop the default sms and mail apps from running or at least from showing notifications if the n bar? I have handcent and touchdown and the default apps are a waste of resources...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Maddmatt:
You can disable the default SMS messaging app's notifications in its settings. Open Messaging, press the menu key, and the rest is obvious enough.

I think the default Gallery app is terrible. Sure it has a cool interface but the images have their colour dropped to 16-bit and they don't display at their full resolution. Terrible for viewing photos.

I found an app called "Large Image Viewer" which is decent, actually loads images in their full quality and you can zoom in to see the details, unlike the default Galley app where all the detail is lost.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/image.viewer

Is there anything better, that has more options such as deleting images and a better interface? Not that I'm unhappy with it, it's good. But I see room for improvement.

I don't know why people would want to replace the music player with the stock Android one and lose the effects. And don't you lose the 5.1 sound if you use a different video player?

I also found a decent voice recorder, named simply "Voice Recorder" which is capable of recording in the background and when the phone screen is off unlike the stock one.

It also has a (rather ugly looking) home screen widget.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.tokasiki.android.voicerecorder

And a good IM app worth mentioning is Ebuddy. Good and reliable in my experience, I've had Nimbuzz give me problems with a contact not showing up in MSN and Fring has an interface that looks like it's for children, although it seems like an excellent app.

[Captivate General] mchimney:
Hey all,

Not that i want to, but i was wondering how if possible, to unroot the samsung captivate. I got it rooted and installed the JH2 rom, but i don't know how to revert if i can.

I see the odin one click downloader to go back to the stock rom, but i don't know if that will unroot and make my phone as it was.

I would also like to know if i'm rooted and running the jh2 rom, what would happen if i click the reset button in the privacy menu of the settings.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
It's called a one click tool for a reason. It reverts you entirely back to the original "out of the box" feeling. I'm pretty sure even att or samsung could figure out it had a different rom on it.

Also, rooting and flashing a rom are not the same thing

Sent from my Samsung i897
[Captivate General] mchimney:
Hey thanks for the reply.

I know that rooting and flashing a rom are not the same thing which is why i was confused about that one click tool. I was unsure if it would just revert a rom and not a root or if it would do both.

Thanks for the clarification.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
Odin will perform a full flash of whatever ROM (the one-click just happens to do JF6 for AT&T) you want. This will replace everything, including partitioning even (that's what the .pit file is, if memory serves). Basically, I'd be willing to believe if you were to use Odin with the JF6 ROM and drop it off at AT&T, they would be none the wiser. You can also, of course, use this tool to flash the i9000 ROMs with our captivate kernel (buggy at best) or even use the new JH2 ROM (as you obviously know by saying you're on JH2).

A factory reset will only put you back to "factory" settings, I don't even know if it will restore missing AT&T apps, but I doubt it. But it will keep you on your current ROM. So factory reset on JH2 will keep you on JH2, while flashing with the one-click tool on JH2 will put you on JF6. Sorry if this is repetitive and long-winded, but I figured any additional clarification for others couldn't hurt

Edit: I should also add there IS a way to unroot somewhere on this forum, too lazy to do the search right now. There's a one-click root/unroot that I believe SHOULD work with JH2.
[Captivate General] mchimney:
Haha, i had to read this a couple times but i learned more in that post than i ever knew about these phones. I thank you for that. This definitely clarified allot of questions that i probably would have plagued the forums with.

[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Long story. So I made a thread about how the proximity sensor doesnt work and after some testing, I think that it might be because I have a bad Phonebook.apk and/or Phone.apk (They are from the theme repo)

So I found out that although the proximity sensor does not work on this screen

it actually kinda works (sometimes doesnt work and has a 5s delay from putting finger on sensor and the screen locking) on this screen

and IDK why that dialpad is grey because my normal dialpad is like that

Is one the Phone.apk and the other the Phonebook.apk?

So im wondering maybe I have a faulty Phone.apk/Phonebook.apk

So does anyone have working Phone/Phonebook.apk that they want to upload? Unskinned or skinned as black like the dialpad I have (not the gray one).

and if its not skinned, im wondering if I skin it myself (by replacing the images from the old apks with the bad sensor) will it screw up the phone if I screw up? Cause I once screwed up a framework-res and it wouldnt boot.

Phew, Thanks!

I would suggest DesktopVirtualizer, it's much more user friendly and does the same job. You just add a widget called "desktopvirtualizer (SS)" and it let's you choose the application and the icon you want for it + custom text with custom color and background. I think either applications don't have any icon packs included.

You could use an editing program such as Photoshop or Gimp to resize your pics to the right resolution. Photbucket can resize as well.

480x800 for portrait, or 800x480 for landscape

If what you're trying to do is get the image to also cover the taskbar and softkey bar (top and bottom of the screen), you'll need a tool such as CHT to work that magic for you.
