[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rabbarabba:
just wondering if anyone knows of there is a way to change the picture of your folders... I don't use a home replaceinnt at all so I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring this out...

Thanks In advance!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] the3dman:
You would have to edit the images in the framework.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Genesis1791:
I think he wants to have different icons for different folders, editing the icon in the framework would not work for that. You think that they would have include a way to change folder icons tho wouldn't you.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Shagman68:
I got Harley folders in my Harley theme I made.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
You can use better cut... Edit any shortcut...

My phone's been flashed more than Girls Gone Wild...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
or so it claims.... wouldn't let me select my folder to edit it also wouldn't let me create a new folder within it. So i requested a refund.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] iwillkillyou:
Why don't you try App Organizer? You can create your own folder with widgets and custom picture.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Talltexan you did something wrong... It works for me...

Adw launcher does it now too...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] talltexan:
Longpress on home screen then select shortcuts bettercuts but i couldn't find the option for a folder. Ended up downloading Apps Organizer and was able to to make a folder and change the icon on it.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
ok I did it using bettercut through astro... so I guess it might not be supproted I just used a back door..
[G1 Android Development] Tornadobarrage:
i do not have a custom recover on the phone after i rooted it and have RA. what should i do? also i am stuck on the g1 screen thx.
[G1 Android Development] fh47qu:
well if its not reading the dream file then u dont have root...the dream file needs to be installed to gain root. i would go back into recovery wipe everything back to stock and go through the root process again. check the xda thread on how to do it...it is very detailed and will guide u on how its done properly. i used it and my g1 is working perfectly
[G1 Android Development] fh47qu:
dude i just re-read the post. first of all, how can you have Amon-RA recovery and say you have no custom recovery. Amon is a custom recovery. also, like i said earlier the dream file is what you need installed for root. it downgrades the phone to rc29 where the security hole was never patched. please re-write the post with more detail. what steps did u exactly do? when you go into recovery, what is shown on your screen? is it an exclamation point? if it is u dont have a custom recovery installed. your best bet is to wipe the phone and re-root, but please answer my questions first. im more than happy to help you out, but please give more detailed info. i mean step by step details from the beginning to the end

this will help you a LOT http://code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Get_Root
[G1 Android Development] langrisser:
I had this problem couple days ago when rooting a g1, I had a bunch of files on my sdcard, so i formattted the sd and placed both dreaimg and update files again on sd, problem solved.
[G1 Android Development] Tornadobarrage:
Ok b4 i rooted the phone everything was fine downgraded the flahsed with the RA recovery then when i install a custom rom for some reason non of the roms worked so i started looking around the forum and someone said to use an update.zip file and then lost the custom recovery. Now im stuck on the g1 screen and my phone cannot read the update nor dream.
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Anybody got any idea on how to remove scratches or chipped paint from our desire?

Just chipped mine... I was asleep and bump the table where I usually put my phone and it fell... the next morning the graphite painted part had a chip on the upper front left of the housing.
[Desire Accessories] cosmindv:
hello

i'm thinking of removing the entire paint off the htc device once it's really scratched, i am going to buy a desire and noticed lot of problems with the paint on htc devices, my chrome line from the touch dual chipped of compleatly and i used really fine sandpaper to remove it and it worked fine.

Something better whould be polishing cream from a jewlery, it is very fine and i think it does a god job on screens (might damage touchscreen dough, i don't know if it's allowed on touchscreen) god luck keep me posted,, once mine is scratched, i'm going to need help
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Actually, I bought a replacement housing for my desire and planning to replace the front housing when it's completely ruined. I just thought I'd ask first before I go ahead with it, cause I know it would be a pain changing it. I tried searching... and I don't think anybody is brave enough to change their full housing, cause I haven't found a single tutorial on how to disassemble a desire.
[Desire Accessories] artukas613:
There is a some tutorial.

http://tjworld.net/blog/htc-desire-tear-down

I think there is 50-50 chance that you will need new digitizer screen as well. Its glued to frame and needs to be separated by force (easy to crack)

:-)
[Desire Accessories] vidmas:
this is a for replacing of touch screen. Scratches from plastic you can remove by polishing them to the white paper (simply office paper, ists better ~40g/m2)
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Thanks for the link. I think It's a little bit pain in the... but it looks like It's manageable. I've done some several teardowns of my own before with different devices, so I think it's no problem at all. The teardown tutorial was very insightful. Cheers!
[Desire Accessories] kaiseris:
May I ask what kind of housing you have purchased? Is it OEM? How much was it?

I got scammed on Ebay by dishonest seller. Phone looks terrible and is covered in deep scratches and dents. So I'm investigating just in case PayPal dispute goes wrong. Found several sellers on Ebay claiming that housings sold by them are OEM. But I doubt they are OEM, will fit properly and are of good quality in general.

P.S. volume down button also doesn't work. Any ideas if it's a simple/inexpensive fix or not?
[Desire Accessories] port187:
My Desire's back housing has blackspots due to the (lift up) patch/sack I use.

I thought it was inkt but after cleaning it with alcohol etc it seems that the paint has just warn off sadly.

So also looking for a replacement housing now on ebay, tho the cheapest one I can find is 40 euro which is kinda steep for me (as I only need the backside) plus no garantee that these are real OEM as mentioned above.
[Desire Accessories] landwomble:
It might be worth asking htc what they would charge to replace. They were kind of reasonable last time I used them..
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Sorry I didn't notice the replies here. Anyways, I got my Desire complete housing replacement and it's good actually, the quality is good and almost looks like the original one... I say almost because the only difference I noticed was the color of the graphite brown in the front. The replacement had a little more darker shade than the original. But, other than that... everything is good, and the fittings is perfect. I haven't gone on with putting the replacement housing cause my Desire is still in good condition and with just some minor scratches. I'll wait until it's full of scratch before I will do the replacement. Cheers! I will attach some picture for comparison later ok. Cheers!
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Well actually I was asking HTC for a warranty claim but they told me that's it's my fault and it's not covered... so I was pissed at them and made a full complain about their service. I was complaining that, how come that the paint was very easily scratched and got ruined when I just dropped it from the table to the CARPET. I dropped 3 of my previous iPhones several times on the floor without getting any scratch on them.
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Actually you can buy an original back cover from HTC for 15 pounds or $19 at http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=196001.
[Desire Accessories] landwomble:
You're not going to get a scratched casing done under warranty. I had an old HTC WinMo Artemis phone fitted with a new case and new trackball assembly by HTC UK for around 30UKP about 2 years ago...it came back with an official ROM flashed back on it but I was very happy with the service...
[Desire Accessories] aalviedo:
Well I would send my phone for repairs even if I have to pay for the service, just to get fitted with a new housing and get it back the way it was. My problem is the nearest HTC Care Center where I at is in the next City, and that's 6 hours drive away. Thanks anyway for the info.
[Desire Accessories] elmalote:
polish the plastic with normal paper?? Does that work?
[Desire Accessories] dogre:
Here is what you can do with sand paper :

Legendary Mod! ;)
[Desire Accessories] rouvax:
done wtih sand paper, it's like aliminium isnt it plastic ?
[Desire Accessories] dogre:
It's aluminium =)
[Desire Accessories] predo:
brushed aluminium. Nice.

I take it you had to dismantle the phone or were you brave enough to sand it down in one piece?
[Desire Accessories] rouvax:
it look nice, I can try it too one day.

I'm asking also...
[Desire Accessories] dogre:
You can do it directly on the phone but you have to protect the screen, the buttons (Home, menu, etc) and the black part around the shape with 3 or 4 layers of adhesive tape.

The most sensitive part is between the screen and the buttons. Be careful.

I did it because of the scratch... (and maybe because I'm crazy) but you have to be sure of what youre doing... once you start you can't get back!

I made it with something like this

A nails buffer with 4 faces. Really great because it follows the phone's shape.
[G1 General] swee08315:
Well, it's been fun, but enough is enough. I'm sick of using these low specs and want to get a new android.

My g1 is:

-unlocked

-Rooted (I can unroot if you think that'll get me a better price)

-A little rough around the edges, but I plan to refurb it before selling.

-Screen is PERFECT no scratches at all

-Original box and booklets

-Htc headset adapter included (but not the headphones)

-Usb cable + charger

-2 screen protectors (plus the one currently in use)

-Black case

-Extended battery (although the extended battery cover is cracked and the case doesn't fit over the phone when you're using it

I think that just about wraps it out.

Anybody know how much I can get from it?

Should I even bother refurbishing it?
[G1 General] Uncle Irish:
I just bought one for $50 of craigslist

Doesn't have the box, but has everything else, two batteries, screen protector and 2 hard cases

Flashing it now....
[G1 General] swee08315:
Ive seen them selling much higher on ebay.

I'm hoping the bid can atleast get up to 200.

But an ebay search for a new and unlocked one shows them at around 300 - 400. but I probably wont get near that
[G1 General] jamesd86:
Just going by the ebay listing now, i'd say a reasonable offer would be between 75 and 150, not 200.
[G1 General] lbcoder:
You can get a NEW android phone with specs that average out to equivalent for about $150 CDN.
[G1 General] Kensei22:
i got mine new from ebay for around 120 and it came with alot of extras. and you could probably sell yours used for around the same price
[G1 General] jamesd86:
new w/o a three year butt-rapage from a cell company??? didn't think so.

but yeah, if someone were looking to get on a new contract, there are better phones out there. not much, but better.
[G1 General] swee08315:
Well, I put it in ebay and put the starting bid at 200

No bids yet, but 16 watcher.

That's always a good sign, although I don't think anybodies going to bid till last second
[G1 General] Bzerk1:
Yeah id say you should set it at 150 to start. but you can do what ya like. I have a question though? pretty noobish, what exactly is refurbishing it? i mean what do you actually do to the phone for it to be considered refurbished?
[G1 General] swee08315:
I was going to buy the replacement shell from ebay so that it would be good as new.

I really wasn't expecting to get any attention from the $200 pricetag, but if people are watching it that means they're thinking "its ok assuming I don't find a better price"
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
Having trouble with Long Press EndKey and Voice Command starting with long press sendkey. I found a thread about copying shortcuts and renaming to Long_End.lnk. I tried this with one of the 3 voice command shortcuts (renamed to Long_Send.lnk) and it starts voice command but doesn't take you to any of the commands you ask for.

What in the kitchen sets these shortcuts?

Sprint Touch Pro

WM 23569

Sense 2016
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I think the links are coded into shell32.exe, or somewhere like that.

Too bad you've got a sprint TP; it doesn't come with a PTT button, does it? You should think about getting AE Button-it opens up a lot of button assignments. One of the volume buttons may work best for VC. Long press end and send kind of suck for VC. Hell, I stopped cooking in LP Endkey a long time ago. That package represents everything that's wrong w/ HTC. Without it, LP end locks the device, anyway.
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
I actually don't use either of them. Making public ROM and some users want them to work. I just don't understand why they work on stock rom and not on mine.

Thanks Farmer Ted
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
I was thinking about it more, and it's in the keypad.dll. I've been using a 6.1 keypad.dll, because the home button goes to Today instead of the start menu (the home button is also mappable with AE Button with this keypad.dll). This is in the s000 file of the module:

\ W i n d o w s \ L o n g _ P o w e r . l n k \ W i n d o w s \ L o n g _ P T T . l n k \ W i n d o w s \ L o n g _ S e n d . l n k

Here's the one that I use, but you probably want a Sprint keypad.dll. Just open up the file or the s000 file of the module and see if you can find the references you want. There's also a reference to "L o n g E n d F u n c t i o n," which I guess is why it locks the phone w/o the gawdawful piece of crap long press endkey package included.

If you want to test out this dll, just recmod it, drop it in your windows folder, soft reset and see how things work. Don't waste the time to cook and flash it. It will probably work ok.
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
Thanks again. I knew it had to be in OEM Drivers but couldn't figure it out. I will test and report back later.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
If you find a keypad.dll that works, you can just make a cab file for a hot-fix for your users. There's no sense in re-cooking for this.
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
Shouldn't I be able to open keypad.dll with ResHacker?
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
Yeah, I was able to (after recmoding the posted keypad), but there's not a whole lot to see. There's language stuff in the string tables:

STRINGTABLE
LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US
{
16529,	"Phone"
16530,	"Calculator"
16531,	"Desktop"
}

And then some version info:

1 VERSIONINFO
FILEVERSION 5,12,0,0
PRODUCTVERSION 5,12,0,0
FILEOS 0x40000
FILETYPE 0x2
{
BLOCK "StringFileInfo"
{
BLOCK "040904E4"
{
VALUE "FileVersion", "5.12.0.0"
VALUE "OriginalFilename", "keypad.dll"
}
}
[Windows Mobile] NRGZ28:
For me, dropping in a keypad.dll (at least for the TP) doesn't work. I HAVE to cook it in :/ This is a true for a few other system drivers...
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
I have cooked in every keypad.dll I can find still a no go. I even tried 21054 voice command with every keypad.dll.
[Windows Mobile] swinn:
Use Raphael Keyboard Config. It replaces keypad.dll and lets you configure every button to do anything you want. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=521786
[Windows Mobile] Jbradthomas:
Thanks Farmer Ted, NRGZ28 and Swinn for your help and info. Swinn's suggestion of Keyboard Config fixed my key problem. Now just to fight with voice command.

it will go away right? i have rooted 2.2 and for reasons unknown verizon offered me the update for my droid, am already on 2.2 why would i want that version?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcattell:
So that's the question, I wanted to try another rom, once I do that am I able to just restore my programs, and all settings? I am fully rooted and currently running the Fresh Rom. But I've been wanting to try different roms (still have the Windows Mobile mindset), and not have to set everything up again..Thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaelek:
This should be in Q&A but yes, use something like Titanium Backup and you can backup & restore all your apps and their settings/data.

Edit: be smart and do a nand backup before experimenting with other roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamcattell:
Great thanks, I thought it was that easy..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akajeeves:
Could someone please point me in the right direction for valid info regarding manually backing up SMS/MMS info. I am trying to determine if it is possible to manually back up my messages in effort to maintain them without extra system settings that may conflict with whatever ROM I happen to be running.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] udK:
Look in the market for SMS Backup & Restore app ;)

I use SMS Backup+ that available on Android market. This application backups to and restore from Google account. Very convenient way :)

3G speed in sprint here are pretty unstable (Mayaguez-Cabo Rojo) yesterday i got 1.2 Mb dwn and 680 kb up but the is just one time. My average connection home is 200kb and 500kb, it really sucks...hope they work on that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miguelfp1:
how slow? I know I've also noticed it, getting anywhere from 200kbps to maybe topping out at 600kbps in Bayamon.

I'm using an AT&T HTC Aria, which for SOME reason doesn't have the non-market apps choice in the menu, so I'm looking for the default stock settings.apk app.

I can't seem to figure out how to move files to and from my computer and my phone, so if anybody could tell me how to do that, that would be great, too.

Thanks. :)

Google Voice for Android lets you place calls and send SMS showing your Google number. Listen to voicemail and/or read transcripts from the Google Voice inbox. Google Voice account required, currently only available in the US. IMPORTANT: You must open Google Voice at least once after upgrading to route calls. Google’s Google Voice app for Android offers full integration between your phone and the Google Voice system, allowing you to both make and receive calls from your Google Voice telephone number.

There are a lot of reviews on android marke, good or bad. What do you think of it?
[Android Apps and Games] d0ugie:
Who wants to know?
[Android Apps and Games] cs455:
I LOVE Google Voice, one of the main reasons I bought an android in the first place....

but as the screenshot in the original post depicts - I HATE having my voicemails, missed calls, and text messages all in one 'inbox'.

I know I can go into the menu, go into 'labels', and select the 'text label only', but that is a pain to do every time.

Nothing would make me happier than to find an app similar to the new GV Mobile Plus app for the iPhone.... with a 'bar' at the bottom that easily allows switching between Voicemail, SMS, History, and Settings.

Anyone help finding such an app or utility would be greatly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] n7aq00:
I can't get google voice to work with Sprint..
[Android Apps and Games] lolcopter:
Works great for voicemail. Don't really use text that much. Would like the option to block callers within the app
[Android Apps and Games] Vanquish46:
Could someone please explain the benefit of google voice over the standard phone and messaging applications?
[Android Apps and Games] cs455:
There a number of benefits:

it allows you to use a second phone #. In my case, I use my Google Voice number as my primary number with friends/family/everything.

The Google Voice number can also be forwarded to multiple phones. For example, when someone calls my number, it rings my cell phone & house phone, as well as my computer, via Gmail. And because the Gmail function works via internet, as opposed to cell reception or phone line, I can use it in my basement for both calls and text messages (which are unlimited)

But the app itself, as I said in my original post, is lacking. It desperately needs updating. while i do use it as my primary messaging application, i really wish it was as intuitive as the GV Mobile Plus application for iPhone
[Android Apps and Games] frostbyte32:
Yep, it's free texting. I gave my Google Voice # to everyone that had my # and now they call and text that #. I no longer have to pay $10 or whatever it is a month to text, which over the course of a year saves $120ish. However, you do lose the ability to send picture messages, but I just upload them to Facebook and tag the people instead.

One thing I like about it is that since you are using your Google Voice # as your primary line it allows you to control if or when you receive phone calls. If I am working on a project and absolutely don't want to receive any phone calls then I can set it to "Do Not Disturb" and it will forward all phone calls straight to voicemail. You can also set it to forward calls to voicemail after a certain time so if you use it for your business then you can have an "Office is closed" voicemail, which sounds much more professional.

Also, one thing I like is that you can setup custom voicemail greetings based on who is calling. I have special voicemails setup for my parents so that when they get my voicemail it says "Hey mom, sorry I missed your call." You can set it up for anyone that way.

At work I constantly have Google Voice up on my computer and use it to text my boss and anyone else. It is much easier to type on my computer than on my phone.

The downside...you have to be mindful that if you call a lot of people on the same network as you then you will be charged minutes. My wife has started using it to call her family and we usually have no issues with our minutes, but since she started using it we almost went over. So we set it to "Ask me before each call" if we want to use Google Voice or our carrier to make the call.

Again, you do lose the picture/video messaging, but I'm okay with that.

Other than that I love it and don't see myself ever stopping using it.

I really wish it was in the UK :( I would love the chance to use it over here.
