Hi all.

I use HTC Sync to sync my local Outlook calendar to my phone. I'm prohibited from using any software to sync directly to my Google calendar.

I would like to move the HTC sync entries to one of my Google calendars. Does anyone know of an app that can allow me to sync from my phone to a specific Google calendar inside of a Google account?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Themes and Apps] GuestK00466:
Any suggestions?

Here is a splash screen i made from a sketch i did a while ago. I really like how it turned out. If you have unrevoked forever, you can simply download and hboot install the attached PC36IMG attached. If not, you can extract the .img from the zip and use fastboot.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] whiteboyian:
can u please tell me how u did this ive searched and tryed evrything and any other boot screen i get wont work yours was the first
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thenewguy821:
+1

I would like to know how you did this as well. I want to make my own Splash that installs this way.

hello everyone, I've finally been to able to change my notifications screen to the way I want it minus ONE LITTLE detail.... I need to find the name of the .png (if there is one) included in the picture. Also I'm pretty sure the rest of the info is correct but if I am wrong please let me know!
[Android Themes] Adamsville MITM:
title_bar something, if I remember right... everything else is correct
[Android Themes] djcrajiee:
I see 4 different title_bar somethings...

title_bar_medium.9.png

title_bar_portrait.9.png

title_bar_shadow.9.png

title_bar_tall.9.png

i'm thinking its title bar medium but not entirely sure... what are the other .pngs functions?

btw thanks for the quick reply!

Hi again guys...

In Linux we have a SWAP partition for some time if RAM (Random Access Memory) will full OR for speed up applications by buffering in swap partition.

(Recommend Linux SWAP partition size: half of RAM)

so Android is Linux based and have kernel like Linux. Is it work to make a SWAP partition for SGS with swap file system?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
You don't want that...

Android doesn't wipe RAM immediately anyway, so apps which are open and shutdown can be restarted again quickly (unless the RAM has been reused).

Also, apps on Android are designed to be shut down whenever free RAM runs out (its in the development guidelines that all applications should expect to be shut down at any time). Since most Android phones use high-speed NAND memory, when properly configured, apps load quicker too

The problem with swap is that it can lead to thrashing and loss of battery life. It's good for computers (because generally, you would rather lose performance and ensure you don't lose work), but on Android, applications should be killable at any time, and should have mechanisms to protect their work anyway.

It's probably possible to create a swap partition/file if you wish (try to swapon), but I foresee some potential side-effects, especially if you don't want to spend a lot of time managing memory manually.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vogie:
i didn't think about battery life.

Thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MOUSEY:
I was actually exploring this option last night and stumbled that the kernel does allows swapon commands. I remembered trying it earlier on a stock rom but it was not available then.

Why I need the swap was because of the frequent shutdown of my launcher pro due to apps contenting for memory. The live wallpaper and heavy Widgets like pure messenger pro aren't helping much either, after much usage the device just slows down, lags and silently kills the background apps. The "minfree" settings were also tweaked but with much less desirable results was seen...

So I downloaded an app called "swapper2" from market and tested via 2 methods; Swap file and swap partition.

The performance of a swap file that sits in the NAND is not really that great. In fact it kinda lags me when memory is being swapped in and out of it. I think its the same problem with the i/o lag problems with any other rom

Then I tried a swap partition on my class 6 SD card. Although the lifespan of the card would be shortened and the battery life would be impacted, the performance is better compared to the earlier method.

In either method, the amont of apps that can be left opened at the foreground and background had increased and doesn't lag as more apps is being launched. Not bad for me but well, I guess it's all up to the user of the device at the end. Just my 2 cents...

I'll try the swap file method again over at the ext2 partition created by the lagfix and see how it goes next. Not sure if anyone interested though... :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MOUSEY:
It seems that using the swap partition doesn't have the lag compared to using the swap file method.

It may be due to the I/O of multiple storage (parallelism ?) is better than a single storage or writing into the raw partition is better in terms of performance than a swap file.

I'm done with my findings, the device still have 60mb free and never lags, I'm sold.

alrighty so here it is the ota is coming and i silly as i may be rooted like 3-4 days ago. i didnt take the time to s-off just got the custom recovery updated the radio to 2.05 and downloaded sky raider vanilla. hboot is .79.

now from my research that ive gather and correct me if im wrong but all i need to do is :

*s-off

*flash the stock recovery

after that i should be good for the ota correct?

so far i got the s-off done looking for a lil bit of instruction as to how to get the stock recovery flashed safely.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated i thank you all very much.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
I have attached the stock recovery that needs to be flashed from the HBOOT.

It is my understanding however, that you need to downgrade to the .77 HBOOT, 1.xx radio AND 2.1 system for the update to notify you, give you the option to download, and install successfully. However, I am a few drinks into my night.

If you choose to follow that path. I suggest you read this
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inessi:
awesome stuff really appreciate it man gonna give it a try now, fellow floridian lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
w00t!

If you get hung up anywhere, pm me and I'll give you a number to call me at in the morning/afternoon and I'll walk you through it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inessi:
your my hero bud, my freaking hero stock recovery got s-off i think thats all i need to recieve the ota and do it yea?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
thnx :-)

See, from this point, I'm not sure if you need the .77 HBOOT 1.xx Radio and 2.1build-1 on your phone (I'm really questioning it, as I beleive I read in a few places that you do, but I'm not sure at this point in the evening). I don't think the Skyraider rom will get a notification when the update is available. I'd say if you don't get a notification for the update when everyone else in the free world is, then you may have to.

As long as you have S-OFF, it doesn't matter either way, you have complete control for the rest of your phone's life. Whatever you do, don't turn it back on lol.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inessi:
hmmm well if it doesnt show up guess my next set of questions is how to get back to stock everything

The link I posted above with the "I suggest you read this" line is where you will need to go if it boils down to that.:)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inessi:
o haha some how i missed that lil section of text did you just add that recently?

but ok sounds good ill run through it in the morning probably
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inessi:
and holy crap the link you posted makes this all look so simple hah
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybones:
Well I have stock everything, except for my hboot is .79, im on stock 2.1 stock recovery just have .79 hboot not .77, i think i will still get the update though...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneto417x:
I too am awaiting the OTA update and was concerned. My phone is running 2.1 update 1 and is rooted. Will this prevent me from receiving the OTA update? If so what steps do I need to take to make sure I get the update then?:confused: Also should I put on unrevoked forever? If I do so will I need to do anything other than that to still receive the OTA update and keep root access?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
Other than the root, did you modify anything else to your phone?

If not, your still with the .77 HBOOT, 1.xx baseband, and 2.1update-1 system?

Add unrevoked forever to remove s-off, then flash the stock recovery back to your phone. Your goal here is to have S-Off
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybones:
in order to get the OTA (from my understanding) you need the stock recovery, do a little search I have all the faith in the world that you will find what you are looking for. you want to run unrevoked forever BEFORE you accept the OTA2.2, so this is your steps, root, run unrevoked forever getting S-OFF, find the file for the stock recovery, PB..IMG file, flash that in hboot, this will set u back to stock 2.1 update1, stock radio, stock recovery, but still have S-OFF to regain root, after the OTA comes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybones:
So if I have stock everything, and have hboot .79 will I still get the OTA I don't see why not...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneto417x:
Currently the only thing I have done was rooted and removed CityID and but have not changed the radio or anything else. I have installed Unrevoked forever now. So do I still need to flash stock recovery even though I haven't changed the boot files or radio files at all?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybones:
Yes from what I've read you HAVE to have the stock recovery. what is your HBOOT once u get stock recovery?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneto417x:
My HBOOT is 0.79.0000

Radio 1.00.03.04.06

Any input would be helpful as to whether I will get OTA or do I need to do something.:confused:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andybones:
once in hboot, go to recovery, if you have clockwork you wont get it i dont think, if you get a red triangle you have stock recovery and you are good to go.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdmerck:
Yes, install unrevoked forever. The fact that you are rooted will not affect the ability of your upgrade, it is the lack of the stock recovery that will halt you.

Unrevoked forever will allow you to flash ANY zip file you want to the phone (namely a zip that has su and Superuser.apk) and will allow you to regain root in the event that it is ever lost due to an OTA or user error.

S-OFF is a beautiful thing.

I would love to take my phone to Verizon right now with a manufactured problem, let him see the Superuser, official 2.2 system and then stock recovery. Could be priceless!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Running the PB....img file wiped my phone. Put back Clockwork and restored with Nandroid. Is there a way to just put in the bootloader with a complete wipe?

Never mind. I found an older post with the proper file in the ...img.zip. The post I followed linked to an img file that had more than the bootloader!

Now does anyone know if I can receive the OTA with stock apps removed? I removed City ID and Tweet and changed the boot animation. One post I read said this would be a problem. Just wondering if I should change it all back.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newtonthecat:
I got my Galaxy S a few days ago. It had a firmware on it which did not have the task manager on it so I knew it was old (My previous Galaxy S I had for a week which then broke and had to go back did have the task manager).

So I decided on JM5 - from the number it looks like the newest before going to 2.2 (Which I don't want to do yet). I get confused with the numbers. For each letter prefix JM, JG, JF there are different numbers. According to the list on samsung firmware all the numbers, say for JM or JG come out in the same month. Do the numbers at the end mean something different?

Anyway, so I flashed JM5 with Odin and the phone starts up in Russian, which is easy to change to English but I have a few Russian apps I think.

From what I can see here it's probably to do with the CSC file - the one in the download I got was CSC-I9000SERJM1.tar.md5

Everything else seems to run fine and I am happy with the performance. If I want an upd-to-date English (UK) stock ROM without the Russian apps etc. which should I choose?

Thanks to anyone who can advise.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sturmeh:
Put your simcard in.

All fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
OXAJM1 is the UK csc... OXXJM1 is the broader european one, which also contains Greek settings, if you care about that.

SER is the Russian one (I believe it stands for Samsung Electronics Russia), that's why you get all the Russian apps etc.

Btw, the latest (non-froyo) firmware is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=763369

[Droid X General] darnieglover2:
First of all, I'm looking for a way to make and receive calls over wifi. The reason is that I need to save on minutes, and also that I will be out of the country for a couple of weeks very soon.

I am trying to make sure I have a wifi connection so that I can receive calls from the US with VOIP and wifi.

Secondarily, I'm looking for a service that will provide me cheap calls and texting from my Droid X to the Philippines while I am in the states.

I've been trying to find information on this, but it's very confusing. No I don't have Gizmo5, so that's no help.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I have been tinkering with SipDroid and it appears to work pretty well. You will need some type of SIP termination to make calls.

There are a handleful of SIP clients in the marketplace, but you are going to have to get your hands dirty and learn about SIP to make this work.

Or just get a Skype account? Or Use Gizmo5 with a Sip client?
[Droid X General] darnieglover2:
Skype doesn't work on wifi, Gizmo5 no longer accepting new accounts, this is the dead end I've been at for a week, before making this thread.

I am trying to figure out SIP, but am admittedly discouraged right now.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Ahh. Sorry. I have my own asterisk (SIP) server. When I want to play with VoIP, I just create a new extension on that.

SipDroid evidently has some connection to pbxes.org and connects to that service pretty easily it looks like.

PBXes.orrg also has a basic free account to get you started. Looks like it allos 2000 minutes per month with a maximum call time of 60 minutes per call for free.

Might be worth giving it a shot.

You can also get service from a provider like vitelity or teliax pretty cheaply.
[Droid X General] 00negative:
You can make calls through gmail now. Not tried it but might be an option for you.
[Droid X General] jstanj:
i'm in the same boat. about to travel to india and would love to ditch the calling card. i've been using gmail voip since wed. and have been pretty impressed as far as internet calling goes. my plan is use that when i'm out of the country.

anyone know if having an ip address in india will wig it out? i know the gmail call option is only for us customers right now.
[Droid X General] darnieglover2:
I still only vaguely understand what PBXes.org does. None of this stuff is accessible.

Is there anyone who has a system that works, outside of the US, that allows you to receive wifi calls and does not involve gizmo5?

I don't mind learning something new here, but I don't have too much time, and I need it to be the right something.
[Droid X General] sipdrone:
I've played around with a lot of free Android SIP clients, and SIPDroid is definitely what you want. But in order to make calls to landlines in the US, you will need a SIP account that allows BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). That means you'll need to pay. Nobody will bridge SIP calls to real phones for free any more. BroadVoice is one choice.

As you see, none of this stuff is plug and play yet. You'll simply need to learn it. I recommend starting by getting a free SIP account at iptel.org, and set things up in SIPDroid to make some free Voip-Voip calls between devices, that way you'll learn.
[Droid X General] darnieglover2:
Okay, for now, I can skip the complex stuff...

All I need is a way to make and receive calls from normal land and mobile US phones over wifi alone, when there is no signal... even when out of the country.

I have a PBX account, a sipgate account, and sipdroid, truphone, fring, and google voice on my Droid X.

I'm only just starting to get an idea of what does what.

I'm not looking for free necessarily, but I also can't invest a ton in this... I just want to be reachable for the next three weeks.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Sipgate should work - along with sipdroid.

You need to learn how to put your sipgate login credentials into Sipdroid (Proxy, user name, password)

Once you successfully have connected SipDroid to your SipGate account, anytime someone calls your Sipgate number it will ring on sipdroid (assuming you have sipdroid running.

I can probably help you if you'd like, it can be a little confusing .. but I think if you dig into the proxy and register server settings you'll get this figured out.

One more thing. Make sure wherever you are going has a good connection back to sipgate... just having wifi doesn't mean anything. A good connection (ping times less than 100 ms and plenty of bandwidth) will be the key factors.
[Droid X General] darnieglover2:
Thanks, I'm going to try this as my last ditch effort before I'm gone tomorrow... Any way to make my number the google voice number, or would that force me back to using 3G only?
[Droid X General] maxomus:
Fyi, I used to have,well still do but don't use it much, my sipgate number forwarded to my google voice all setup through sipdroid,which is about the most consistent android sip client,which in turn allowed free calls (us atleast) over wifi & data. If you search xda for sipdroid or google for that matter you should find some good setup how to's.

Sent from my phone.
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Exactly. Have your G-Voice number call the Sipgate number.
[Droid X General] Maleko48:
The original how-to was in the G1 XDA development area I believe. SIPdroid and IPKall, along with Google Voice and Google Voice Callback should be all you need to get by. I have unlimited incoming and outgoing calls, as well as unlimited texting both ways. As far as out of country goes, I'm not sure what the deal is with that. But here are some links.

I actually had to use my G1 as a wifi only phone for over a year when I was broke and couldn't afford anything. It definitely was better than nothing, and without android I would have really been screwed. Hope this helps.
[Droid X General] maxomus:
It's nice to have that option, as long as you have descent wifi. I also noticed sipgate was more reliable then gizmo, for me atleast, but if you want to get serious about it, set it all up through pbx or your own server.

HELP!!!!!! My HD2 turns itself off automatically after about 15-30 minutes of running Android OS. I have HD2Froyo_V2.1.7z. Also installed HSPL3_PKG from XDA and Kumar's TMOUS C5 Premium V2.6. I solved my robot voice and no sound problem. Only thing left is getting it to actually stay on while running in Android. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrics83:
Hi I have a similar problem. It happens only when I have the phone in my pocket.

My theory is that I press the shutdown button when held in the pocket and thereby turns off the phone. The best thing would have been if the feature was removed when it is in the locked position ... Do you think we have the same problem?

I'm running Duttys rom (v8) and radio 2.10.50.28_2 (HSPL 1.66)

No clue....?????

I am very new to the whole "hacking my phone" scene, if you will... I was pleased with myself for actually getting it to boot and run for a decent amount of time. My phone will just cut off (when im running Android OS), when it's in my hand, when im playing a game, when im doing just about anything in Android. It works perfectly fine in Windows, no probs what-so-ever. I had an issue with connecting to T-Mobile's 3G network, but i think i resolved that. For the most part everything works great, only prob is that the phone just resets on its own. Still very confused as to why..... HELP!!!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrics83:
I'm no expert on this either. Your problem sounded exactly like mine, just had to ask if it could be so in your case also.

You know what they're asking for technical support? Is the power cable in? Hehe, sometimes it can be very simple things that are wrong. :P

One thing that struck me was that perhaps you should look over the radio version. There are a few threads on XDA about different radio versions work with android.

Consider what I wrote at the beginning, I'm no expert :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HelloKittyWhite:
Alright. do this and it will work.

1. format your card with your phone to fat32. you need to do this. (yes again)

2. HPSL3 your phone, it seems that once you do it you wont have to do it again but this are the exact steps I did before getting the hd2 android for more than 72 hrs using 99% of the phone. (remember it is always better to have stock android)

3. I am using Chucky ROM but is HORRIBLE ugly and nasty. ROM your phone to Chucky rom or Miri Rom.

4. get Matt C Froyo version of android.

Install it. reboot. tap on CLRAD and then HRET and it will work.

I have an auto loader now it seems they all work but some are nicer. oh by the way you will use your SD card as it was th phones memory with this build, meaning the Windows version of the HD2 is safe for when Windows 7 gets a release and you decide to send to hell android as I will.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HectiQ:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Patrics83:
I would really like to have a solution to this also. The problem is that you get an option to switch to airplane mode or turn off the phone when you long press endbutton. Even if it is locked. I want to see that when you are only in unlocked mode, the shutdown menu shows. I really hope someone fixes this.
