Was about 1/3 thru doing this manually when I decided to search this up. I know I am an odd bird but I love how colorful TW is and how it shows off the AMOLED screen. I like stock Android as well, but it is so bland looking.

I even like the sideways swiping app drawer - just hated that the apps didn't order themselves - small but significant oversight.

REALLY glad that I cam across this thread - almost cleared the home data (damn ADD) but decided to read whole way thru - glad I did. Might want to amend the OP to mention this app for faster reference. Thanks again all-knowing community.

That app sorter did the trick. THANKED.

Excellent. TouchWiz Application Zorter!

It should be in the default TouchWiz. I can't believe it's not.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] haloimplant:
I ended up bailing on the grid and using the list view (which is always alphabetical), it's long but I can whip through it quick enough the odd time I use the app drawer. Might try that sorter though and give grid another shot. Yeah pretty weak that they just let the grid become an unsorted mess.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sathkartha:
Yes,you can...

Go to market and download Appzorter lite which is free.It will help you arrange alphabetically in a jiffy.Will also help you fill gaps when you remove an app.

Best wishes.

Hey guys, unsure about what version of TouchWiz this applies to...

I checked the version from the App Management tab in the Settings, and it said 2.3.3?

Anyway, I was searching for a way to do this as well, and what I found just by fiddling is that if you go to (from Homescreen) Menu > Preferences > App Drawer > Sort Order, and choose "Alphabetical".

I was confused at first since it didn't actually do anything, but then I found that if you press the menu button, it gives an option "Save and restart launcher".

After I finally found this and pressed it, I checked my apps and it had worked!

Maybe it'll work for anyone else who finds this?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kingithy:
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean...

I'm using an SGS2 and on DarkyRom2?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] christian5916:
That your TouchWiz have to be one of those and if I'm correct it's from the Epic 4G Touch. Does yours look like this pic?????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kingithy:
Ahhh I see.

I'm not exactly sure, it did look similar though...

Maybe the TW on Darky 10.2 is ported from one of those?

I'm not sure, I don't know anything about cooking ROMs. 8P

http://www.areamobile.de/news/16376-android-2-2-fuer-galaxy-s-froyo-update-kommt-mitte-september

This german site apparantly has first-hand information that Samsung is planning to roll out the Froyo update mid-September, via Kies of course...

This makes me wonder how close to final the JPC update was...

Also, Kies ist just downloading an update (and taking forever to do it) which might also point at things approaching some kind of big release. I have no idea whether the GPS fixes and Lag fixes will be included in this mid-September release, but I'd guess it's pretty unlikely since the last info from Samsung was that they are "looking into it" implying that they don't really know yet. Maybe we'll at least see some improvement, test runs with Jm6, Jm7 and JPc indicate that GPS performance is being worked on at least.

We'll see what September will give us and then start hoping for October updates... ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Greg82uk:
I'm watching the new version of Kies trickle on to my PC as I type... I was thinking the same... is this a new Kies which won't brick Bell user's phones when they try to upgrade to Froyo!? It seems finding out what's new will take a while though... been downloading this update for about an hour already... and still have 37meg to go! :oS
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Evans_Prophet:
I suppose this is in line with the same line of announcements that were stating that a Korean Froyo would be available by end of August...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CommanderROR:
Mine just finished. So far all it's telling me is that I can't update from JPC...well...that#s not exactly new, but it also isn't mid-September yet...^^
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dehem333:
I"m kinda noob @ android stuff , atm I got the Galaxy S rooted with lag fix is kies the only possibility to get the new offical froyo soon? so yes , is there anyway a good tutorial for how to use kies..

Thanks :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sofiaeriksson:
What is the version of Kies after it is updated?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I definitely think delaying past mid-September is a bad move. Many other high end phones using the official 2.2 builds for about a month or more.

Then again, the announcement on Korean Froyo turned out to give false hope to a guy like me. Someone was saying how Optus would be getting this because he heard from an Optus rep that they were. I stated at that time there are 3 days left in August and Korea hadn't been upgraded now we are entering the weekend and will probably end the weekend waking up on the 6th of Sept without Froyo, so if everything else gets delayed the same amount of time...it doesn't mean great things for the rollout.

That said, I do think the hardware is similar enough that I was originally surprised to hear they might get Froyo as many as two weeks before the next countr(y/ies). Maybe they will condense the rollout timeframe.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] opica:
It would be nice if a changelog for Kies versions would be available.

Version 1.5.1.10074.45 is probably not official for SGS since it's not available under SGS's support pages, I'm wondering what have they fixed or changed.

But it probably couldn't get worse since Kies is a very shi*ty piece of sw...

Thank you very much

Ich habe ein MDA/HTC Touch Diamond möchte ein gutes uns Stabiles WM 6.5 in DEUTSCH installieren. Die meisten ROM´s sind hier aber leider nur in Englisch. Gibt es ein Tool damit nicht nur die Benutzeroberfläche in Deutsch ist sondern alles ? Bitte um eure Hilfe !

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Nirak:
No, there's no such tool, language is ROM specific.

You've already found out that you can change the language of manila.

Another possibility is to build your own german ROM, but the kitchen has to have the german language files in them.

Search this forum for the multilanguage kitchen (WM 6.1 and WM 6.5) from Yozgatg, it supports german.

That's how i build my own dutch WM 6.5. rom.

This is because of the google contacts sync. Apparently the google server saves the contact pictures in very low resolution and when your phone syncs the photos back you get the ugly version. Just stop the sync and put high res version of your photos and it should work
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r2tincan:
I've been a Windows Mobile user for 5 or so years and I just today took my first plunge into Android with the Evo4G. I have always have a customer firmware flashed.

Now, I'm running stock Froyo and I need help! Please help me figure a few key things out:

How do I switch tasks???!!!?!

What is the best (power user / this community) way to kill certain apps? I see a few different app killers which one is the best?

I am used to a completely customizable home screen and I'm finding the Sense UI used on the Evo limiting. How do I change to the smaller version of the HTC clocks and etc? I haven't seen any of the custom ROMs out for the Evo utilize different homescreen elements.

Calender is a big pain! I am used to listing 1, 2, 3, or 4 appointments on my home screen with the date and time they are happening. I see an HTC widget for calender but it only lists my appointments. It doesn't which day they are occurring and I don't even think they are in order!! How do I change this? This is critical for me. I use my phone for work.

GMail. On my WM phone I used google's exchange servers to sync mail, appointments, and etc. On android is this all done in the background? Is my Gmail app preferable or the built in android mail app? OR the HTC mail app?

Can I set a different sound for email / sms / mms ?

Google voice. Is there a way to completely emulate google voice on my phone? For instance, every time I send a text message and receive a text message, can I set it to go through google voice without using the app?

I'm basically struggling with the best ways of doing simple things. Calender, task switching, and CLOSING APPS AFTER IM DONE USING THEM being the things I have the most problems with.

I tried searching for this stuff but it seems like everyone just assumes everyone else knows how to do this stuff.

Please help! Thanks.

How do I switch tasks???!!!?! Hold down the "home" key for a few seconds. your open programs will pop-up

What is the best (power user / this community) way to kill certain apps? I see a few different app killers which one is the best? Advanced task killer. i think it's free.

I am used to a completely customizable home screen and I'm finding the Sense UI used on the Evo limiting. How do I change to the smaller version of the HTC clocks and etc? I haven't seen any of the custom ROMs out for the Evo utilize different homescreen elements. Touch and hold on the wdiget you want to change. drag it to the trash bin at the bottom. then hold the empty space and choose a new widget.

Calender is a big pain! I am used to listing 1, 2, 3, or 4 appointments on my home screen with the date and time they are happening. I see an HTC widget for calender but it only lists my appointments. It doesn't which day they are occurring and I don't even think they are in order!! How do I change this? This is critical for me. I use my phone for work. Go get pure calendar widget. it costs a couple bucks but absolutely worth it. this will solve your issue.

GMail. On my WM phone I used google's exchange servers to sync mail, appointments, and etc. On android is this all done in the background? Is my Gmail app preferable or the built in android mail app? OR the HTC mail app?the built-in gmail function under settings>accounts>gmail is flawless. use that.

Can I set a different sound for email / sms / mms ? You should be able to. go into messaging, hit menu>settings and scroll down for notification sounds. do this for email as well. then go to main phone settings>sounds>notification and change the default notification sound for everything else.

Google voice. Is there a way to completely emulate google voice on my phone? For instance, every time I send a text message and receive a text message, can I set it to go through google voice without using the app? sorry, i've got no clue on this one.

EDIT: P.S. contrary to the minority of a-holes here, we really ARE here to help. just ask. i'll help you with whatever i can.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
for google voice. im not sure it works for sms/mms but once its installed (yes you have to install it) add a shortcut to your desktop for it. long press, add shortcut->google voice.

that will toggle the use of it for calls. if you do it report back for sms/mms

:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Pressing and holding the home button will only give you the last 6 apps you opened (regardless if they're still open or closed). You're looking for something like the switcher widget, which will give you a tray of apps that are still open, so you can return to them at any time. Switcher widget + quickdesk is a great combo.

As far as killing apps go, keep in mind that Android manages resourses differently than wm, and will shut down the app when those resources are actually needed. While just sitting in the background, the amount of battery and CPU they use is negligible.

+1 for pure calendar

For gmail, use the gmail app. It's much more functional than the other options and will still push email, calendar, and contacts in the background. Use the other email options for other POP3 or exchange accounts.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuxsta:
hi all,

thought i would ask here as my questions in the rom specific forum are getting swamped by every asking for the dev to install specific programmes or people asking wht OJ death is..

im just trying to narrow down if my SD card is faulty, the rom is causing the issues or i have or am doing things wrong.

on random occasions i have lost apps, photos and other info from my SD card.

the first time it happed i did a nandriod backup prior to a rom update.

right after the nandriod back up my phone booted up and every photo i had taken in the last 2 days were gone.

thankfully using Recuva data recovery program in windoiws i was able to find and restore the photos.

i then updated my rom the Open desire rom, the one that enabled the OTA menu system. as far as i know there were no other things changed in the initial update.

after rebooting all my sd card data was wiped.

BUT.... some of the apps on the sd card were still there and some were gone, as well as apps on the phone, some were gone some was not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TractorMatty:
You're not alone... I too have a similar issue, with an un-branded, un-rooted Desire. The first think I noticed was a duplicate "Backgrounds" folder appearing in the 3D Gallery - which in itself is odd, because the standard Gallery app only shows it once.

Weirdly in one version of the folder I have a few less images than the other, but they're otherwise all duplicates and can only be found in one visible "Backgrounds" directory on my SD card. It's not just the Gallery app aither - some others (like Wall Switch) also see two "Backgrounds" folders.

Then I noticed a number of images had mysteriously disappeared from another folder - in both Gallery apps. The only app that's crashed is Wall Switch - which is probably related, as it's looking for images in that "Backgrounds" folder. It works fine most of the time though.

If any images have gone missing, I should be able to get them back as I recently upgraded to a 32GB card and copied all my files across before doing so. However, I'm more concerned that there's a problem with the new card. (Which, for the record, was not a cheap one from eBay.)

As such, I'll be spending some time this weekend testing the new card to see if I can identify any issues... but I too have a couple of questions in that regard:

i) Is there any benefit in formatting the card in the phone before use? (It came pre-formatted so I first checked it for errors in Windows first, then just started using it.) I realise before Froyo the phone could not format such big cards, but I think that may have been resolved now.

ii) What's the best way to verify the integrity of the card? (e.g. Will error checking via Windows - XP in my case - suffice?)

EDIT: I took the card out and copied the files (minus my MP3 library) back to the 4GB card that came with the phone. When I ran with this card the duplicate directory disappeared. CHKDSK found no problems on the 32GB card, but I reformatted it in the phone anyway and then copied everything back to it and all is now fine. I'm assuming the phone did a "Quick Format" rather than a full one, as it only took a few seconds. I'm not too worried about the missing image files as these may have been inadvertently deleted anyway. Fingers crossed the problem is behind me now, but I'll keep an eye on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
I am having similar issues, it's almost like the SD card is not fully loaded, and tried to load but can't. Things are missing, and then they are there. I am using a new 16GB over the original 8GB.

I am rooted though, am I able to do a format of the SD card?

Also when I choose to make it work as disc drive, nothing happens, does not show up on system.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuxsta:
i had the same issue when i first rooted my phone i was able to put the card in an old HTC and it showed up as a drive in USB mode and i was able to run a file recovery tool to extract the data

then re format and copy the data back to it..

but the current issue is just random and strange...

stuff just seems to disapear as far as the phone is concerned ...

as i have already mentioned i had stuff vanish after running nandroid back up..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmancell:
So for me it seems it happens shortly after bootup. Yes I give it enough time.

But once I open the all programs area, I see it load all of the icons. Maybe some issue with it not loading untill I open that area up.

Also, most of issues seems to be coming from the App Organizer Application, it's updated often so hopefully my issues will go away.

*As I play around with things it seems almost all my issues are related to the program. Even the issue with it not showing up on my computer when connected through USB. It does show up, just takes awhile, and once it does my Apps Organizer icons flash. So related.

Hey out there,

There are two lines that now show KOREAN:

2. <Country>Korea</Country>

Before I did the following from the Guide JM7 by Richthofen:

So normaly my SalesCode should be DBT, so do i have to change it? But i dont know what should be in Country.. i havent written it down. So can someone with a german (o2) phone, with no JPC tell me what shlod be in line 5 <Country>Korea</Country>?

Thx in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] andrej.marinic:
i *think* that simply flashing with a german CSC should remedy that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Asdain:
dont edit the nv_data.bin! if you still have your old .bak files (from before the JPC flash) then just delete the normal.bin and .md5 and the phone will create new files out of the backups. in any case: save the backups to some place safe in case you need them!

just flashing the CSC will not help, because the efs data is not touched by any firmeware (besides JPC)

you can also try flashing back to an older firmware like JM 1 with Odin 1.3 and EFS clear, some people from Android-Hilfe.de reported this repaired the efs for them.

In any case, always back up the efs files!

thanks, this made me restore my product code!

only a couple of clarifications..

- it's *#272*HHMM#

- this makes a factory reset to the phone, deleting all apps and setting, be sure to backup all that stuff before!
