Sorry for the two identical threads, but I think this forum is better. I made the same thread at the Milestone forum.

________

I seriously need some help. Since one month I'm trying to figure out how to use mms with my milestone in Japan with Softbank. I have tried almost every apn setting you can find on the web, so I have no clue anymore what could be wrong.

- Rooted Vodafone Motorola Milestone, no ROM

- Android 2.1

- Softbank Prepaid Silver Card USIM

- ...bought with a Panasonic 822P one year ago

Problem:

While I can send messages (sms or mms, don't know), I can't receive MMS. It tells me that there is a new mms and I can see the subject, but trying to download it gives me only "Cant download the message".

Especially I tried ....

android.modaco[point]com/content/absolute-beginners/301380/apn-for-internet-mms-apk-for-softbank-users-in-japan/

(sorry, can't post real links yet)

...and other various hacked Messaging Apps. Handcent SMS not working as well.

For any hints how to get things worked I would be really thankful.

Hi guys, any idea how to change the background wallpaper in the menu screen? It has always been a black background after pressing the menu button. Quite ugly looking. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Alexzander:
Yes i would like to know as well how it can be done. I had once a HTC Touch Diamond 2 and the winmo had an optionto change thw wallpaper in both home screen and start/menu programs.

Would've been cool to know how to do this...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] 00ss0:
i want to know the same
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] tragusman:
You mean when you press the apps icon and it takes you your installed apps? that background? or your dock background? Dock backgrounds easy so id guess the other may also be, backup your touchwiz30launcher.apk throw it on pc use winrar to check it out res/ drawable-hdpi folder. There should be a .png in there to change it i'll check tonight if time permits..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ivipopi:
Did it worked?

I have Louncher Pro, do I need to change it to touchwiz louncher?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mikeinessex:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Vintiem:
I want to know how to change the background of the menu's (and I don't mean the background of the app drawler as mentioned in the post above. i know how to make this one transparant)I mean al the different menu backgrounds. Now they are all black.

Has anyone figured out if tv-out is disabled by software or just not possible? and if it is a software lock out, has anyone figured out how to re-enable this feature?

thank you in advance guys
[Epic 4G General] namyboyz44:
I too would love to know if this would be possible! thanks!
[Epic 4G General] epic4gman:
The same cord.for the evo works on the epic also can use the headphone jack
[Epic 4G General] WisdomWolf:
I assume you are joking since the Evo uses microHDMI for TV out. That's a port that does not exist on the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] epic4gman:
Bro, go to cellup.com look up hdmi cables samsung epic n guess what you will find..... don't speak before you know
[Epic 4G General] rufflez2010:
Um, yeah, that would be a microUSB to hdmi and DOESN'T currently work on the Epic. The Evo's cable is microHDMI to HDMI. Please read before posting things you clearly don't know about. The feature of video out was disabled by Sprint.
[Epic 4G General] epic4gman:
That bites I was told by the guy I bought my epic.that that cord would work good thing I hhavnt bought it yet
[Epic 4G General] PlankLongBeard:
Now that we're on the tv out issues... I wanted know, the allshare application does not find my tv. Now, I have a Sony XBR9so this cannot be my tv, I'm already equipped for hulu plus! Aside from the not finding, I am pretty impressed still how the tv finds the device and can play songs and picture from it, just not videos? Hmm... I wonder what this all may be about. I don't mind, as I could simply place it on the usb stick and plug it to the tv, but, I actually wanted to do it off the device, anyone else have this same issue?

If that "guy" was a Sales Rep., they'd tell you anything to close a sale. A lot like car sale's men. :p

This guy claims TV-OUT on Epic's hardware is disabled. Dunno how reliable of a source he is, but I guess we'll be closer to knowing for sure once we get froyo 2.2 on our Epics.

[Epic 4G General] kennethlongshaw:
Okay, if the Verizon Fascinate has Tv-out his argument will be invalid. I guess we'll just have to wait for that or froyo to learn more unless someone else has anything to offer.

I've also heard that the epic has a different 3.5mm controller, so that may be one clue
[Epic 4G General] DTgreat:
What video format is on the phone? Your TV might not have the right codec.
[Epic 4G General] autoprime:
i know my new sharp aquos quattron or whatever it is has a similar issue. i can play files via usb. i can send the tv pics/music.. but no video. ive decided to just have it link up with my ps3 instead as it can handle video streaming.
[Epic 4G General] b15love:
Verizon's Fascinate does not currently support TV out either.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
Just for kicks.. has anyone tried hooking it up and see if the option appears?? i dont have a cable to test with
[Epic 4G General] mormegil83:
I got one on ebay and tried so without another compatible device, I'm not sure if I just got a bad cable or not. I even tried using white and red as the video just in case cable was funky, but didn't work. I swear I read somewhere that the option would appear after plugged in, but no tv out option appeared in sound/ display settings.

Edit: read in a bunch of different places today that an update killed TV-out... People had the option and then it was gone after update. This gives me hope that some of the pros here can give it back :)
[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
There is a cable that is made by cygnet, that has the epic usb to hdmi, works with epic. Retails for $24.99, you can find them at Fry's Electronics.

Have you tried it yourself to see if it works?

[Epic 4G General] shep211:
I have tried working cables from my captivate and the epic tv out did not work. I looked in the 3.5 mm jack and the design looks different. I think it has different hardware but I am not 100% sure.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Been looking a ADW over @ modaco!

Now we've got 2.1, anyone here tried Launcherpro?
[Streak 5 General] miker71:
I've tried both.

Launcher Pro is very slick however you are stuck with 4 x 4 icons as far as I can tell.

ADW you can put more icons on the screen and can also lock it into portrait by using the persistence option, so that's what I use now (even though I'd previously paid for Launcher Pro on my last phone, d'oh).
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Been messing with ADW over the last hour, I've got so much more screen space, i'm not sure what to do with it all :)

Also sorted my fancy widget, which 2.1 really screwed up.
[Streak 5 General] Techvir:
The very reason i have adw
[Streak 5 General] funaki:
Can you guys export your adw settings regards to icons nd widgets? I've been trying but cant seem to get it right. Looks aweful.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
I've tried ADW after reading this and it looks like it has real potential but I have a daft question. How do you add icons to the desktop? I've tried dragging them from the drawer as per the stock launcher but they just disappear and I've tried creating shortcuts but that just seems to launch the app.
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
Toute, if holding your finger on the screen and choosing shortcut -then application-then choose app- launches the app then some thing is wrong and I recommend reinstalling adw

It should work in the same way as the standard launcher, except dragging from the app menu-which has never worked for me
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
See, I told you it was a daft question, many thanks Fazziebear :)
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
When in ADW in landscape look to the right side of screen you should see a vertical bar with two shortcut icons and what looks like a grid.

Tap the grid this will launch the ADW app drawer (black backround etc) scroll to the app you want then just tap it.

This is an awesome bit of kit, it's like have two phones, trying to set it up so i've got the Dell launcher for work and ADW for play. Sought of 'SPAS-12' with pump or auto.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Thanks Checkbox, that's pretty much the same as the drop down drawer, neither is too convenient when you have loads of apps. Besides, I've got 5 screens to play with, it would be criminal not to fill them all up with my most used apps. I can separate them by type this way too, general/work/games/photography/technical etc. :)
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
If you want the look of ADW in 'Streak Launcher' try Multicon Widget http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.h9kdroid.multicon

Awesome :)
[Streak 5 General] asher73:
Running launcher pro and its awesome. I thought it was possible to change the location of the of the dock to one of the four sides of the screen (top, bottm, left, and right). Has this feature been removed or am I missing something?

thanks cheers.
[Streak 5 General] 00roberto00:
launcher pro or go launcher if u want resizeable widgets

launcher pro if u want 6 x 8 icons

go launch if u want 30 desktops
[Streak 5 General] ameiurus:
Not so awesome under Stage UI. The icons are not spaced correctly. The icons show up in groups of four and don't look like it flows like the Multicon homepage shows. Also there's wasted space between Fancy Widget and the Multicon icons.
[Streak 5 General] flub:
My favourite is Sweeter home is still in beta but it has loads of themes and totally transforms the look of the streak

check out www.sweeterhome.com

I have nothing to do with it, just a happy user
[Streak 5 General] Trust_no1:
LauncherPro

LauncherPro Plus now better than ADW now I think

I can use 5x4 icons on my streak, post message to twitter and facebook with integrate social widget

Try it ! Cool ..
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
I tried this and love the themes. This could be the best launcher when official version comes out. I went back to launcher pro because ibhad to many force closes.
[Streak 5 General] ryan562:
X2. ADW doesnt have a 3d app drawer either.
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
What theme are you using?
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Install them both :) Doesn't use any extra battery.

Something i tried and looks great IMO

Instal ADW with Gingerbread theme (the backround looks fantastic on Streak)

Instal Launcherpro and use that, you then have Launcherpro with a backround that i can't find or replicate properly, looks awesome. :)
[Streak 5 General] flub:
I am using SmallCaps with an aquarium live wallpaper
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
I have been using launcherpro plus forever. I like the added swipe functions of the dock.

Once I get my streak I will see what doesn't look right and talk to fred the dev to see if he can accomidate.

Please list any suggestions
[Streak 5 General] subvecto:
Launcherpro plus!
[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Newest ADW Launcher EX. It blows Launcher Pro out of the water. Its worth every penny to. Give it a shot!
[Streak 5 General] DMax99:
I agree, so much better with the new extra customization options!
[Streak 5 General] borijess:
What I dont like about the adw.launcher is the dock. I would like a dock that expdands the entire bottom of the screen and scrolls.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
ADW Launcher EX looks freakin awesome, when i get my unlock code and upgrade to 2.2, will definately ride that puppy.
[Streak 5 General] mellojoe:
I was using ADW but I seemed to get more Force Closes with it. I had originally tried Launcher Pro but didn't like it. Now I realize it was just my infamiliarity with it. I've gone back to Launcher Pro, and actually learned how to customize it.

I liked ADW for having resizable widgets in the free version. LP requires a purchase, but it also offers more options with the dock (swipe options). I have yet to purchase the Plus/Ex version of either, but I'm sure I will. I just haven't decided which.

For now, Launcher Pro seems the most stable and least likely to cause Force Close issues.

[Streak 5 General] Terrigno:
Theres a difference between ADW Launcher and ADW Launcher EX. EX is new. Huge improvement.
[Streak 5 General] crashDebug:
Some users report increased battery drain with adw ex. I'm using lp anyway, i love the sense like widgets, but i yet have to sort some wasted space problems.

[Streak 5 General] sn707:
I havnt had any extra battery drain thus far. I deleted Stage and Launcher Pro Plus, really liking ADW Ex
[Streak 5 General] gasolara2002:
The ADW EX looks really nice. I say you cant go wrong with launcher pro plus or ADW EX.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Thought launcherpro was good til i tried adw ex, what a great app, one of the apps they make android stand out above iphone, you could easilly spend a whole day messing with it and not repeat yourself once:rolleyes:

The 4g app draw on laucherpro looks better on adw, change icon sizes (although i left alone) installed gingerbread theme and added own icons.
[Streak 5 General] checkbox111:
Launcher Pro has been updated and includes some transition effects similar to those found on ADW EX.

In fact three of the transitions and so indentical that launcher Pro is now called 'Laucher Pro EX' :rolleyes:
[Streak 5 General] Fazziebear:
I'm using zeam and loving it. Fast and simple and a good dock.
[Streak 5 General] atlantis1:
Currently using ADW Launcher EX. Loving how its running on my streak. The fact on landscape mode I have out set up by 6x7 really lets me use the space on my streak. +1 for EX
[Streak 5 General] yasir_jan87:
+1 for lanucher pro here I even went ahead and paid the extra for the launcher pro plus amazing launcher very responsive and customisable.

[Streak 5 General] pceasar:
As a Launcher pro fan I find myself using GO Launcher quite a bit its weird how they are so similar to LP though i like the application drawer for GO launcher. I'm still debating since I did pay for LP but for now I'm using GO.
[Streak 5 General] That1dude:
I've been likn ADW without the Ex. The Ex freaks out on me too much. Can't use any other skin on it though because I notice the moment I try anything except the default ADW skin, it starts to lag. Could be because I'm stuck on donut until my unlocked Streak comes in.

Launcher pro plus is sick I have not tried adw ex just the regular adw any how with the update to lpp its really customizable like the icons on the drawer you can put any picture there so I went and go some icons off google for free looks so custom and the new slid effects make this thing sick too I also like the amount of rows and columns for icons you can have big or lil ones...just my 2 cents:D

I actually used launcher pro plus for the Widgets like the contacts and the Facebook Widgets are unreal.

Hi All,

I have a Dell Streak ( UK ) Sim Free running on OS2.1.1. I purchased the Launcher Pro Plus and installed it on my Dell. I noticed that it made my existing home Screen resolution very blurry and the images were not sharp as the stock Home Screen. Seeing this happen i was quite disappointed. I did not experiment with it . I could not understand why the resolution changed from super sharp on the stock home screen to blurry screen even though the picture was the same. I then uninstalled it and did a restore and the home screen picture is sharp and clear now. I have been afraid to install it again even though i liked some of the features that made it look like an Iphone Screen. Did i do something wrong or are there settings to fine tune the home screen resolution or it is not compatible with OS2.1.1.? Would appreciate some advise and i might try it again.

Cheers

Herojam

I apologize in advance a hundred times if this has already been asked. I searched the forum as well as the wiki. Is there a way to remove Internet Explorer from the factory ROM? It's obviously not as easy as add/remove programs. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

nope. things that come in the rom ("cooked" in) are not able to be uninstalled. would have to flash a rom that does not have it in it.

I order two myself. figured I would keep a spare on hand and 5 bucks you cant complain. Usually around 15 bucks a piece. These look like they are the same material as the invisishield kind.
[Vibrant Accessories] bananamandave:
Not the same as invisibleshield. Just got mine in the other day for my iPhone4 and you get what you pay for. It's like any other screen protector you get but it's only 3 bucks you loss. Mehh
[Vibrant Accessories] raduque:
I personally like it. The feel is nice, it doesn't interfere with the quality of the SAMOLED screen, and it helps level out the front of the phone.

My only problem is I derped up the install and got something undernearth the front in two places.

I did have the issue that they weren't cut all the way through... making a little starter cut with my xacto blade and peeling the outer edges away completely helped. The inner cut-outs (speaker, camera and earpiece) all came out easily. Used some lightly soapy water on my fingers and on the adhesive side and it went right on, slid it into place.
[Vibrant Accessories] sublimnl:
Got mine in the mail today. Worst screen protector I have ever purchased. They were not cut well from the rest of the plastic sheet and were a pain to take off and unlike the person above the little pieces (camera, speaker) were a pain in the ass to cut out. I also did not like the feel at all (very rubbery, not smooth at all), and visually they were a complete catastrophe.

I cant remember what I got for my Moto Droid a few months back, but I'm going to have to look it up because THAT was a fantastic SP and actually felt better than the bare glass.

Anyway, I'm glad it was only 5 bucks cause they went straight to the garbage after 5 mins on my phone. Total garbage.
[Vibrant Accessories] Chief Geek:
Not sounding good, hopefully I get a couple that wernt made by the guy that rode the short bus to work that day. We'll see, still waiting.
[Vibrant Accessories] MonkySlap:
I dont plan on using the screen protector. I have realook one on now. More of just for the body part. As for the look, you are suppose to wait about 3-5 days and it usually clears up.
[Vibrant Accessories] JimmyKimChi:
yea, i just ordered one a while back and just got it! I was soo not gonna replace my invisible shield with this **** .. I put it on my friends Samsung Moment! We put that bad boy to the test .

All in all . the Protector protected to phone from my friends Alabama Slammer .
[Vibrant Accessories] raduque:
Hey JimmyKimChee, could ya possibly post a bigger picture? That last one showing the phone hacked up is too small!

Seriously dude, it's a wet-install screen protector. You have to leave those on the phone for more than 5 minutes for it to dry and seal. It takes 3-5 hours to dry and seal completely, believe me, it would've looked really nice if you did.

The back, on the other hand....

But I think that's more my fault because I got impatient, like you, ripped it off and threw it away. Then I got it out of the trash, cleaned it off, and re-applied it. Looks not so great on the back, but it works perfectly.
