Is there a way to unsync the FB events that get put into my google calender? I would like to keep my contacts synced but I hate the calender sync. So far I have not found a separate option.

Or does anyone have the older HTC sync for Facbook that did not include the calender events?
[Android Apps and Games] thunderskain:
i found it irritating too with all the birthdays on my calendar. And in your phonebook there's all your facebook phonebook in it..

alternatively, go to HTC calendar app, menu, calendars, untick Facebook

Hello all,

I am hoping somebody can assist me.

I have my Programs Tab setup into logical "folders" (well, logical for me anyways).

I have done this via the Registry.

Here is what I have:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0]
"DispName"="VZW Apps"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\VZWIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\VZW Apps\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\1]
"DispName"="Office Mobile"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\OfficeIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Office Mobile 2010\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\2]
"DispName"="Games"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\GamesIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Games\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3]
"DispName"="GPS"

"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\GPS\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\4]
"DispName"="Tools & Utilities"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\Tools\\"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\ToolsIcon.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\5]
"DispName"="Outlook"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\OutlookIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\Outlook\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\6]
"DispName"="Chat & Social Networking"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\SocialIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\Social\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\7]
"DispName"="Music - Photos - Video"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\MediaIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\Media\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\8]
"DispName"="Applications"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\AppsIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\Apps\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\9]
"DispName"="Internet Broswers"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\BrowsersIcon.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\Browsers\\"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\10]
"DispName"="Time Wasters"
"IconPath"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Icons\\Time.png"
"Path"="\\Storage Card\\ProgramLauncher\\Shortcuts\\TimeWasters\\"

NOTE: I don't know why they show up above as \\. They are only single slash marks in the actual registry.

Of course I have the corresponding files where they should be.

The problem I am having is that when I select one of the icons (they show up with the correct image by the way) I get the "Select A Program" screen as if I chosen to add a program to the quicklink menu.

EDIT: I have tried moving the paths to device memory and updated the registry to reflect this. There was no change in behavior.

Any thoughts would be helpful.

Thanks !!!

i was browsing the web and i found an interesting video showing the htc magic running ios 4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IY-uRRCARJw

i was thinking that our sgs has almost the same spec as the iphone 4(processor, amount of rom and ram), it would be possible to dump ios 4 on it ! that would definetly decrease the sell of iphone 4 ! with the 4 inch SA screen ios apps and games would rock on the sgs !

i also believe that the sgs has the most powerful HW , here is the GL benchmark results showing sgs on top of other phones followed by the iphone

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cba1986:
The biggest problem would be the resolution. The iphone 4 resolution is 960x640 and our SGS is only 800x400.

So porting iOS 4 to a SGS, sounds very dificult.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AXIS of Reality:
Android has been up and running on older iPhones for a few months now via dualbooting (iBoot).

Got to remember however that Android is designed to run on a variety of hardware configurations.

iOS is NOT designed to run on anything without specific Apple-selected hardware. Drivers would need to be created for each component of each phone, the resolution would need to be the same, it would need to be able to sync with iTunes to use, etc. Basically, far too much bother.

I would be more interested in the possibilities of WP7 or Meego (or maybe WebOS in the future?...) ports since they're available for lots of hardware configurations. Particularly WP7, since the Galaxy S seems to share the exact hardware requirements for the first generation of WP7 devices launching next month, including those by Samsung.

I bought the SGS after choosing that I wanted an android phone. I didn't pick this phone and then settled for the os that came with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
Even if legit, why would you want to do that? If you want iOS get an iPhone, it would run better on the hardware it was designed for anyway.

As far as I remember that video is fake, and it was done so that an iPhone's screen was captured with some program and then played with the HTC. The guy admittedly had to record the video a couple of times by the time he managed to synchronise his finger movement to the video playing on the HTC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikenley:
I agree with the most committed Android fans here, why the hell would we want to have iOS??? Like most we made the decision for freedom and choice and to be able to create and share our own content, not just consume.

However, I am curious to know if there is a way to get IPA's to work on Android. The market is a little short on well polished games so it would be great to see if there is a way to get them onto the current generation of Android devices.

"why not"

cause "you can"

a hack is a hack, it's fun, doesn't mean you should replace android by ios for daily use. still, i'd try it for fun.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy-bish:
I was introduced to Android by installing Froyo on my iPhone 3G and dual booting it with iOS4. It made me want to sell the iPhone and get a "real" Android phone since the battery only lasted 90 mins in Froyo and it was seriously underpowered (but still faster than my mate's Magic).

Like hell, am I ever going back to iOS! To any of you who haven't previously owned an iPhone, trust me when I say that you aren't missing out on anything. Tweaking or customising anything in iOS on supported hardware was a pain in the back-side. Porting it to another device would be an absolute nightmare and really not worth the hassle!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
"Why would I want to" and the like really don't add value to the conversation, dudes...

I was tempted to jump into the "can I run WM7 on the SGS" thread with the same childish smart ass comment, but took the mature path and just didn't bother reading the thread at all. Despite not being able to fathom why someone would want to, it's a legitimate technical question to ask if someone is interested in doing it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aditya_t90:
Why the hate????

I've always known the guys at xda doing awesome things to their mobile phones, just because they can.

It's this "because we can" and "can we do this" attitude that has built xda from nothing to something very brilliant.

Had we not had such enterprising members, we'd never become the no. 1 andorid hackers in the world.

There is not a single forum that is as good and as xda.

Anyways I am very interested in this project. Dual booting the iOs is still awesome.

It's not a bad idea at all although it will take years before anything ever boots.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arifmunshi:
reasons for IOS on galaxy s:-

kick in the teeth for apple (not just steve jobs),

much cheaper hardware for similar spec's, (my contract was litterally half the price with a galaxy s than the iphone 4)

Super AMOLED screen,

IOS apps have high levels of quality control before release,

veriety is the spice of life ie having a choice of OS's is great

and the huge number of apps and games available on the app store would make any android fan weep in dismay.

So even though android overall is the better OS here are just a few reasons why i'd like to see IOS on the galaxy s.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thread Astaire:
Surely thats a contradiction in terms??

Anyway buy an iphone 4 if you want ios and the locked down piece of crap it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Exactly!

it defeats the whole purpose of NOT going for an iphone

if iphone hardware were running Android OS, i would have purchased an Iphone with Android inside.... (why does the intel commercial rings in my head?) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glen.george:
I agree. Who would want iOS anyway. I just I could get all of the iOS appstore's apps and games. I like having the official apps for events like the US open for instance on my itouch. I miss those an android
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spitfire128:
It would be cool alright. I don't get why people hate iOS/the iPhone so much. Yeah, I too prefer Android. The iPhone feels like it misses a home screen to me, and I'd have nightmares about Steve Jobs controlling me to the point of how I hold my phone. But come on, different strokes for different folks, right? It's a smooth OS with countless apps. Not everyone wants the huge amount of customization, and there's a point to be made for searching an app catalog for "Draw" without finding mostly strip poker apps (fix it, google).

But, obviously, it's just not gonna happen. Even if some really knowledgeable people with lots and lots of free time worked on it every day and somehow after a long time got it working.. Don't you think Apple would do something about it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mycorrhiza:
Apart from those who can't afford an iPhone I think most people who want the interface already got it.

And vice versa. So I don't see the point of this apart from the obvious statement that it is possible.

A WinPhone7 port... I would be more inclined to try out, even if only for the sake of the testing itself.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superjjskate:
Hi this is my first post on this forum, I have read alot and i tried to run android on my HD2 but i found out that my radio was too low for the requirements.

My question is if I update my firmware from HTC itself... will it update my radio aswell? I don't know what rom to download from HTC as there are so many.

Here are some few details of my HD2:

OS Version: 5.2.21864

Manila Version: 2.5.19202525.0

ROM Version: 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE

Rom date: 10/26/09

Radio Version: 2.04.50.22_2

Protocol Version: 15.26.50.07U

Flash size: 512mb

How can I run android on this phone and how can I get an official update as I have no trust in unofficial updates.

THANK YOU :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
its a regular hd2, or a telstra hd2. either way, none of the official updates for it contain a high enough radio for android..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superjjskate:
where did people get the stock roms then? and whats the best way to get android on my phone by just running it on SD and how can i just patch just the radio and is it only the radio that needs to get patched?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
they get stock roms from the thread in rom development called "leo official roms". but as i said, i'm pretty sure android needs a radio of 2.10.50 or so to work best, and the x.x.50 radios come from the tmous roms, so you would need to hspl to flash those radios..

your best option rather than asking here is to go read the android section. there are a few "how to"s in there will tell you all about it.

so basically i have generic x10i uk r2ba020 f/w on my rogers x10a phone..

i kept having problems with wifi and i'm thinking it might be because of the firmware i have currently, so i want to bring it back to x10a (rogers f/w)

however, i've tried the flashtool in jerpelea's thread, the one-click apk file, and they both keep giving me this error

right after i connect the phone in flash mode, i get

'invalid or corrupt 'jar' file'

i can't use omnius because i need to purchase licenses and it's no longer free..

is there any other way for me to get this phone back to x10a??? i'm really worried that i won't even be able to update to 2.1 when the update comes out.. :(

Comes with a screen protector, and is a well made rubber case, with hard plastic clip-on outer shell. Very very pleased with mine! Don't mind the bulky look it gives it. Its well made too so doesn't cheapen the look of the phone like the hong kong ebay tat does.

If you want next day delivery, mobilefun also sell this case, but its £10 more with them for some reason.

Buy insurance and just enjoy your desire naked
[Desire Accessories] System of a pWne!^:
A mobile insurance is the most useless insurance you can get. It's useless on thefts because the phone gets stolen in most cases when it's unattended so the insurance does not jump in. If you have lost your phone, you anyway won't get any money back. Also it does not help you with physical damage due to "normal usage", including scratches. And in the case you are covered, you may pay a few $$ anyway (deductible).

At least that's the case for every mobile insurance here in my country. But I doubt it's much different in others.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
The point is to factory wipe your old phone so a stranger isn't getting your paid apps for free. Google only ties your paid and free apps apps to your gmail account cause they know nobody would let a stranger keep their paid apps. And they don't care if a legitimate owner keeps 2 active phones on the same account cause that person has it in their interest if they want to do that cause they paid for their apps.

It's the same principle as owning a credit card. If I chose to give my credit card to my son to use, then its my choice and the card company does not care cause its in my interest to do what I want with my card. And if I want to take responsibility for that giving it to someone to use then its no issue in their eyes, the bill still gets paid.
